SoulFull Wellness

It’s fall: the weather isn’t stable, but you can be!

Every season has its own energy and cycle, and we intend to go with the flow of fall and its theme of letting go. Today we’re focusing on releasing, turning inward, and reflecting.

What do you need to release to move forward on your wellness journey? 

We gift a meditation to help you focus on letting go, to be able to see what is, and to not worry so much about what may (or may not) happen in the future.

Listen now to harness to feel the energy of fall, ahed your baggage, shed what no longer serves you, and move forward carrying less weight. Journey inward for a beautiful new you going forward.

Your physical health directly impacts your mental health. We’re going back to basics as we transition from summer to fall. It’s time to check in, how are your wellness habits lately?

That’s a big question. Today we’ll break it down for you.

By the end of today’s episode, you’ll set a specific, personal goal that will immediately improve your wellness, and in the next 5 days you’ll feel mentally and physically better! 

Who doesn’t love that?

Kit & Kae did their wellness homework and share the results of their wellness wheel check-ins, their specific goals, and the results of their 4/5 day experiments.

Then it’s your turn, as Kit names each of the 9 areas (below) that comprise your wellness wheel, notice your reaction. Do you get excited and feel confident & competent? Do you think, “Uugh, not that one?” This gut-level reaction is information you need. Pay attention.

Wellness Wheel: Family Social/Friends/Community Movement/Physical Fitness/Exercise Sleep Relaxation/Joy/Pleasure Spirituality/Religion Work/Job/Career Lifelong Learning Nutrition/Food/Eating

Listen now as Kit & Kae unlock the key to living in perfect alignment.

You’re in luck, Soulful Society, this week you get a twofer! Here is our first double episode. We start and end in September 2021. In the middle we flashback to September 2020.

Today’s theme is how reflection helps you on your wellness journey. Even though coaching is a forward-focused process, we know there’s power in examining the past to find trends, see what has worked for you (and is therefore likely to help you in the future) and what hasn’t worked for you (and probably isn’t worth trying again).

You also get tools for adjusting to change, how to deal with hard things, and ways to release what no longer serves you. We reflect on the Covid induced changes over that last 18 months.

Here’s an episode outline to guide you:

** Journaling

Kae updates us on her 2020-2021 journaling practice

Kit continues to struggle with committing her deepest thoughts to paper

**Using mantras

I do not chase, I attract. What belongs to me will simply find me.

**Release what no longer serves you

What have you released this year?

Releasing expectations for post-Covid life, in particular the timeframe of how this pandemic will continue to affect daily life

**Sit with uncomfortable feelings

Name it & claim it

What did you sit with, even though it didn’t feel good but was helpful?

Something painful you “got through” this year?

**Playing the “what if” game

Let your mind go to the worst case scenarios to get the fears out. 

Then go to the best case, to explore the possibilities of change. 

Which scenario did real life wind up resembling more?

Are you grappling with the discomfort a transition brings? You’re not alone! 

Change is hard! We know. Sometimes the only way out is through, so we’re here for you. Listen now to learn new strategies for overcoming your immunity to change. As usual, the coaches will leave you feeling bolder, braver, and more in-control!

With Labor Day fast approaching... she's back! And this time we're talking about:

• Your self trust & internally defined value vs. workplace & education where value is externally defined
• Your sense of satisfaction, knowing, “I did a good job” vs. the insatiable feeling of searching externally for “enough-ness”

• Healing, progress, success, &  love with your own internal set point
• Developing a sense of community in the workplace
• Lack mindset is externally defined, looks at benchmarks & evaluations as a personal affront that determines one’s value as a person
• Abundance mindset looks internally, is internally defined, becomes about your relationship with others (not an attack on your self worth)
• Your relationship with technology

Who are you without the internet?

How’s your disaster plan?

• There’s love & truth in the shadows

• Re-humanizing the workplace experience: people are not wet towels, we can’t wring harder to get more output
• Are you more aware of recharging your cell phone than you are of recharging your body?
• How does one fuel the human body? 

Move 7-10 times per hour

Having blood flow awareness 

Fuel for the body: Movement, Food & water, Emotions & mental stimulation

• Machine mindset: do one thing, in a linear motion
• Humans need a control/reference point for mental & emotional stimulation to increase focus because our minds weren’t made to focus on only one thing at a time, so we add a secondary thing to help our mind focus on the one thing
• Humans flourish with interruption
• 55 minutes of one thing followed by 17 minutes of disengagement, rest & relaxation
• Isometric exercises you can do at your desk (that no one will know you’re doing) to increase blood flow & oxygen to your brain to increase productivity & profits up to 520% (Yes, you read that right!)
• What push notifications do to your productivity and what you can do to combat the disruptions 
• Strategic meditation: done first & for a purpose is an active form of meditation   
• How you do anything is how you do everything!
• Breathe, ground & be present - increases your productivity 120%
• Clarity & resetting for increased focus, creates a burst of energy

 “Mind Body Green Says Self Compassion is The New Self Care.” So this week we’re diving into self-compassion with signs you might be too hard on yourself and what to do about it. In this conversation, learn how to recognize your self critic, and how to break the cycle of unhelpful and negative thought patterns and behaviors to live more happily. Protect your peace by trying out being your own friend! 

Have you tuned into your needs lately? Self care has become a mainstream term, but today, your coaches are having a discussion about the definition of self care and why they think it's necessary that we broaden it. Good news, no need to search externally because self care is meant to be uniquely for you. Tune in to learn how to find out what self care activities are authentic for your wellbeing and implement them in your life. Let's prevent stress and overwhelm by focusing on what truly gives us wellness and relaxation.

Is anxiety part of your life? If so, this episode is for you! If you can honestly say no, someone you care about would say yes, so please forward this episode to them now. But don’t go anywhere, you still get to listen! Because this amazing approach works for your goals in other areas of your wellness wheel. Kit & Kae are re-sharing this strategy with you today because now, six months later, they’ve expanded its application. Trust us, you won’t learn this one anywhere else. Your hosts, SFOW listeners, and coaching clients have all implemented this tool and responded with glowing (and entertaining!) tales of success. From meeting “the one” to landing a dream job, no personal goal is too big for this approach. It’s one part manifesting, one part attracting, and two parts self-esteem building. It’s your turn - listen now to tap into your creative side, feel empowered, make new connections, conquer anxiety, build self-esteem, and crush your wellness goals! Thanks for listening!

Brené Brown tells us that the opposite of belonging is fitting in. True belonging never asks us to betray ourselves. In today’s episode, Kit & Kae unpack this concept of authenticity with regard to personal identity.

Personal authenticity is often defined as being true and honest with oneself and others, having a credibility in one's words and behavior, and an absence of pretence. Its meaning is then often clarified by contrasting it to inauthenticity, like comparing light to darkness.

Okay, but what does it even mean to be authentically you? How does this work, to show up as your most authentic self? How can you stay true to your authentic self, in all situations? How do you remain your most authentic self no matter what?

Think of all the different yous that all make up the whole you, including: professional you at work daughter/son or mom/dad you at home fun you for a night on the town artistic you during self-selected activity relaxation time And don’t forget about situational appropriateness. There’s a LOT happening here!

Listen now as Kit & Kae unlock the secret to living in perfect alignment.
