Niko Moon is a country pop singer known for upbeat and positive songs like "Good Time" and "Better Days." Behind those feel-good songs, though, are some tough times. He's struggled with anxiety and panic attacks, and he almost quit music when he couldn't break into the industry.

But he found help with therapy, and now he establishes simple daily routines that help him build mental strength. Some of the things he talks about today are:

• How he figured out he needed professional help
• The difficulties he endured that caused heartbreak
• How he overcame the stigma associated with therapy
• Why it may take four different therapists before you find one who is a good match for you
• The most important lessons he learned in therapy (and the one thing he overlooked but he says is probably obvious to everyone else)
• The importance of having a structured daily routine
• The simple morning and bedtime routines that were game-changers for him
• Why he keeps his music so positive
