Important Self-Care Lessons from One of the Pros

Life is hard, and then you die. Or at least, that’s what David Gerrold said about it. I take the view that hard times can be dealt with serenely, and even gained from. That’s what I talk about in the first part of this show, when I read my essay, ‘How to Talk Yourself Out of a Funk’. Cause, yeah… there WILL be funks. Then on to something a little more upbeat. I had the incredible privilege of sitting down with Something You Should Know podcast host Mike Carruthers. He’s done more than 5000 shows – yes, you read that right—with all kinds of bona fide experts on all aspects of wellness. (No pretenders or ‘gurus’ allowed!) And the result is that he has some remarkable insights and ideas to share for us. Talking to Mike, I learned: The primo piece of advice he’s been given Some of the key truths Mike learned on diet and exercise (surprising stuff here!) What ‘Lifestyle Creep’ is and why it matters so much Whether he sees an overall shift in human consciousness What Mike has learned about memory and how suggestible we are See below for links to some of the books and authors Mike referenced, as well… Stay well and stay nurtured, friend. I love you!
