How do you know when you're too old to be cool any more? Is it when you are being educated on social cues and relaying more on urban dictionary that on your social circles for information on pop-culture and new lingo? Or is it when you start wishing that you were younger than you really are? We're not quite sure, but we are sure that there are tensions that pull us apart either way. Perspectives and insight vary from generation to generation and our world is changing way too fast to keep up with half of the time. Hopefully this conversation can help in understanding a few differences we all share and how we can bridge this "generational gap" we keep hearing so much about all the time. 

PSA: You will hear some crackling in this episode, just a little though. That would be Tom and Gabe eating York Peppermint Patties. Please disregard. Thank you.

Now... I think we can all agree that our world is not exactly what it used to be about 6-7 months ago. There are simple things that many of us may disagree on that weren't an issue before. Perhaps its cause family gatherings to be more excitable, if they even happen at all. Cities and states are making masks and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) a necessity just to go out in public. "When will it end?", "Will things ever go back to normal?" And "What's the big deal anyway?" might be some of the questions you have either heard others ask or have even asked yourself. And although we don't have the answers, we can still talk about it and hopefully find ourselves having a little bit more grace for the situation we're all in. 

Our social health, or relational health, is often overlooked and left on the default setting when it comes to our overall sense of wholeness. Social media has its place and can serve a great purpose in our connectedness, but there is nothing like genuine human interaction. The problem however is that we are rarely, if ever, able to control the other person in any given relationship. This week we talk about what makes most relationships strong and how we can find balance in healthy and unhealthy ones. 

We've all got our own reasons when it comes to physical health, and it's probably pretty safe to say that most of us would like to be in a little bit better shape, eat a little healthier foods, and overall just have a little bit healthier lives. Our willingness and ability to manage our physical health will determine both our quality and quantity of time with those we love and admire.

These are crucial, pivotal moments in our planets history that we are living through right now. Our ability to handle and manage our emotional health will prove to me a major factor in the progress that we will see in both the near and distant future. 

We are always trying to make sure that our mental capacity stays well within it's limits. This can be tricky however, there are a lot of factors that go into our mental, and in this episode we really don't even do this topic justice as we try to get a grip on mental health, it's effects on us as people, and how we can improve it. 

Hey, Welcome to the Metaxis Podcast! 

This is our introductory episode to allow future listeners a “back of the book” read into what this podcast is all about.

We're just a couple of friends having conversations about the tension in our lives. Our heart is to help promote healthy conversations on wholistic living, balancing all aspects of our lives including Physical, Mental, Emotional, Social, and Spiritual Health. Our hope is that through conversations, some of you might be encouraged to also have these conversations with those you love and trust as well as take actionable steps towards a more balanced life.
