Why self-discovery is a game changer for your mental health

Self-discovery is defined as “the process of acquiring insight into one's own character”.

Self-discovery is truly powerful.

It played a huge role in my mental illness recovery and is the most effective strategy I have used to discover who I am, my passions and my purpose.
