This episode aired July 14, 2024, on the YOUR HEALTH MATTERS radio show with Karl Sterling and Elizabeth Brusa on News Radio 570 WSYR AM, also available on 106.9 FM.

This show was a unique experience, delving into important health-related topics. It wasn't just about physical health but also about fostering a respectful and enriching environment.

### Key Topics We Explored

We started by addressing the great divide within our society, focusing on the recent Trump shooting. There is no room for such violence. The idea that Biden prompted this is absurd unless future evidence proves otherwise. Both Trump and Biden have their haters, but regardless of political differences, we discussed using this event to unite us rather than divide us.

We then explored politics and hatred, societal behaviors such as lack of responsibility, respect, and action. We examined weaknesses in society and individuals, lack of leadership, and prevalence of ignorance and entitlement.

Our segment on "Being Respectful to Others" highlighted respect's power in building stronger communities. "Not Being an Ass" addressed our behavior's impact and practicing empathy and kindness consistently.

We discussed altruism and community service in "Serving Others," sharing stories of people making a difference. In "Eliminating Greed and Control Issues," we explored the toxic effects of greed on mental health and strategies to cultivate generosity.

"Not Judging People" emphasized the importance of an open mind and acceptance, providing tips on overcoming biases. "Thinking More Like God Rather Than Like a Human" delved into spiritual perspectives on life and relationships.

We also covered practical advice in "Not Being a Burden to Others," focusing on maintaining independence while balancing the need for help. "Not Being an Energy Sucker or an Emotional Suction Cup" taught how to avoid draining behaviors and boost energy and resilience.

In "Not Being Rude and Imposing Yourself in the Space of Others," we discussed respecting personal boundaries and the etiquette of thoughtful communication. Our segment on "Gym Etiquette" outlined rules for a respectful gym environment.

"Just Being NICE and Showing Love and Respect to Others" explored the ripple effect of kindness, highlighting simple acts that make a big difference. "Exercising the Power of Your Brain and Your Free Will" focused on leveraging mental strength and free will to make healthier choices.

As we navigated these discussions, we reflected on the impact of simple acts of kindness, respect, and thoughtful behavior. Each positive change starts with a single step. Let's use our free will and mental strength to create a better world, one respectful interaction at a time.
