Align Podcast

Do you become a crockpot of stress when stuck when driving or traveling? I’m guessing your answer is yes, and that’s why in this episode of the Align podcast, I break down my bullet proof principles for ameliorating these situations. You’ll learn how to align your travel to become healthier and more optimized when sitting in a car, airplane, bus, or train. I know when you apply these principles, you will successfully turn commute and travel into opportunities rather than a way of martyring yourself to get form place to place.   It’s fascinating how deeply associated our physical patterns are with the way we think, the way we feel, and the way we perceive ourselves. When we are in the correct mechanical posture, it translates to how we act in the world. Since we spend so much of our time driving and traveling, it’s essential to improve our travel experience.    What you’ll learn:  The negative affects of driving and travel on your mind and body Correct posture for sitting in the car Quick adjustments to make to your car  How to do isometric workouts  The power of 5 minutes of movement  Random hacks for easing the pain of airplanes Find more from me:  @alignpodcast alignpodcast.com  

We live our lives in boxes–going from our box house, to our box car, to our box office, just to go back to our box house. The boxes our society and culture have created for us cause us to live with such seriousness. Rarely do we move our bodies naturally and rarely do we allow ourselves to just be silly. It’s this seriousness and lack of natural movement that robs us of our health and happiness, and decreases the quality of our lives. In this episode of the Align Podcast, JP Spears and I have a conversation about how making simple changes like correcting our posture, being more playful and paying attention to our breath is the secret to our healing. JP Sears is a YouTuber, comedian, emotional healing coach, author, speaker, world traveler, and curious student of life.  He is dedicated to empowering people to live more meaningful lives, as well as encouraging healing and growth through his humorous and entertainingly informative videos. Tune into the full episode for our deep thoughts, actionable advice and life-changing tips.    What you’ll learn: Breathing techniques How posture has a direct effect on mental health What happens to your body when you don’t use it to its fullest  How to perfect your posture and mobilize your body Why babies have perfect posture and what happens to it over time Why you need to be in relation to gravity and not fight it The effect playfulness has on your nervous system The different types of playfulness and how you can incorporate each one into your life How to get to the root cause of your seriousness How living more like a kid will change your life    Find more from JP:  Instagram: @awakenwithjp Twitter: @awakenwithjp Youtube: Awaken with JP Website: awakenwithjp.com
