8 Health Lessons Worth Sharing

1) A ‘good’ body doesn’t make one happier. I once trained someone up for their wedding (now a great friend) and he changed dramatically. When we got to a point of ‘satisfaction’ he realised it didn’t make him any happier standing in the church. The person he became in the process did. Think process more than outcome.

2) People are crying out to be listened to. How hard is it to listen to someone without waiting to give our response? Very. I’ve had people open up for an entire hour about relationships, the stress they’re facing and their boss being deleterious. Listening allows someone to open up. Let’s hope they ask how you are, too.

3) A cheeseburger doesn’t make you unhealthy. Not one thing can make someone unhealthy, or healthy. Health is a factor of the long-term cumulative effect of lifestyle choices made over time. Double patty, please!

4) The biggest common stressor i’ve seen working with hundreds of people? Poor sleep. Prioritise your sleep for a month and see what difference it makes. It’s your super power.

5) My biggest sleep tip. A restful sleep starts as soon as you wake up. Have I moved? When was my last caffeine hit? Have I used my brain today? What time am I shutting down my devices? Have I done my purvida breathwork?

6) The most important question to ask someone who’s asked for your help: what is your next move? If we only focus on the next step, the rest becomes inconsequential. Present.

7) People are really trying out there. I used to (regrettably) judge people if they didn’t move or weren’t ‘looking after themselves’. But you know what? People have different North Stars, different paths of progression. What someone deems as ‘lazy’ could be a mountain in that person’s mind. Be cool.

8) Big yourself up at least once a day. It’s amazing how much ‘the slip of the tongue words’ we deliver each day. “Ah, i’m rubbish at that”, “I can’t do that” or those tiny pernicious comments to ourselves we think don’t do anything (they do). We’re walking talking habits, actions, words, thoughts and feelings. Make ‘em positive ones.

Quote I’m pondering:

“The purpose of thinking is to let the ideas die instead of us dying.”

Alfred North Whitehead (mathematician)
