Listen Later

In a captivating conversation, life coach Joel Elston and host Walt Thiessen delved into the profound importance of self-care and emotional well-being. Their dialogue was a poignant exploration of the challenges we face in maintaining our mental and emotional resilience, and the transformative power of intentional self-care.


As Joel shared his annual pre-election "sabbatical" from social media, Walt was struck by the wisdom in this practice. "I was kind of noticing today. I was I worked through the day. I was doing stuff that I enjoyed. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't this wasn't drudgery or anything like that. I was doing stuff that was kind of fun. I was actually working on a novel that I've been putting together, putting on finishing touches and so forth. But even so, I didn't really take much of a break during the day, and I thought to myself, that's probably not so healthy."


Joel's response resonated deeply, as he emphasized the importance of simplifying life and setting boundaries with technology. "I like to simplify life has become complicated for a lot of you know, a lot of ways, and removing some of the stuff that just doesn't necessarily always serve me is just, I reevaluate every aspect of my life frequently, and that social media is a neutral usually, and if it dips into the negative, and then I want to get rid of it."


The conversation then delved into the challenges of trust and delegation in business, with Joel sharing a powerful story about uncovering payroll fraud in a client's company. This highlighted the critical need for vigilance and the importance of surrounding oneself with trustworthy individuals.


But the true heart of the discussion centered around the transformative power of self-care. As Joel shared his personal journey, Walt was struck by the profound impact of exercise and physical activity on emotional well-being. "It's not the only way to accomplish what you're describing, but one of my favorite topics is the topic of finding your passion. Yes, because that's really one of the best ways to do exactly what you're describing, to have a reason not just to get up, but to go do things and and, you know, pursue that passion in whatever way that you want to pursue it, because that does keep you going. It keeps you alive. It keeps you growing. It keeps you building. It keep it gives you confidence. It gives you connection to other people."


The conversation was a poignant reminder that true happiness and fulfillment come not from external factors, but from the intentional cultivation of our inner selves. As Joel and Walt navigated the complexities of emotional well-being, they left us with a powerful message: the key to unlocking our full potential lies in the simple, yet profound, act of self-care.
