Unless we Find Time to Unplug and Reset, Our Collective Health Will Suffer

This is an interesting read from Benjamin Hardy about how our western society is headed towards a health crisis unless we learn to unplug and reset.  We are living frantic lives that are dictated to us by powers outside of our control, and the best way to regain control is to unplug and reset.  He cites "The Adrenal Reset Diet" book, where authors Alan Christianson M.D. and Sara Gottfried M.D. explain that unless we create the space to truly unplug, reset, refresh, and recharge — our body’s natural and evolutionary response is to store fat rather than burn it. Hence, it is projected that within the next 10 years, the majority of the global population will be over-weight to obese.

Even Small Moments of Intimacy Can Add Meaning to Life

In surveys, we list our close relationships as our most important sources of meaning. Research shows that people who are lonely and isolated feel their lives are less meaningful. In 1985, when the General Social Survey asked Americans how many people they’d discussed important matters with over the past six months, the most common response was three. When the survey was repeated again in 2004, the most common response was zero.  Despite increased social media permeating our lives, many surveys (including those mentioned in the article below) point to a disturbing trend of people not having significant social connection in their lives.  Psychologists have also discovered the value of small moments of intimacy.  These positive, short-term interactions between two people can be when a couple holds hands on a walk or when two strangers have an empathetic conversation on a plane.  https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/jan/15/friend-zone-why-we-all...

How to reprogram our subconscious

A podcast featuring  author  Bruce Lipton who says sometimes the reason it’s difficult to make lasting change in your life is because the thing you are trying to change contradicts the subconscious programming that you received very early on. His discoveries have shown that a person’s  perception , not genetic programming, is what spurs all action in the body: It’s actually our  beliefs  that select our genes, that then select our behavior. Our conscience is dictating our genetic makeup! https://thriveglobal.com/stories/podcast-habit-change-rewiring-your-subconscious-mind/

Action Has to Come Before Motivation

We need to take small and effective actions to be the fuel of the motivation train!  Action leads to Motivation. People wait for motivation to strike, before they take action. The feedback loop starts with Action, which motivates you, which leads to more action, which means you're more motivated to take action... :) https://www.getflashnotes.com/podcast/meaningful-show/action-%e2%86%92-motivation/
