In these content segments, Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes discusses the importance of courage and hope in integrated behavioral health. She explains that courage is necessary for any change because it can be stressful and make us feel trapped or powerless. However, by acknowledging our fears and anxieties and mustering up courage, we can start taking steps towards positive changes. Dr. Snipes suggests identifying five challenges that we have successfully overcome as a way to build courage and hope.
She provides strategies to increase courage and hope, including recognizing our strengths and past successes, identifying available resources, and visualizing success. Setting daily goals and celebrating small victories along the way can also help build momentum and motivation. Dr. Snipes introduces the concept of finding the "third door," which involves thinking creatively and finding alternative ways to achieve goals when traditional methods don't work.
Dr. Snipes emphasizes the importance of finding alternative strategies when faced with challenges and learning from failures. She introduces a daily meditation exercise to cultivate motivation and remind oneself of the purpose behind their efforts. Dr. Snipes also highlights the five different types of motivation: physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and environmental.
She suggests surrounding oneself with supportive reminders and resources in the environment and identifying sources of support. Motivation, courage, and hope are interconnected and influence each other. Seeking inspiration from others who have successfully navigated similar challenges and finding strength and hope in support groups or meetings can enhance courage. Dr. Snipes concludes by expressing gratitude and encouraging further exploration of her YouTube channel for more resources.
