Live Mindfully with Lori Moore

Every time this happens to me, my go-to is to tell my mind that enough is enough and every time this does not work.

Fortunately I do have some tried and true techniques that do.

Before we can stop thinking about the argument or the thing that has upset us we need to process it. You may be thinking you don't have time for this step, but trust me, this will take FAR less time to do then having your mind on its rote little activity of repeating the same phantom conversation in your mind.

Listen in to this week's episode "How to reset your mind after an argument". It's a goodie ♡

Thank you so much for listening.

This week I am talking about my version of the three keys to wellness and as usual, it probably wont be what you're thinking.

Over time, and from various places, we have been sold a version of wellness that, to me, comes off as unachievable and harmful. Everything in wellness seems to be complicated; involving a strict level of balance that doesn't exist in the modern world and consistency.

If, like me, these rules aren't working in your favour, perhaps my version of wellness is what you have been searching for 😉

This episode is only 17 minutes long. Tune in now.

Check out the resources and articles below for more on wellness (the Lori way):

I loved this blog from Teresa Keever. She has undergraduate degrees in psychology and nursing and a graduate degree in Integrative Health and Wellness. Her blog, titled Why Inconsistency is also key can be read here: https://teresakeever.com/why-inconsistency-is-also-key/

This week I am talking all about the science backed theory of how micro changes have a longer lasting affect on our wellness than big changes.

This theory has started to make its way into more conversations, especially with health professionals, as evidence continues to mount on how ineffective our goal planning is when it comes to improving our health. Research out of the U.S. shows that 75% of their health care spending goes on preventable illness. I imagine Australia is much the same.

So with our healthcare system busting at the seams and more and more doctors reducing bulk billing, it might be time to check in on some of your bad health habits.

Today's episode title is a little tongue in cheek. OF COURSE we should be kind to one another, but before we do that, do you know what being kind means?

Today we take a look at kindness and people-pleasing and the fine line that exists between the two.

Today's topic is one that I have been mulling over in my head for many many years and finally, I think I have a really strong understanding of what great leaders and spiritual guides mean when they say act with kindness - it may not be what you're thinking.

Thank you so much for listening.

Perfectionism was first discussed in psychiatry and psychologist circles in 1965 when M H Hollender described perfectionism from a psycho-pathological perspective as a demand to oneself or others of a higher quality of performance than that required by the situation.

In most cases, I think most of us assume that some levels of perfectionism are important. It's important to do things to a high standard, it shows pride, motivation and conscientiousness.

Unfortunately, it also leads to higher levels of stress, anxiety and burnout and is stealing our moments of joy.

Listen in to gain some a deeper understanding of perfectionism and what you can do to begin to minimise this personality trait within yourself (also a perfect episode for anyone living with a perfectionist :-)

I remember watching an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show way back when and Oprah saying that she could make a show out of anyone. She didn't need a special guest or a celebrity. In fact, she could pull a person out of the audience and create a great show from that, which is exactly what she did. 

Why? Because we all have great stories and great potential within each of us. Each of us has experienced life's hardships and wins. Joseph Campbell, great philosopher and American Writer, called this the Hero's Journey.

So when you look back over your past, are you proud of the story you've written and inspired about your future? And if not, maybe now is the time to start writing something different.

Tune in for more.
