500. The Physical Mountain of Self-Mastery W/ Mark & Catherine Divine

Catherine Divine is back on The Unbeatable Mind this week to delve into the concept of mastering the ‘physical mountain’--a term that refers to one’s journey towards physical health and fitness. 

Mark and Catherine delve into the idea that in order to unlock one’s full potential, it’s important to train not only the body, but also the mind and spirit. Got a busy schedule and don’t know how or where to incorporate fitness? Mark and Catherine share practical advice for how to do so. The power of small, consistent efforts—-what Mark calls “spot drills”----can’t be understated and can seem like a godsend for those leading hectic lives. Beyond the benefits of physical activity, the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and mental well-being is explored!

Key Takeaways:

• Time Management: Reframe physical activity as a cumulative activity and learn how to utilise ‘spot drills’ throughout the day. 

• Integration of Different Aspects of Experience: Realize the importance of connecting fully to life through bodily awareness and the interconnectedness of both physical and mental experiences. 

• Body and Mind as a Unified Construct: Listen to different philosophical perspectives on what the mind is and learn to create a mindful connection between physical and emotional states. 

• Training Balance and Recovery: Recognize the importance of recovery in forming a balanced training routine and discover how to integrate physical challenges with mental and emotional ones.
