1. We discuss a 5-Minute Mental Health Check. It’s not only about feelings and mindfulness. Have you also stretched, eaten healthy, had enough sleep and been nice to yourself and others? 2. We interview Eric Davis [Physical and other areas of wellness]. Eric started taking martial arts to get his weight under control. He didn’t think he’d enjoy gym-type workouts. He wanted to learn a new skill. He got so much out of it. A key lesson was to show up on days he didn’t feel like going to the dojo. He always felt miles better after he left. He never regretted dragging himself out of the house to the dojo. It also taught him discipline. Activities such as sparring, practicing or grappling with others forced him to be present in the moment, leaving his busy work life, concerns, worries and stress behind him for a while. The ability to change the mindset can be very useful. 3. Starving Artist – Cameron went to his first concert 15 years ago – City and Colour. It inspired him to learn guitar. He saw the group again, now that he’s a professional musician. 4. Move that Body – Sheila’s biking to work. John’s walking to work. They’re both loving using their bodies to start the day. It also inspires them to do more to help the environment. 5. Running Popup – John got a message from a colleague and recognized there are some people we meet who we trust and believe in from the start, even if we can’t say why. 6. Flipside – how can we harness the passion of you together with the wisdom of age? How do we avoid the inclination to run out the clock?
