Dr. UnStuck Podcast — Get Out of Your Head. Get Into Your Life.

Happiness as a duty

Life is just a test, not an emergency.

It can be all too easy to get buried beneath schedules, demands of life, as well as every day mundane tasks. Same. Same. Same.

For centuries, people have realized the healing power of a hot bath, or hydropathy. The American mountainous west has hot springs tucked away like Easter eggs, which have drawn people to experience their rejuvenating powers for ages. Clearly, we are on to something. Settling into a hot bath to sit with oneself, removed from the world as we know it, has incredible power for healing and rejuvenation of spirit.

Walking is known for its physical benefits, though rarely do we acknowledge it as the cure for most things. Many people who live deep into their 80's, 90's, and beyond will mention that walking each day had a whole lot to do with their longevity, and well as their happiness.

Build your reality

As they say, "bad habits die hard." It can really feel like an uphill push to steer away from something that feels so good in the moment, even though in the long run it is not good for us and may also make us feel guilty. There are some steps to take that can make shifting away from an unfavorable habit easier, as well as leaning into a healthier habit. When we do so, we save valuable life-minutes.

Rewrite your story

Prime your day.

Journalists are experts at finding the lead in a story. They are trained to observe and listen for what's not being said. They are on a mission to sift through the noise to find the fascinating. We can tap into our inner journalist to hone in on the lead within our own internal conversations. What is really going on in this relationship? Where am I being directed? What is my next move?
