    Vital Habits for Steering Our Physical Vehicle Towards Wellness

    Wakeful Being kicks off a new series, “Happier & Healthier”, diving into the vital habits crucial for a balanced life. This series explores the intricate interplay between our physical, mental, and spiritual selves. Harmony amongst these three aspects of self is key to a joyful existence; a balance in one nurtures growth in the others, while an imbalance in one can disrupt our overall well-being. On the path towards our higher self, our physical instrument plays an important role in enabling us to ease into the symphony of life. This episode focuses on the importance of having a disease free physical body and how to keep it in sound shape. Regular exercise and a plant-rich diet are fundamental habits to cultivate for our physical well-being. Neglecting these habits can drastically increase our chances of disease. We'll explore the 'what,' 'why,' and 'how' of integrating these essential habits into your daily routine. This episode is more than an informative session; it's a call to action. We hope you leave feeling inspired to take control of your life and to shed complacency and laziness. The choices we make today, shape our destiny. We hope you embark on this journey towards a healthier and happier self, where every step taken is a stride towards a more wakeful you.
