What are the moments, in your everyday life, that you truly enjoy?  In this busy world, there are too many people who are feeling overwhelmed, racing from one thing to the next, and aren't fully enjoying their everyday life. Well, life is too short NOT to enjoy it, so let's talk about an easy way to boost your enjoyment in living.  

In this episode, we're talking about BUILDING these moments into your daily life without taking a lot of extra time and effort.  Rather, it's more about looking at your day and finding opportunities to enjoy the moments more, or to build in some small things that make you happy.  

I'm working on this too, and I'll share some things that I enjoy,  that I'm adding into my daily life too.  Planning ahead to include these small moments to enjoy paves the way for an uplifted mood, less stress, more resilience, and more engaged living!

When you think about your healthy habits, is there ONE that's a "lynchpin" for you?  Is there ONE habit that you practice, that gives you more momentum and makes it more likely for you to follow through with other healthy habits? 

In this episode, I'm sharing my personal "lynchpin habit" and discussing the added benefits of a more positive, uplifting mindset, higher step count, and healthier food choices, when I take time to practice this ONE habit in the morning.  

How about you?  It's worth considering what YOUR lynchpin habit may be, so that you can tap into that extra momentum and boost that flows from practicing this one habit!

What we focus on, leads to how we feel.  

This episode challenges us to choose to focus our attention in a positive way, to promote good feelings.  It's a simple, powerful truth, that our focus leads to our feeling, and being able to shift our focus is a skill worth mastering.  

Without intention, it's easy to slip into "autopilot" and get stuck worrying about our problems.  However, with some deliberate practice, we can develop this skill and take control over our focus and our mood.

When creating a plan for healthy habits, choose one that you want to stay on for the long term.  We've all had the experience of chasing a shiny, new plan that seemed like a quick fix, but quickly fizzled out because it was too restrictive and we couldn't make it fit real life.  And no plan is effective if you do it for a few weeks or months and then drop it altogether because it's just too much.  

Whether it's a plan for eating, exercise, relaxation, or sleep, choose something with some built in flexibility that allows you to make it work around the ups and downs of life, and allows you to be consistent.  When you can be consistent, you'll see results, and that will strengthen your commitment for long term success.

Let's talk about getting a metabolic advantage by utilizing the thermic effect of food! For those of us making an effort to reach or maintain a healthy body weight, including foods with a higher thermic effect can give us a nice boost.   The thermic effect of food refers to the calories that your body uses to digest, absorb, or process a particular food.   Along with basal metabolic rate and physical activity, the thermic effect is a part of our energy expenditure.  

In this episode, we'll discuss 3 ways to take advantage of the thermic effect of food including:  (1) prioritizing protein, (2) spices, and (3) green tea.  Foods with a higher thermic effect also tend to increase insulin sensitivity and keep us feeling full longer.  This is a simple, easy strategy to get a real metabolic boost!

Maintaining TRUE connection in a "world of technology" is what we're talking about in this episode today.  We live modern lives with plenty of screen time, so it's more important than ever, to make an intentional effort to connect with others, even in simple ways.  Although technology is an integral part of our everyday lives, it's important that we don't let it control us in a way that "steals" our presence.  

In doing this, the first step is to be aware of our use of technology and how it can potentially interfere with everyday moments of interaction.  Then, I'm challenging all of us (myself included), to make an extra effort to acknowledge each other in meaningful ways.  I'd suggest leaning into the subtle interactions that can easily fade away when we're not intentionally being present, such as a smile or a nod, making eye contact, or sharing a kind word or greeting.  

These are healthy ways of interacting and respecting each other,  in our busy everyday lives.  Sharing these simple types of interactions, allows us to stay in touch with the very qualities that make us human, and to sense that humanity in others.

In this episode, we're talking about exercise as a tool to promote emotional regulation (balance).  Being emotionally regulated is a key factor in promoting our mental health, by helping us monitor, evaluate, and modify our emotional responses to situations that we experience every day.  

Many studies demonstrative the antidepressive effects of exercise, so it is no surprise that exercise plays such an important role in emotional regulation overall.  In this episode, we discuss the mechanisms by which exercise helps us achieve emotional balance and the many benefits we experience when we consistently take action to maintain emotional regulation.

It's mid-September, and we're stepping into... fall!  The season of transformation.  In this episode, we talk about the natural delights of the fall season but more importantly, what fall represents, as a time of transformation, in our own lives.

Fall is a perfect time to pause, breathe, and purposefully find contentment in our journeys, as we reflect, and roll into the last four months of the year.  Many of us have been taking the small steps and showing up each day, but we're still not seeing the results the way we'd like to.  If this sounds like you, take a pause.  Breathe.  Rest, in knowing that your small steps DO matter, and that change is underway.  You may not see it yet, but it's coming.

Change is a process, and it takes time.  Just as transformation in the fall season takes time, transformation in our individual lives takes time too.  Now is not the time to give up.  Rather, it is the time to pause and breathe, and FIND a way to be content and enjoy the everyday moments of your journey, in this beautiful fall season.

This episode is all about being proactive about your mood and the quality of your day, despite the situations and challenges that inevitably come up. 

Taking responsibility for your own peace and happiness is a powerful shift, since these positive emotional states are foundational to our mental and physical health.  Choosing to be happy, and staying in peace, means that our bodies and minds are flooded in the physiology of positive emotions!  

Most of the time, our circumstances really aren't the problem, it's our approach.  Let's focus on what we CAN control, and choose to find peace and happiness in the day, despite the situations that unfold.
