Deep dives
The Journey to Holistic Healing
Sif Hayter shares her transformative journey from struggling with chronic illness to embracing holistic healing methods. Initially reliant on conventional medicine, she faced numerous health challenges, including recurrent infections and a fractured rib due to an untreated cough. The turning point for her came when she began researching natural remedies, leading to improvements in her immune system and overall health. This experience underscored the importance of being open-minded and proactive in seeking alternative forms of wellness.
The Challenges of Starting a Business
Sif discusses the hustle of launching her wellness company, Array, while balancing full-time jobs with her husband. They managed their time by dedicating their evenings and weekends to the business, even packing orders late into the night. This phase required immense dedication, as both were navigating the demands of their respective careers while also laying the groundwork for their entrepreneurial venture. Through these early challenges, Sif highlights the lessons of perseverance and adaptability as integral to their success.
Stress Management Techniques
Sif emphasizes the necessity of stress management in her busy life, implementing a dedicated 'parasympathetic day' each week for self-care and relaxation. On Sundays, she avoids social plans and focuses on activities that nourish her mind and body, such as deep cleaning and enjoying soothing music. This structured day allows her to reset and lowers her stress levels, resulting in improved mental clarity for the week ahead. By setting such boundaries, she effectively prioritizes her well-being amidst a chaotic schedule.
Nutrition and Exercise Insights
Sif highlights the significance of dietary choices, particularly the importance of increasing protein intake to enhance energy levels and overall health. By adjusting her meals and ceasing intermittent fasting, she was able to fuel her body more effectively. In addition, she has embraced strength training as a vital part of her fitness regimen, recognizing its benefits for longevity and functional body composition. These lifestyle changes reflect her commitment to holistic wellness, focusing on lasting health rather than short-term fixes.
The Power of an Abundance Mentality
Sif discusses fostering an abundance mentality as a crucial element in her personal and professional growth. This mindset encourages celebrating others' successes instead of succumbing to jealousy, allowing for a more supportive and positive atmosphere. By reflecting on her feelings and reactions to others' achievements, she learned to channel that energy into motivation for her own goals. Recognizing gratitude for what she has while aspiring for more has been a transformative practice in her journey.
