The Health Bloke Podcast

In this episode I talk about the importance of happiness and what make you happy.  In today’s society too many people are living a life they ‘think’ they should live, rather than living a life they ‘want’ to live.   

Throughout this podcast I talk about the importance of establishing habits, good habits and setting a foundation for your future.  I also discuss the importance of creating a ‘personal’ formula that suits you.  One that is aligned to your goal/s, or to what you would like to achieve in your life and / or what you would like to be remembered for.  I also talk about the importance of establishing meaningful relationships on a personal level and touch on the synergy between good health and happiness.

I also discuss the four (4) main happy chemicals in our body, serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin and endorphins and way’s we can improve these ‘happy’ chemicals  by implementing simply lifestyle habits and talking action.Happiness and creating and or improving personal happiness is about being brave, being honest with yourself first and foremost, but it is also important to understand we are humans.  We all have ‘shit days’, we all suffer from stress, we all have lapses in our lifestyle habits / health, this is normal.  As humans we continually change yet the difference between those that believe and achieve and those that don’t are the strategies they implement to make sure they are consistent with their habits more often than not.During this podcast I also touch on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs or the key ingredients to happiness which is also a good opportunity for my audience to see what they rate as the key ingredients to happiness, because at the end of the day the #1 ingredient is life’s purpose.  What is yours….?This is a great podcast to share so if you liked this podcast jump onto iTunes, subscribe, share or leave a review.  For more information on The Health Bloke visit, www.torytrewhealth.com.au or connect on LinkedIn or Facebook, Tory Trewhitt – The Health Bloke or follow him on Instagram, @thehealthbloke & remember Help me, Help Others, Make Health A Habit or let’s be more specific, ‘Make Happiness a Habit’!

Today's podcast is all about YOU.  As you know I am passionate about helping people achieve success through health and this podcast is about taking ownership, being selfish and implementing plans to help you live a happier and healthier life. However, it is important that you as the individual takes ownership of the life you want to live.  The reality is know one else can think for you, know one else can do it for you, just you!  So grab a pen, a notepad and start planning your life.

Throughout this podcast I challenge you to think of three main points;

How can you think like a 'World Class Athlete' and identify what  are their personal traits / habits that they implement that might help you if you implemented them into your lifestyle,Start running your body like a small business.  Know your numbers (biometrics), understand your strengths vs. weaknesses, test and measure what you need to improve, to become 'profitable', &Become SELFISH.  Have the ability / capacity to say NO, start reframing your foundations.During this podcast I ask you to take control and encourage you to live more.  Less proving more living.  It's not the hours you work, your job title, your bank balance, the suburb you live in, the car you drive.  Implement "reverse role modelling" into your schedule.  I encourage you to establish courageous trust.  Only you know the life you want to live, don't let others dictate it for you.  Say have the ability to say "NO".  If it doesn't "add value", if it's not a priority, if it doesn't need to be done straight away, don't do it.

I also challenged you to spend 20-minutes per day on yourself for yourself.  Not on social media, FB, instagram, watching TV.  On yourself, reading, writing, listening to music, playing music, having FUN, reverse role modelling - unstructured play!

Embrace being SELFISH.  If you are happy first & foremost you are going to be a better brother, sister, spouse, partner, father, mother, friend, employee, employer.

We all deserve honesty and integrity, so does your body, both physically and mentally. Remember, life is easy...we just make it complicated.  Start living in the present, not the past, not the future, the present. 

Help me, Help Others, 'Make Health a Habit'.

This is an interesting podcast where I interview Andrew Jobling on the Topic, "Addressing Intellectual Wellness".  Andrew has had a colourful career starting out as a professional athlete (AFL footballer), to then becoming a very successful personal trainer, to then owning and operating a café that created nothing but debt, to now working as a full time author, having published 6 books thus far.  Throughout this podcast we focus on the importance of addressing 'Intellectual Wellness' and why this is the key to health, happiness and success. Andrew's also discusses the key learning's and skills that he has gained along the way and talks about the belief to continually trust yourself and never stop believing in yourself.

This podcast is really so much more than the topic states, "Addressing Intellectual Wellness" as Andrew has working in the health space for over 20 year as his passion for health and wellness is evident.  However, he continually refers to creating a mindset of wellness and believes that the key focus should be Intellectual Wellness, first and foremost the other dimensions can wait.

Other points we touch on throughout this podcast include;

Defining Intellectual Wellness,Everything we do, every action we take starts with a thought,Establishing your roadmap,The importance of persistence,The key ingredients required; COURAGE - BELIEF - FAITHOvercoming setbacks, &Focusing on Intellectual Wellness at an earlier stage.So if you are looking to improve your Intellectual Wellness or you would like to become an author this is a must download episode.  Alternatively share it with someone you think will benefit as there are so many key take home points about courage, belief, consistency, trust and faith.  This podcast is a lot more than "Addressing Intellectual Wellness" it is more of a personal development, inspirational / aspirational podcast.

Andrew believes that "the healthiest people are those that have a vision, have a purpose, they know what they want, what they are working towards, and they have a clear goal".

Throughout this podcast Joey talks about the importance of following your passion, believing in yourself, but more importantly being yourself.  Joey openly talks about the struggles he had in his early childhood, being bullied and having low self esteem and now expresses the importance of never suppressing your feelings. 

We discuss his journey, his mindset, his intrinsic motivation, including his personal growth and development strategies.  Joey constantly talks about the value of having a positive self esteem and believes it is important to make sure you do things your own way, following your own beliefs and values and not societies expectations.  We discuss how people judge you visually not verbally and Joey talks about one of his fantastic quotes, 'Being the Voice, not the Echo'.

Other points we touch on throughout this inspiring podcast include;

Social media (both the positive & negative aspects),The importance of having a strong support network (his girlfriend Diane),Developing resilience,Blocking out societies expectations,Overcoming setbacks, &Becoming 'Awake'.So if you are looking for a little bit of inspiration or motivation, then this is a fantastic podcast to download or share with anyone that might be suffering self esteem issues.  This is an impressive podcast and a great example of someone chasing their dream despite what others my think.

Joey finishes with his own quote. "I see life as a blank canvas that never runs out of space.  You can paint as much as you like on it or as little as you like.  I also see life as a tree that never stops growing.  You can nurture it and there are know limits to its growth or you can let it be and it will stay the same.  The choice is yours".
