Hagios Akins Podcast: Health & Wellness

Trust Issues can affect the quality of our lives from our mental health to our physical health; these issues plague our lives feeding on our insecurities and making us lose out on the best part of life. What do you do when you have no other choice but to trust people? Join Kenny "Purple" and I as we rub minds together on how to remedy these issues.

Ever watched an american football match where you see the cheerleaders of each team chanting and performing all sorts of acrobatics in order to gear up the spirit of the team? With no doubt, this external cheer has its benefits but when push comes to shove, will the external cheer still be potent? No. This is where personal drive, personal words of affirmation come to play.... Your inward cheer. From experience, I would rather be my own cheerleader than wait for others to cheer for me. It's not pride; it's just me realising that I can soar higher if only I believe in myself and so can you too.

There is a common saying that you give power to whatsover you believe in. Then imagine what wonders you would do if you can only believe in yourself, your visions and your goals.

Join Francisca and I as we navigate through the waters of self realisation and how to persevere like the "wild grass".

Ever watched a pirate movie and there is a storm? We notice that the captain calls out the crew to set sail for the eye of the storm. Why? Because that's where the waters are calm, that's where they can literally be at peace. However to sail there, there has to be a will to survive as they face unforgiving large waves.

Your storm might not be as the pirates at sea, it could be a relentless endless loop of mindless chatter and having no idea how to stop it or a challenge which can be eating you up. Whatever the case may be, storms are often exasperating and the only logical way to overcome this storm is to find it's eye ~ Peace.

Join Francisca and I as we share helpful tips on how to sail through the storm.

Malaria is a common disease which is caused by that pesty little creature called mosquito 🦟. It gets so annoying when all you want to do is have a good night rest but you are faced with it's buzz in your ear and you say to yourself '...of all places, why my ear?". Well, as annoying as these creatures are, they can be life threatening, killing an individual slowly as they transmit plasmodium parasite(s) into the body. Join Timilehin and I in today's health talk while we debunk some myths on malaria: causes, symptoms, prevention and cure.

Mental health whether we like it or not can be influenced by social media as the brain receives several information from what we see and hear via neural networks impacting our thoughts, response, speech and emotions. Though social media can be a source of entertainment, joy, love, information, surreal feeling and everything in between, it can also be a source of negative emotions.

Join HagiosAkins and I as we steer you through this sticky situation.

Regret is a word dreaded by many and usually seems at the tip of our tongues when we wish we could have done some things better or even not have done it at all. It's human to always want to be perfect free of every flaw in this case, regrets but you come to realise that that very flaw makes you who you are. Well, instead of allowing these emotions of regrets drown you in a fairytale of your own making, you can accept the reality of things and take actions to be a better you. Join me and Hagios Akins as we decipher the conceptual thinking of "What ifs" attributed to regrets.

One major element that contributes to our total well being is food - a basic necessity for life. Here at HagiosAkins, we believe in goal setting and being the best you can but how can you achieve these amazing feats if you don't screen the 'fuel' your body needs to function. Well, join me and my guest, a health practitioner as we dive into 'food' 😉 and how it affects our daily lives.

Around us, day in day out there are sounds generated right from when we wake: the birds chirp, the dogs bark, cars move and even the Sonorous voice from the pretty girl across the street. These sounds could either be pleasant or not and when it's not, it's called noise. Join me in today's episode as you get to understand the need for "ear plugs" to shut the noise 🔊👂 ❌

Day in day out we are busy and life can seem overwhelming that we sometimes end up feeling like a mess. Relax, take a deep breath because you aren't, you are just stressed. Stress? well, that's your body experiencing "wear and tear", trying to adjust to your ever busy schedules. Differing from one individual to another, stress isn't something you can totally get rid off, but one thing is certain, effective management of stress can drastically improve your overall being.

Come reason with us as we rub minds, sharing our thoughts on simple guides to stress management.

"An unintentional life accepts everything and does nothing. An intentional life embraces only the things that will add to the mission of significance." (John C. Maxwell). Join me as our guest speaker - Shola and I talk on what It means to be deliberate about your goals with a clear purpose in mind, having a bull's eye on the target.

The truth is being intentional isn't complicated at all because we unconsciously do so.

Cast you mind back to the time you wanted to get a sophisticated gadget and you didn't have the money but decided to save to afford it. Well...that's you being intentional.

Now imagine if this same energy is consciously channeled to being the best you can.

Remember, "Change is inevitable. Growth is Intentional" (Glenda Cloud)
