I know everybody wants something that works quickly and changes things dramatically. Maybe you’ve tried some of those ideas, and if you have what you’ve probably found is that they work really well for some fairly brief period of time before fizzling out completely. If you're sick of getting your hopes up for strategies or treatments that don’t work in the long run, this episode is for you. The strategy I’m going to teach you today isn’t fast, it isn’t magic, and it isn’t terribly exciting. But if you execute this strategy correctly, it can turn you into a relentless depression-crushing machine. It can give you a tank to ride into the greatest battle of your life, slowly but consistently crushing your mental health symptoms under your tireless treads. It’s called “marginal gains” and it’s a proven process in sports and business. It’s based on the work of cycling coach Dave Brailsford and the Kaizen Six-Sigma philosophy of management. I can tell you from personal experience that it also works in mental health. I hope you enjoy!
