From resistance, to negativity or mindfulness, meditation can be a useful tool to deal with these. We also chat about how you might be unconsciously training your mind to NOT FOCUS, cues for what to actually do (even if you only have 5 minutes) and why we shouldn't ignore negative thoughts.You're going to love this episode, especially if you already have a meditation practice or looking to get cracking.

If you're someone that finds gratitude hard or as though you get a mind blank when it comes to crunch time, then this is for you. Also, if you haven’t really thought about how or why a practice of it might feature in your life, then you're also going to get a lot out of todays pod! We all know the benefits of gratitude so I'm not here to restate them, rather share my own personal challenges & break throughs with it. I dive into two reasons why our society has conditioned us to NOT be grateful, but disclaimer, once you hear these, it's up to you to undo the hard wired damage, and think with a grateful heart moving forwards!I talk about the dissatisfaction loop and end on 4 easy tips on how you can start practicing gratefulness right now (and no you don't need to allocate 35 minutes everyday with your eyes closed, it's easier than you think)!Host: @erikadpelle @thebalancetheorySponsor: ES FIT @esfit__ / www.esfit.com.auBook Recommendation: Thanks A Thousand: A Gratitude Journey (TED Books) A.J.

Today I chat with Tommy, co-founder of La Cure and wellness enthusiast. We start diving deep into Tommy's moment of truth - where he was forced away from a career he thought he would pursue, followed by an accident which landed him in jail, to a completely revised outlook on life and purpose. This time gave him the opportunity to do the inner work and develop habits that still help him in tough moments today.We also deliberate over why men's mental health is less spoken about, the benefits of cold exposure (especially if you're someone who hates the cold), meditation and all things recovery. Infrared or traditional sauna? When to do cold exposure? What's a float and why should you do it? This and more answered from the recovery man himself.Connect with Tommy more on IG @tommykerrr17.
