SoulFull Wellness

Do you ever zone out while someone’s talking? Of course, we all do!  The average human has an 8-second attention span. With so many distractions competing for our time, listening attentively can be surprisingly challenging. Today we’re talking about how you can be a better listener. This will make you a better friend, parent, spouse, boss, employee, co-worker… the list goes on. Giving someone the space to express themselves is the greatest gift you can give, which is why today we’re giving you 6 tools that you can start today, to be a better listener. We’re living in a time when it’s challenging to be consistently aware and intentional because so many things demand our attention. Our brains haven’t caught up to the technology that’s feeding them, leaving us over-stimulated. Focus is hard. Listening is hard. It’s a challenge to walk into a conversation without my agenda being forefront of my mind and your agenda forefront of yours. With the hectic, chaotic, complicated pace of life today, people are even more committed our own agendas. When you approach a conversation thinking only of your own agenda, you’re framing new information before you even hear it. It’s important to be open to new information that you’re not looking for but may benefit from learning. Here are six ways to become a better listener and, in turn, a better friend, spouse, parent, boss, employee, co-worker… you get the idea.

How many times have you written off signals until the relationship ended, at which point you could look back and the signs seem so obvious, once you have a bit of emotional distance? So often we dismiss, disregard or make excuses for things that we really need to pay attention to.

Today we’re revisiting this episode about relationship red flags. A red flag is a good intuitive image to help you process what you’re really feeling.

The red flags we’re talking about today can apply to romantic relationships, friendships, or your interactions with family. We identify six (plus one more BONUS flag!) specific red flags that we’ve experienced ourselves, interpret what they may mean, and offer suggestions for what you can do to handle these situations.

We even created the acronym DRAD just for you, to help you know what to do when you encounter signs that you’re in a toxic relationship.

From gaslighting to guilt trips, we’ve got you covered. Listen now, and enjoy the benefits of positive relationships as you progress on your wellness journey!

Peace, love, and light, dear friends.

A theme that seems to be coming up a lot lately is the idea of taking up space, or - more to the point - NOT taking up space. Taking up space means recognizing your right to exist, have opinions, speak without apologizing, pursue your own goals, and have a body. Taking up the space you deserve, and having your voice heard, is particularly a problem for women.

But men - don’t change the channel - it’s important for you to hear this content! 

As women, even when we believe we deserve to have a voice, to have support, to be in the room, to have a seat at the table, we don’t always claim it. We make ourselves smaller, we apologize for our opinions, we sacrifice self to make others more comfortable.

But we’re not doing that any more! Today’s episode has the 10 tools you need to claim the space you deserve.

The amount of space you take up in all aspects of your life has an impact on people’s perceptions - but more importantly, it has an impact on how you feel and how you own your voice. 

When you practice taking up space, you’re telling the world you matter. You’re showing people what you deserve and how you expect to be treated. If you aren’t sure where to start, or if the whole idea of taking up more space feels scary, here are 10 small acts of space-taking, for you to practice in daily life.

Ask yourself:

Where are you not taking up space in your life, but you need to?

What is one thing you hate doing that you could outsource, and then have time to do something where your presence would really make an impact?

Step out, play big, advocate for yourself! 

It might feel uncomfortable at times, but do it anyway.

Today’s episode is all about the little things you can do in a day to improve your wellbeing. We’re going back to basics because wellness doesn’t have to be complicated, nor is it one size fits all, so pick and choose the little acts that most resonate for you.

True change happens in small moments of pausing, reflecting, and consciously choosing. In the moment, it might seem small – but what is happening inside you is profound! You’re slowly but surely cultivating a new way of being. You’re directing your brain to replace old patterns and instincts with new ones that are more aligned with your values, hopes, and goals.

Welcome to Soul full of Wellness, the multi-generational podcast brought to you by two functional imperfectionists (and certified coaches) who deliver tips to live your most authentic, balanced, and anxiety-free life.

Keeping both the mind and body strong is key to living a happier, healthier life. Mental and physical health are interconnected and can impact everything from how we feel to how we navigate life. To support you in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, we invite you to follow, rate, and review.

We know that making healthy choices can help us feel better and live longer. Maybe you’ve already tried to eat better, get more exercise or sleep, drink less, quit vaping, or reduce your stress level.

It’s not easy. But research shows how you can boost your ability to create and sustain a healthy lifestyle.

