The past few weeks have shed light on how important mental health is AGAIN.

The world lost another unbelievable human, Twitch to suicide. From society's point of view, he was achieving all his goals, looked happy, and had a beautiful family. He lit up every room he walked into.

Truth is, you never know when someone is feeling suicidal. It is heartbreaking. If you have had those thoughts or just need to talk to someone there is a hotline, dial 988.

Check in with your people! I am here to talk too.

When this time of year is happy for many, there are many people that could use some support.

Kaizen Challenge 1: Text or call 5 people and let them know you care about them.

Paul English is the co-founder of Kayak and is currently running Boston Venture Studio working on mass-market consumer apps.

He started Bipolar Social Club recently to break the stigma about mental health. Talk about your journey and start healing.

He has built many successful businesses and relies on the philosophy of putting his team first, customer second, and profit third. Develop your culture and alleviate stress in the office. Similarly, Richard Branson says

If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.” -Richard Branson

Your team and community is your largest asset. Make sure to empower them to make impactful decisions and make a difference.

As the New Year is coming you should reflect on where you are and where you are going. Are you happy? If not make the adjusted changes.

Kaizen Challenge 2: Do some self-reflection. Ask yourself these 6 questions.

We are always asking ourselves how to save more money, and how to reach that next step. Chris Hutchins states

We should really be optimizing for the net fulfillment in life.

Instead of listening to the people around you and what society expects of you really identify what you want and start living according to what makes you fulfilled.

Don't put yourself down, give yourself credit where it's due, and spend time with your family these holidays.
