Tools for Vitality: Therapy, Coaching, Optimizing Nutrition and Movement for Mental Wellness
Hi there, I just wanted to go over a couple of definitions with you, as I tend to be pretty systematic in my approach to things. And I do think that it will serve us to also be systematic in our approach to enhance your mental wellness. So when I was looking at even designing a podcast, I am always have been very interested in passionate in helping people be in their best state of well being, so that you can then live for your capacities. You can cope well with stressors, whether they are normal, or just a little bit specific as to our situation currently. That we can really Then see you thrive and able to make a contribution not just to your own personal life, but also to your community. So when I chose this podcast also to help you express and practice your voice, Merriam Webster dictionary says that voice is defined as your right off expression. I have noticed in my own life, how difficult it has been for me, and this could have been just from my upbringing, to express and to voice my point, not to be overruling others not to win, but simply to contribute to this world, what it is for me to contribute. And there are ways that we can even train our brain and train our life, so that our voice can come to fruition and can be heard. And this is what this podcast will also target your ability to express your ability to contribute. Also, this podcast is all about sanity. And if we look again, in the dictionary, Merriam Webster says that sanity is defined as soundness of mind or health of mind. In that is a lot of times the focus in psychology to help people with their beliefs. For example, when we feel uncertain, and how to deal with the unknown, or the many demands that we are having right now. Or how to proceed when we feel stuck with maybe the same questions over and over where we don't have a answer, where we feel we can move forward. Or also, for example, with concern such as fears or anxiety, whether we are about it, situation that that brings us concerns, or we are with this understandable brain fog from the many demands and the influences of technology that can keep us in a state of overwhelm, unable to decide and unable to really be at our best. And in this podcast, we are creating this game plan together, where you can operate your voice, proceed with a sound mind and make the contributions that you would like to give to the community, to your immediate surroundings. And for the bigger legacy. Let's go in, in you know, in this podcast a little bit about into this idea of how we can get there. Because it may take a little bit of concentration, or at least listening to an episode. But you can with small strategies, which is still very astonishing to me how small things can rewire our brain, optimize ourselves, and move us from places where we feel stuck to the capacity to thrive. So for example, in this podcast, you will be able to see and understand and practice choices and see that these choices were that you've made them with a lot of awareness before what you felt more forced, you will be able to understand and to proceed with choices that will be able to leverage your well being. Also what you will notice is that it will be challenging, as you see me being challenged. For example, in my introduction, which I hate having a light on myself, I found myself talking pretty fast to kind of get through this. So you may find yourself similarly challenged from your life and your situation when you listen to an episode. But even if we are challenged, and we're exposing ourselves to strategies that will make a shift. It will allow you to create the ability in yourself to move through challenges with motivation and commitment. We will also look at the difficulty of being in reality. And when we look at ourselves in reality in a realistic light. A lot of times we don't like well We see, we don't like our own limitations. We don't like that. We don't have maybe what others have. But at the same time, as we are practicing, to make the most, even out of the when we face our own limitations, that will become our strength. At the same time, we will, in this podcast, practice intentionality. intentionality just has has to do with the idea that we can go on a certain pathway, we can try out a stretch strategy. And that will be enough to streamline our choices, it doesn't have to be perfect, we don't have to wait for something better to come away, which is simply a lot of times a byproduct of all these influences we've been bombarded with all these years that we think something that is out there, I can't commit myself yet, I'm still waiting. But instead, we will become intentional as to what we can do, what you could practice, even within our limitations. And that will launch you to enhance your decision making and well being. Another principle that we will use in this podcast is that we are developing with any of these strategies, what we call mindfulness, or the ability to observe from the inside. What we're dealing with, and, you know, in a way, with this awareness of what we're dealing with, we can then track what's going on in our mind what's going on in our brain, and how we can make a shift if necessary to optimize what's going on. So in this work here, so the the principle that that we're using, even when you listen to a podcast episode that's maybe 10 minutes long, is that we have this short term focus, which will help you implement are we after so practicing a strategy at a time practicing it maybe not as perfectly as you want. Just thinking about it, again, those small, seemingly small attempts and endeavors to optimize your well being, upgrade your relationship with yourself and others. And that is enough, which is so again, counterintuitive to how the world may operate, or you know, surroundings may give us certain impressions of how complex and challenging everything is. And this focus that we have, even if it's 10 minutes at a time, as you drive into work, and you're listening to an episode that will do the shift. So I invite you to make a couple of agreements with yourself so that you can embark on this mental wellness journey. So an agreement is that, for example, we are agreeing or I'm agreeing, even if I'm saying this right now, I'm agreeing to learn from my challenges, not to withdraw, not to pack it up and say, Well, apparently, this is not for me. But it means for me, if I'm doing this podcast, even I am practicing to learn from why challenges and that's actually what resilience actually is. We're learning from our challenges. So as challenges may appear, I know I face them in the past. And I know that even a strategy at a time with Teach me will teach you to keep our focus encouraged going despite of the challenges. And even, for example, me putting this podcast together as a classic example where things have not been How I wish they would have been for these episodes, and at the same time, we would just make the best of it. And developing this capacity will be able gives us the coping mechanisms that are at the Center for a healthy life. As we are practicing this together, you may find yourself knowing or feeling or experiencing that you operate or we all operate mostly without being aware how we make our decisions without being aware how we self sabotage. And that state where we just operate based on how the brain is wired is I call that a hijack brain it's it's not Fully checked in, it's not fully aware, it's not mindful, it just runs its course. And the hijack brain that we get to rewire to become a mindful brain of focus brain, a resilient brain is not yet fully resilient to what comes its way. For example, you plan something to do, but you end up doing something else. And so with the strategies that we get to look at here, we will put the tools in place, so that instead of being run in with your hijack brain, you'll get to be practicing, you're recovered, you're self aware, you are resilient, you're focused, you're intentionally bright, and thereby pursue your true mission. So even out of struggles and out of self sabotaging and out have checked out, decision making. They all can be used to become meaningful, but meaningful resilience. And even the things that gave us grief or grievance can be used, even our our failures, ignore setbacks, even us checking out 10 times before we practice, one strategy can be used as a way to point us forward. So if we look at that, even from, you know, growing up, we got to read a lot of stories from the growth, Greek mythology, even in school, where we see the link between sorrow and resilience. So for example, there was a person Icarus, the son of Daedalus when they knew that, when the son died, was very, very difficult, however, that dedalus was able to use his grief, to create something bigger buildings, monuments, and that was benefiting others at the time. So again, in this podcast, we will work on transforming that that was not successful, shaping out what we feared or difficulties of the past. And we are transforming that strategy at a time. So it's funny because, you know, I always want to point us forward. But in a way, if we have a look, even a quick glance at the things in the past, we were basically taking the past, to understand and to use the past to predict what would happen in the future if we make no change. So for example, even if we think about change, how has changed affected us how has affected my life? How has maybe advice we received influenced our decision making, and a lot of times I go back to what my grandmother taught me how we talked about situations, and how I been based on our conversations. I used what I learned from her to venture out, and this is what I would invite us to do together. Let's venture out and enjoy this exciting endeavor for well being together.