In today’s episode we’re sharing 5 tools to help you realize the healthy behavior changes you desire! Make Better Choices Easier.

It’s frustrating to experience setbacks when you’re trying to make healthy changes and reach a goal. The good news is that decades of research shows that change is possible, and there are proven strategies you can use to set yourself up for success.

Many of the things you do day-to-day impact your health and quality of life, now and in the future. You can reduce your risk for the most common, costly, and preventable health problems - such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and obesity - by making healthier choices.

You’re never too out of shape, too overweight, or too old to make healthy changes. 

Things may not go as planned, and that’s okay.

Try different strategies until you find what works best for you.

Change is a process. What’s most important is to keep moving forward.

Today we’re talking about burnout… as in how to heal burnout or - better yet - how to prevent it in the first place.

Today’s episode came about as a result of the workplace wellness workshop, part of Soullfull Inc’s corporate wellness offerings, that we led just this morning. This was a truly enlightening experience.

We had two dozen over-extended sales professionals each creating a personal wellness wheel, to allow them to see which area to focus on next, to achieve the most wellness gains in the next 3 months. It became evident that we’re all struggling with some degree of overwhelm right now.

So today we’re giving you six concrete tools to get you through the tough times.

These Soufull tips & shortcuts will allow you to honor yourself during the busy or stressful seasons in your life.

Fellow im-perfectionists, you don’t have to strive to be the best version of yourself at all times. We all go through seasons when we need to take some shortcuts, do the minimum, heal, recharge, and move forward.

Let’s be honest, perfectionists are overthinkers. Sometimes we’re on autopilot when it comes to our thought patterns. We believe it’s only natural to pick apart every single potential outcome of a situation or spend hours on end talking in circles with someone. We get hung up on any little decision, which leaves us feeling worse than when we started. 

Today, we’re here to help you, our fellow im-perfectionst, identify when you’re overthinking, we’ll discuss tips to help you let go of unhelpful, old patterns and give you 3 new tools to help decision-making, so you can live your life to the fullest!

Are you ready to “level up” your life? In today’s episode we discuss 5 ways your brain tells you that it’s time to make a change, what it feels like, what it means AND, most importantly, what you can do to be healthier, happier, and feel better about your life!

Are you staying in a less-than-ideal situation for too long because it seems easier than making a change? Do you find yourself saying, “I really need to…” about your job, your relationship, your diet, your sleep habits, your workout routine, your self-care practices… about any area of your wellness wheel? This episode is for you!

As we walk you through 5 ways your body and brain signal that you’re ready to make a change, we talk about:

• Tapping into your intuition
• How a “pull” can feel stronger than a “push” when it’s time to move on
• Why getting started is hard & what to do about it
• Getting clear on what you want, what you need & what you deserve
• Happiness
• Motivation
• Creativity
• Time for yourself
• Getting clear on the details of your desires

Questions to ask yourself:

• If you knew the answer would be yes - what  would you do with your life?
• How do you show up for yourself?

Write a list of what you love:

• What hobbies do I have?
• What leisurely activities do I enjoy?

“The mind is everything, what you think, you become.”  - Buddha

Today we’re talking about how you can get everything you want in your life by going from a scarcity mentality to an abundance mindset. Stephen Covey initially coined these terms in his best-selling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. And we’re digging into how we can let go of making fear-based decisions and instead learn how to live our juiciest life with an abundance mindset.

We’ll talk about what scarcity mindset is, how you can identify if you're living in it, and of course we’ll dive into abundance mindset, how you can adopt it, and why living in abundance will change your life for the better.

Scarcity mentality refers to people seeing life as a finite pie, so that if one person takes a big piece, that leaves less for everyone else. A scarcity mentality is what keeps many of us from achieving our goals.

Why do we think this way? Most of us have been conditioned into a scarcity mentality. Only so many students get accepted into your #1 college… one person gets the job, the promotion, etc. 

The Law of Abundance says you can have all that you want. An abundance mindset refers to the paradigm that there is plenty out there for everybody. There’s quantitative research to back this up. We’ll reference specific studies.

An important component of living from a place of abundance is a willingness to make wonderful things happen for yourself. Yes, you can “manifest” what you desire, but it’s important to note that’s different than a fairy godmother who magically grants wishes so all your dreams instantly come true.

How can we make the shift from a scarcity to an abundance mindset? Listen now to find out!
