1 Topic - Mindset

1 Guest - Danny Lloyd

5 Unseen Questions

All live!

Danny's Questions were:

1. How would you define a healthy mindset?

2. What do you think cultivates/leads to a healthy mindset?

3. Do you have one specific time where you called on/discovered that your mindset is healthy perhaps not realising it until later?

4. Do you have a motto (statement) that you live by that illustrates your own mindset?

5, Is there something you tell yourself/remind yourself of when things are tough?

My guest for this episode is Danny Lloyd.

Danny was a fit & healthy ex-rugby player turned bodybuilder when at age 22 it (his words) 'went a bit wrong'.

He had a small stroke & suffered kidney damage as a result of a rare autoimmune condition known as APS.

It was treated/managed for years until it went 'very wrong' many years later.

Danny collapsed at home as a result of a major stroke that triggered a catastrophic APS event. This led to kidney failure, adrenal gland failure & then brain infections.

He was treated & had residential rehab where he had to relearn everything... He didn’t lose any cognitive function throughout so was/is very aware of his new limitations.

It took at least a year of hard work to be able to function independently again.

Danny says that he realised he had actually gained more than he had lost because he now values so much more about life.

Danny says

"I live life to the best of my ability & simply aim to be better today than yesterday".

1 Topic - Physical Health 

1 Guest - Charlie Beestone from CBNutrition 

5 Unseen Questions 

All live!

Charlie's questions were:

1.  Do you think Physical Health can be a stand-alone value, or do you think it is more important to have other values and understand that being physically healthy allows you to give your best to those other values?

2.  How do you bring your values into your awareness on a daily basis to ensure that your macro actions on a day-to-day basis are aligned to things you value, such as 'physical health'.

3. It's not uncommon for our values on physical health to differ from others.  What advice would you give to someone who wants to prioritise their physical health but might not get the support they want from friends and family?

4. How do you find the balance between knowing our values and making decisions that align with them, and then on the other side, encouraging trying new things, exploration, curiosity and all the things that we know are good for us as well?

Plus - How often do you reassess and reflect on your own values?

5.  We are often held back from better physical health by our own limiting beliefs. What can we do to remove those beliefs, or learn a different way of looking at things to change our behaviours?
