Your Longevity Lifestyle

Today we tackle the overused and abused topic of stress...but from a whole new perspective. 

If you're ready to let movement and stress intermingle along your longevity pathway, you will set yourself up to move mountains! 

In this episode, we discuss how movement permeates every aspect of life and how you can use it to craft stressors to make you stronger, more resilient and able to flow. Also, how to spot the stress that runs you down and pushes you to underperform.

Join us for a discussion, some helpful tips and a bit of encouragement to set yourself up to win!

Today we toy with the bounds of human potential and discuss what it's going to take to get us from survival-mode to actual thrival.

Change is the only thing you can count on. 

That message flies at us from every angle. 

And it's so untrue!

When we foster self-trust - we can count on the largest aspect of our lives...US!

Therefore, this podcast is dedicated to cultivating self-trust. I share an easy 5-step process to do just that. 

I hope it helps you feel lighter, freer and stronger in the face of the changing world!

Are you working at an unsustainable pace? 

That's the question we ponder today. 

Not only that, but we also look at how to tell, if you're not sure, and what to do about it if you are!

Burnout is a very real scare for entrepreneurs and many others, too. It's so easy to get caught in that whirlwind and not know how to get out.

Today we break burnout down into three sections and just tackle one of them: Continuous Overwork.

This episode is also available as a blog post: https://myspiritualcenter.wordpress.com/2021/07/29/are-you-working-at-an-unsustainable-pace/

Today we enter the realm of our self-worth. It's an often-overlooked bit of our self-esteem that can hold us back from reaching that next level anywhere in our lives. When we turn to face it, define it and play with it, then we can release some of the baggage that surrounds it. 

We discuss ways to do just that. Then, I share a process with you that I call the 5 Steps to Being Selfish.

Come along and answer the question...Are You Worth It?

Ever wonder what longevity looks like in the grander, vibrational scheme of things?

Today we look at the human body as a mass of individual frequencies, much like an orchestra. There are many levels of orchestra from the pros to the beginners. Our bodies sit somewhere on that spectrum of pleasant to listen to ... all the way to cover-your-ears bad. 

Yet all of this work we do to move our bodies, reset our minds and do the things that we talk about on this podcast changes certain frequencies. Bit by bit we work to bring the body back into harmonious vibration. We are using our powers of deliberate creation to affect change in our longevity.

To me, it's a very powerful perspective to take and I want to share it with you! If you're keen, have a listen!

Self-love only happens in the present moment. 

Today's 6 Step process leads us into Now! to harness the power of self-love and deepen our primary relationship (the one with ourselves).

Today's episode centers around the mindset reset that happens when we shift our focus from the problem in front of us to the possibilities that problem is urging us to see. 

As problems abound in the world and in my life, this theme is a prevalent one. Mixed in with the 5 Step process where we take our problems to possibilities are a couple of my personal stories. I hope that they inspire you to take the journey, so that your life is brimming with possibilities.

My process and this podcast were inspired by a podcast episode of Unlocking Us by Brene Brown where she talks with Shawn Ginwright about his book "The Four Pivots". It was released on February 23, 2022. I hope you are inspired to look it up and have a listen. It will be life-changing!

Exercise is good for us, right?

But what kind of exercise and when?

Noone wants to waste their time doing movement that doesn't get a good result. 

And we have all done it! Wasted our time with the latest fad only to end up with an injury or more belly fat or less energy.

With movement, getting as specific as possible will get us the best outcomes. 

In this episode I talk about my fitness journey and outline 7 steps to getting moving in the most efficient and effective way for you Right Now!

So, if you haven't done any type of movement in awhile or if fitness is a regular part of your day, these steps will help you get to that next level.

I do so in the hopes that you will take the opportunity to dive deeper into your values (if you are inspired), put your own twist on things and allow your genius to unfold. Then, I hope that you share it with the world to keep that ripple effect going!

Stress! Stress! Stress! 

Pretty much everything I do is to help myself and others lower the chronic cortisol levels that are making us tired and unhealthy.

Enter an even bigger stress...adversity. 

