An Invitation to Love Fully and Live Bravely

I was recently interviewed by a podcaster who sought me out after reading my new book, Wild World, Joyful Heart. An author herself, Valeria Teles is no stranger to an intentional journey toward well-being, health and joy. And Valeria’s questions dove straight into deep and profound topics around health, spirit, self-care and self-love. She is a great interviewer. You can listen to the episode on her Fit for Joy site HERE. 

This is a juicy discussion indeed. In addition to our dance of deep discussion and curiosity, there are many simple takeaways from our discussion—quick tips for health and joy in a Wild World such as these:

5 Simple Tips to Feel Better During Unsettling Times

1. Know that your actions, however small, matter. There’s a lot of change going on and many of us want to do our part. It can feel overwhelming. One small, consistent shift can create more change than a one-time event. Let’s keep the momentum going without burning ourselves out.
2. Feeling emotional? FEEL the emotions and provide them with a release valve like crying, exercising or being out in nature. As discussed in WWJH, pent up emotions wind their roots into your physical and mental well-being.
3. Take a technology/social media break. Daily technology fasts of 1-2 hours can be liberating and many are amazed at how good they feel with their personal technology devices in a drawer for a few hours. The great news is, you can release FOMO (fear of missing out) because all the info will still be there. Overstimulation can create feelings of jumpiness and irritation.
4. BREATHE. Several times a day, stop and take 3 breaths, breathing deeply as your belly and ribs expand fully. This invokes the Relaxation Response and gives your fight-or-flight system a much-needed break.
5. Prioritize self-care. It’s not selfish, it’s imperative for the health of you, and the health of society. Nourishing foods, movement, 7.5+ hours of restful sleep, and drinking plenty of water (80-120 oz/day). Mindfully seeking out positive input for your psyche like fun music, an up-beat podcast (like this one!), or reading something that supports you in feeling positive, happy and can-do.

We cover an incredible amount of ground in this delightful conversation. I hope you enjoy this discussion and would love to hear your thoughts! Feel free to hop on over to the blog and chime in.
