So let me share some of my favorite lines from this interview:

“Sometimes people don’t realize that when you don’t take care of yourself, you are not being the best mother or best leader because you resent when people are stressed and burned out, they start developing resentment for the same. Life changed for you after you sought treatment and support for yourself and then you are able to be the best version of yourself. ” – Dr. Rozina

“I 100% encourage my staff to use their time for mental health. Mental health days. That is just so important. It is integrative health, as you mentioned, in terms of, yes, you might have a stomachache, you might hurt your leg or whatnot. But there’s also that mental stress where you just need a day to decompress and turn off and disengage from technology.”
– Dr. Wong 

“Seeking help doesn’t mean that you need to be out of commission, seeking help means that you want to prevent being out of commission.”

– Dr. Rozina

“Keep talking about mental health. The more and more we talk about it, the more the stigmatized it’ll be, the more normalized it will be. My hope, I hope in my lifetime, is that it becomes routine. Just like you would go to a dentist twice a year annually that you do have some mental health care and checkup. It is one of the important parts of our health and really can help hinder us or keep us maintained.” – Dr. Wong

So today, think about some activities that would help you prevent mental health concerns. A well-balanced life is still the best way to become a great version of yourself so you can lead others well.
