E09 - The Generational Journey to Holistic Health: From Mindset to Habits
HOW TO SURVIVE THE HEAT
Alan: This triple digits is definitely testing my ability to get outside and enjoy and relax. Up next, I am waiting on making some zucchini bread until I find the exact right recipe. Stay tuned for that if you're into that thing.
UPDATE ON THE CHICKENS
I'm all in on the zucchini, and I think we need to give our listeners an update on the chickens. Except for the one who tried to eat my toe earlier in the week. So I should have some eggs for you pretty soon here.
GENOME HEALTH
This week we wrap up a three part series on some generational differences. Today we really want to come back to the topic of health. This gets into, once again, the workplace as a leader defining culture. Am I creating a culture of health for those who work with me?
THE PURSUIT OF HEALTH IN DIFFERENT GENERATIONS
For me, health is about physically feeling good. I don't see health just simply as absence of disease. What I'm hearing you is proactively. We don't have to be crazy about it. There's a lot of really simple things we can do to keep ourselves healthy.
MENTAL WELL-BEING
How do I stay mentally healthy? What can I focus on that slows me down? This may look different for every person. For many, this might bring added pressure. We want to give ourselves grace, but at the same time recognize that for some of us we may have to change something.
HOW DO WE TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT BEING HEALTHY?
How do we talk to people about being healthy? How do I know if I'm healthy or not? Sometimes we don't recognize it in ourselves. Ask those around you who know you now. They may notice something, but invite them to share their opinions.
BABY BOOMERS AND THEIR HEALTH
Many of us in the younger generations associate health more with exercising and eating healthily. This gets to different perspectives on what we would consider health or unhealth. It is important we talk about culture to once again not sacrifice ourselves in the process of serving others.
HEALTHY CULTURE STARTS WITH ME
If we want to move towards creating a healthier culture, it first starts with each of us. A book called Atomic Habits talks about the aggregation of marginal gains. If we seek to improve 1% better every day for a year, at the end of the year we'll end up 37 times better.
WHAT'S MY 1%
For each of us, that one thing we want to be just 1% better at is going to be different for all of us. Using that 1% on top of looking for those motivations could be really powerful in the workplace. We need to be creative in making a culture where stopping and having a healthy snack is available.
WHAT DO WE VALUE IN OUR WORKPLACE?
It comes back to what do I value in the culture I'm creating. We know this is about patient health and well being and providing the highest quality of care. But what do we truly value in our workplace? What do we Truly Value in our family?
THE NEVERENDING PATH
It has to come from a place of enjoyment. If you are incorporating one new fruit or vegetable into your diet, each week, you'll have 52 different fruits and vegetables. What we're talking about on the narrow path is that's sustainable and it's not about perfection. Pursue it in a playful manner.
CORE VALUES AND HOW TO KNOW YOURSELF
Alan: If you haven't developed your core values, take some time to do that. He says the core values of your own individual core values could also be a place to look for inspiration for how to be healthier. Alan: These topics are challenging. But it is definitely worth leaning into that discomfort.
