Physical and Mental Health
In an interview with SCMP, Dr. Carder shares her insight on the mind-body connection and her work with Women’s Five, the power of goal-setting, handling the challenges of pushing yourself physically and what that means for mental health.
"The definition of stress is [when] your perceived ability appears smaller than the perceived challenge, so to overcome it, make those challenges smaller. Your ability increases from changing the way you perceive the problem."
