Today's Juicy Topics:
Today's Juicy Topics:
- Introduction and Setting the Scene: I'm coming to you live from my beloved Starbucks, the place where my day often begins with a smile and a familiar drink. It's here, across from Walmart, where I find a slice of my everyday joy.
- The Importance of Mind, Body, and Spirit: We're exploring how these three elements are crucial for creating the life you desire. I share my conviction that to truly live the life you want, you've got to nurture each aspect.
- Personal Journey and Realizations: I open up about my own journey of resilience. I used to think I could handle anything life threw at me – multitasking, stress, you name it. But I realized my body wasn’t getting the care it deserved. Time for change!
- The Impact of Stress and Trauma: Post-COVID, I learned that resilience needs rest too. I discuss the often-overlooked aftermath of stress and how it can sneak up on us when we least expect it.
- Exploring Solutions and Techniques: I share two life-changing practices that have helped me tremendously. Spoiler alert: they might change your life too!
- The Role of Diet and Mind-Body Connection: Diet is more than just food; it's about nourishing your entire being. I talk about why I don’t follow the ketogenic diet and introduce Dr. Adita Niraka's insights from her book "The Five Resets."
- Creating Ease and Practicing Gratitude: Ease doesn’t just happen; it’s created. I share how my daily routine of prayer, meditation, and gratitude helps me create a sense of ease in my life.
- Conclusion and Looking Forward: We wrap up with today's affirmation and a peek into what's coming next week – a discussion on eudaemonic versus hedonic happiness.