Adversity mimetics is a process where we (knowingly and intentionally) introduce the body to stressors that mimic times of hardship. 

Why?

And doesn't this oppose everything that I stand for and every action I take?

Not really.

Here, I quickly share how the two dovetail to create a longevity lifestyle that is precisely tailored to you!

Guilt is a yucky feeling that we all want to experience less. I'm talking the kind of guilt we feel when we're focused on one aspect of life, yet another one is calling to us: be it work or play, relationships or hobbies, striving or resting. Whatever elements might be in your schedule that vie for your attention all at once. 

Today I share a 3 step process I use to put that guilt to work and increase my overall productivity. 

Because why not use that yucky moment to do something with long-lasting results?

We've talked lots about the first of what I call the Pillars Of Longevity (Self-Love), today we dive into another pillar, The Mind.

Mindset is a super important part of carrying through with any change that we want to make. It underpins happiness. It is also what I call "the lens through which we view the world". 

Today we learn how to catch a glimpse inside this intangible entity of the mind. I share the 4 Easy Steps I take to meet up with mine and grasp the treasures that it holds. 

I'll also share a bit about the way I personalize my relationship with my mind and some ways I reduce stress in my life to bring myself into a better mindset.

Let's dive into this year and make it the best ever!

Following along from episode 15, I share with you my biggest lesson from 2021 (and how to discover yours, too).

Because I didn't 'take the direct route' toward my biggest dream last year, I learned the importance of doing just that. I also recognized 4 easy steps to make that pathway appear. In sharing these with you today, I hope to smooth the way so that your path appears at your feet and you have no choice but to follow it to your dream future!

Thank you for spending your valuable time with me.

How many times do you decide to make changes to yourself or your life based on frustration or judgement?

How long do those changes really last? How great do they feel, coming from that place of self-hate?

What if you came from a place of deep self-love. What if you were simply wanting something better for or more suited to your great self?

Today we look at garnering self-acceptance first...then everything else.

Focusing on yourself and reducing stress where you can is the ultimate in self-care, which translates to massive points in our self-love game! 

That's why we're talking stress! 

Where are your stress levels?

What things stress you out the most?

Your biggest stressors are probably not the things that come to mind first. 

Today we discuss 7 categories of hidden stress that steal your energy and threaten your longevity. Once we bring these areas to light, a few simple tweaks to your lifestyle can help you streamline, energize and flow through this holiday season with ease.

Do you feel like you are enough? 

Many of us go through life not feeling like we are enough. Whether it's social enough or independent enough. Active enough or relaxed enough. Driven enough or motivated enough. Let alone pretty or strong or kind or rich or thin enough! 

I am going to step out on a limb and say that no one feels like they are enough....enough! 

Feeling like we are enough is essential to growing our self-love. Today's exercise will take us into the world of "Enough" from setting a definition, to discovering where we are currently to building that solid foundation of "enough" so that we can take our self-love to the next level.

I hope you join in!

This episode is inspired by Brendon Burchard's practice of tying your identity to the things that really matter. First we'll play a bit with our definition of identity, then dive right into today's exercise.

I dove into producing this podcast without doing my favorite thing. 

Today we go back and remedy that.

When I talk about any subject, especially one as beat-up and overused as Longevity, I like to first define what it is. With longevity, it is our goal, our destination, our desire...or at least it is mine (and I assume it's yours because you found this podcast), so it's super important to start with a clear vision of what we are shooting for.

I share my definition, complete with it's origins and share a tip on how you can discover your personal definition. 

This process sets the foundation for everything we will do in the future. It paves our path to our own longevity experience.

In this episode of the Entrepreneurs Arena we look into what I term Entrepreneurial Guilt. 

Chances are that it either has, or is or will be affecting your entrepreneurial journey. 

And it's not fun.

What is it? It's that pull on your heart and your mind between your business and your personal life. It's that feeling that you should be at work when you are at home and, likewise, you should be at home when you are at work. 

Today we discuss a 3 step process to help you shed those sticky tentacles of Guilt and get back on your entrepreneurial track fast. 

I hope you enjoy!
