Happy New Moon in Pisces! For today’s episode, I want to share something really simple you can do to improve your life. Well… to be more accurate, it’s more like stop doing it. I want to talk about the news and why you should quit watching it. That’s right. Don’t give the news any more of your precious attention!
I think of wisdom as the combination of knowledge plus experience. I feel like as a culture we are very much moving away from half of that equation. We are quickly becoming a culture that values knowledge far more than it values experience. It’s like the old adage, “in theory, there’s no difference between theory and practice.”
We have lots of ways to measure health in our modern medical system. It’s been great for quantifying health problems. But there is something that I think is grossly overlooked in our modern health system. It’s one simple question… “Are you happy?”
This episode is really a recap of 2021. I’m so amazed at what Lauren and I have accomplished this year and I hope our story inspires you to get out there and go do the things that bring you joy and create the life you’re dreaming of!
I consider there to be three aspects when it comes to health. There’s the physical, the mental, and the emotional. Problems in one area almost always create issues in the other two. The problem is that we’ve developed a system that only focuses on one area at a time. What’s often needed is an approach that addresses all three to ensure meeting your health goals.
Our body is constantly telling us what it needs and what to avoid. If we listen, we’d almost always be better off. The human body is an incredibly sophisticated thing. Unfortunately, we’ve spent a lot of our lives learning to ignore what it’s telling us.
Let’s talk a little bit about the signals we all often overlook and why overlooking these signals can lead to big problems!
Today is bit of a guerrila podcast. I’m once again stuck in Virginia. But the new moon is here and so is today’s episode! This episode let’s take a quick look at anecdotal evidence. We’re not talking about the stuff gathered placebo, double-blind, controlled lab experiments here. This is good old fashioned experience and observation evidence.
There is no shortage of experts these days. There are experts everywhere and on everything. We have more access to experts than ever before in human history. But how should we interact with experts? What should our relationship be with them? What really is an expert!?
Our brain has elevated us to the most sophisticated critters on the planet! Well, that’s what we believe. We have held our brain in such high regard, we’ve used it as justification for all kinds of behavior. Much of it trying to prove our conquest over nature.
Entertainment… It’s satisfying to get home from a long day, plop down on the couch, and flip on the tube isn’t it? I think it definitely has it’s time and place. But what is entertainment doing to your creativity? Not that long ago, entertainment was a bit of a luxury and people had to entertain themselves.
