“The only thing that stands between you and your wellbeing is a simple fact: you have allowed your thoughts and emotions to take instruction from outside rather than within.” - Sadhguru Health, is our most important asset that we often take for granted, thinking we would always be invulnerable. It is only when we reach the point of no return that we realise what we have been doing has slowly destroyed us. Most of us create conditions every single day that will lead to unwanted outcomes. Do we really have to wait for a final diagnosis before we act? Why not take the initiative today to live better longer. Join me on a new series of podcasts addressing one of the significant life domains – your health and well-being. I will delve into how you can navigate through health challenges and make wellness work. Learn the key and effective ways for a better quality of life. Know how to have more vitality, avoid debilitating diseases, and live the best days of your life. Have new perspectives that can result in positive changes.

Highlights:  Wellness has to do with the environment within you and your deliberate actions to manage stress, improve wellbeing, and prolong life. There have never been more mental health problems because of the environment we are creating. The future of wellness is going to be more geared around how you feel about who you are. Many of us think there is something wrong with us and that we need to be like other people rather than just being a better version of ourselves.

Wellness Works - Navigating Mental and Physical Health Part 1

“A lot of the conflict you have in your life exists simply because you’re not living in alignment; you’re not being true to yourself.” - Steve Maraboli Attachment and authenticity, our two needs as human beings that if not managed well can lead us to living the lives we do not want. Being authentic gives us freedom, joy, and fulfillment but it is quite challenging to do, for when we become really attached to this world, our current operandi is to never be ourselves. Although attachments help us survive, they can also limit us from being who we were meant to be. We need to be more aware and accepting of the attachments we have and let go of those that do not serve us. Being true to ourselves is a decision we must consciously and intentionally make every single day. These are just some of the points that Dr. Ray Sylvester and I have been delving into in the past few weeks as we started a new series of podcasts centering on the all-important subject of attachment and authenticity. Join us today, as we embark on the last part of this sequence, but not the last stop of the journey to discovering your true self. Learn how you can turnover your negative attachments, maximise your talents or your unique gifts, and most significantly transform yourself. Stop holding yourself back. Be uniquely you. Highlights:  Disproportionate attachments can have negative impacts on someone’s progress. To be authentic is to deliberately commit to time with self and to be present in a moment. We limit our potential when we make our attachments based on competition. Talent needs perseverance and passion to grow. Transformation comes from the renewal of the mind.  Important stories:  3:16 Attachments that limit us. 6:50 The decision to be authentic. 17:15 Unintentionally intentional. 24:48 The need to persevere with the talents you have. 40:08 Authorship and authenticity. 47:50 Being born with authenticity.

Attachment & Authenticity - Navigating Human Connection Part 5

“Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be attained only by someone who is detached.” - Simone Weil​​​​​​​ Are you merely surviving? Would it not be great if you were thriving? We survive through our attachments but thrive by being authentic. Authenticity is being true to yourself, and standing up for your values and principles in the metaphysical state. It is the result of who you think you are and the things to which you are attached. There is nothing better than finding our own unique gifts and sharing them with others. We can all contribute and make the world a better place in our own distinct way. However, most of us are governed by our attachments because of the enormous impact of what we are told and the trauma we experience. This prevents us from discovering our true potential. For us to be who we truly are, we need to be aware of our negative attachments, detach from them, and find positivity. Join us in today’s episode to gain more insights on how you can master a balance between the two human needs. Dr. Ray Sylvester and I will delve deeper into this incredibly significant subject. This is the fourth part in a series of podcasts. We encourage you to listen to the whole sequence to understand more how your attachments affect you as well as how you can fulfill your need for authenticity. Be kind to yourself. Be the best version of you. Highlights:  Detaching does not invalidate attachments. Attachments are connected to our five senses and are evidence-based. We can master a balanced perspective on managing setbacks by being kind to self while recognizing where you are. The sixth sense is the origin of movement toward authenticity; it is a deeper form and sense of self. Being in a deep contemplative state allows us to break away from fear and the association of experiences as well as find our potential.   Important stories:  1:28 Detaching from attachments to be authentic. 4:48 Negative attachments in life. 10:31 Setback, relapse, denial, and recognizing attachment. 18:28 Identity with a better version than the current self. 22:40 Living the challenges now. 24:55 Choosing authenticity and having faith to find your own way. 37:15 The balance between engagement and disengagement in today’s times. 41:36 Making attachments positive.

Attachment & Authenticity - Navigating Human Connection Part 4

“Authenticity is a collection of choices that we have to make every day. It is about the choice to show up and be real. The choice to be honest. The choice to let our true selves be seen.” - Brené Brown Our attachments begin to form from inception as part of our survival mechanism. They are our way of navigating through the world we live in. However, there are those that limit us from being our authentic selves. It is therefore imperative that we recognise and let go of the ones that do not serve us, as well as understand our necessity for authenticity. How do we do this when our attachments are connected to our everyday interactions? These are some of the points that Dr. Ray Sylvester and I will delve into today’s episode. This is already the third part of our new series of podcasts.  Join us in our profound conversations on the incredibly significant matters of identity, attachment, and authenticity. We will also further touch on the impact they have on our lives and the importance of looking at who we are at our core. Nothing is more fulfilling than being true to yourself.  Give yourself time to reflect on the things you are attached to in your life. Stand up for your deeper purpose. Highlights:  Thriving is becoming authentic through your own decisions. The need for attachment is stronger than the need for authenticity. Attachment is our way of navigating around this world, while authenticity is finding who you are and having a deeper sense of purpose. Symbolic interaction is a dichotomous assessment of identity. Our reflection space helps us move into authenticity. You are addicted to your attachments if you are busy being busy.  Important stories:  2:34 Identity formation. 5:59 Attachments can unknowingly impact our lives. 8:38 The challenges in education in relation to attachment and authenticity. 10:09 My own attachments. 13:20 Moving from social identity to authenticity. 16:55 Dr. Ray Sylvester’s attachments.

Attachment & Authenticity - Navigating Human Connection Part 3

“As soon as extreme attachment comes, a man loses himself, he is no more master of himself, he is a slave.” - Swami Vivekananda Are you having difficulty getting out of the situation you are in? We all pursue to veer away from where we are, but we often get entangled and instead fall deeper into the conditions we do not want. Although attachments are part of our lives, being overly concerned about them is detrimental to us. It is only when we learn to disengage that we discover our authentic self and gain more peace and fulfillment. Come with us as we venture deeper into the realm of attachments in our pursuit for authenticity. Tune in to this second episode of a new series of podcasts to gain more insights. Learn how to acknowledge and safely detach from the tangible measures that others have imposed on you. Avoid self-destruction. Have the power to stand up for your true self. Highlights:  References to us are typically connected to tangible measures that we recognize. People use tangible measures to protect themselves from the view and perceptions of others. Peak consciousness is the ability to explore based on who you are and not on where you are. Deep levels of attachment drown out the ability to hear your authentic self, if they become the most important thing in your life. The easiest we can be is ourselves and the hardest is to be something we are not, but the world teaches us otherwise. If you do not seek support, you could find yourself falling into a deeper state of being attached to where you are.  Important stories:  4:15 The tangible and intangible measures in the pursuit of your authentic self. 8:46 Finding oneself again. 16:10 Identifying with and being inspired by David Goggins. 20:30 Empowered not to be attached to anything. 23:19 Acknowledging attachments. 28:58 The cliché in being a self-made person. 33:01 Getting and giving the needed support to get out of where you are. 39:01 Things you can do to avoid compromising your true self.
