How To Rest Like A Champ – S5EP008

Today's world is all about that hustle. Go! Move! Faster! More Productive! Bigger! Better! Ugh. It makes me feel ill. Fuuuuuuck thaaaaaaat. I'm all about that REST.

So today I delve into why rest is so important, some different ways it can look (hint: not just sleep/naps), and HOW to Rest Like A Champ. Get this episode in your earholes, stat.

Are You A Future Thief? – S5EP007

I was driving home from the beach earlier this week, and something I saw made me think about the choices we make each and every day, and how they impact our future selves. We make choices to STEAL from our future selves. All. The. Time. But WHY? What motivates us to make those choices? What are the consequences of those choices? How can we stop this harmful practice and make better choices that support our future selves instead? Take a listen. It's all in here. With love and gratitude, Israel. xo For all the Show Notes, Links, and a Full Transcript, visit the episode page here: https://israelsmith.com/podcasts/s5ep007/ [https://israelsmith.com/podcasts/s5ep007/]

Why You Need To Have Your Own Back – S5 EP006

As I was saying a few episodes ago [https://israelsmith.com/podcasts/s5ep003/], change is constant, and is going to happen to us ALL the time. We have no freaking idea what life is going to throw at us from one moment to the next, and we swim in a pool of almost complete uncertainty almost all of the time. So how to we manage that? How do we consistently show up for ourselves and the people we care about in life? How do we learn to be better at our emotions, moods, energy, and handle the varied and challenging circumstances we get handed each new day by good ol' life? We learn to Have Our Own Back. That's what I get into today. What I mean by that statement, why it's so important, and crucially HOW to get started having your own back. Have a listen, learn what it means to have your own back, and let me know how this helped you.
