On this episode of the High Flow Lifestyle Show, I talk with Faust Ruggiero about how we can develop our creativity and follow life’s natural flow.

in individual, family, substance abuse, women’s issues, and marital/ 

couples counseling. During that time, he developed the Process Way 

of Life, and has used it with over 2,000 of his clients, helping them 

to realize and unleash the power they have inside themselves. 

The Process Way of Life has now been developed 

into a written version of the original counseling program, and 

is now an award-winning book entitled The Fix Yourself Handbook. 

Life’s Natural Flow -  If you find yourself living in flow with nature, you don’t find yourself intellectually compromised. When you make a decision that goes against that, emotionally you find yourself all over the place. Spiritually there is a disconnect.  

• You get there by slowing down. 
• You get there by learning to gather facts. Without holding a predetermined decision. 
• Keep the facts in line with what should be, not the way you think they should be. Be open to alternate paths. ..

Getting strong on the inside gives you more control of the external stuff.  

Internal Language and Brain Control   -  cognitive behavioral therapy – can people change? 

Learning is simply repetition over time. The more we think negatively the more we ingrain that type of mindset. Retrain and reverse that, and think positively about yourself. ..

On this episode of the High Flow Lifestyle Podcast we're talking about health and diet in relation to flow. 

Recently, in an article titled: Whole Foods CEO John Mackey: The ‘best solution’ is to not need health care and for Americans to change how they eat and live” 

He’s made statements like this before so his position isn’t anything new, but it’s something that not enough people are listening to. With 71% of Americans being overweight and 42.5% considered obese. 

“I mean, honestly, we talk about health care. The best solution is not to need health care.”  

He continues with,  

“The best solution is to change the way people eat, the way they live, the lifestyle, and diet,” Mackey says. “There’s no reason why people shouldn’t be healthy and have a longer healthspan. A bunch of drugs is not going to solve the problem.” 

He says that “Clearly, we’re making bad choices in the way we eat... It’s not a sustainable path. And so, I’m calling it out.” 

He is promoting a better lifestyle over expensive healthcare.  

This really resonates with me and is also part of the reason I started the High Flow Lifestyle Community.  

Exercise and health have always been important to me...

With all of the stimulation we have in our lives, whether it’s digital or just in the form of advertising, we’ve lost an important ingredient for creativity, intuition and flow, and that’s boredom.
