The Importance of Understanding the Mind-Body Connection With Dr. Bal Pawa   Tune in to this powerful interview with Dr. Bal Pawa, a Physician, Pharmacist, TEDx Speaker and Author of the Mind-Body Cure Book.    Her insights highlight the importance of the mind-body connection and taking control of our health with practical advice. Join us as we uncover her own journey to healing that started with a tragic head-on collision that placed her in the hospital she worked in hours earlier but this time as a patient.  Being at the mercy of doctors and feeling vulnerable not only from the emotional grief of losing her baby but also from physical pain, she started her 7-year journey of healing.  Dealing with broken bones, collapsed lungs and relying on surgeons, neurologists, specialists, she was being attended to by the best yet she was not healing. What became apparent as missing in the medical system is a lack of  "patient involvement", the conversations about how much our mindset influences our healing.  Expanding on this, she left for Harvard Medical School to learn how to do counselling for mind-body.  The doctor there took a personal interest in her case as his research was based on the autonomic nervous system. Through this process and discovering her premise for her book, she learned to heal herself and returned to Vancouver to change the system of patient care.  Finding like-minded physicians, she opened an integrative clinic transforming the lives of thousands of people using the principles of mind-body medicine.  Her experience completely reframed the way she looks at the world, becoming more grateful and empowering not only herself but her patient in advocating for their health.  Our discussion sheds light on science-backed suggestions on how how to improve digestion, sleep, chronic stress and anxiety by following her REFRAME tool kit.   Learn more about Dr. Bal Pawa here: Website: https://drbalpawa.com/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/drbalpawa Twitter:  https://mobile.twitter.com/balpawa Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/DrBalPawa/ Instagram: @Dr.Bal Pawa   TEDx: https://youtu.be/qq0DBeFdDlM ——————————————————————   Extra resources for parents and kids:  💻 ONLINE SCHOOL → https://www.innerchampion.me/    🌐 WEBSITE → https://freewithin.me/   🎙 PODCAST → https://anchor.fm/freewithin   ——————————————————————  Follow me on social media!   Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/freewithin/?hl=en   Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/PureAtma   Pinterest → https://www.pinterest.ca/ranbirpuar/   Twitter → https://twitter.com/ranbirpuar ——————————————————————

Why It's Important To Understand & Express Your Anger   Earlier this week I shared a Rumi quote about anger.  "Anger is like a strong wind. It calms down  after a while, but lots of branches are already broken."  As I shared in that post, I picked that particular quote because I was feeling angry that day, and that is normal and natural.  The key, I find, is to be angry at the right time and at the right thing/person.  Some branches are meant to be broken, that's part of living a healthy life.  There are many ups and downs and it's up to us to learn how to self-regulate.    But so many of us are programmed to believe that anger is a "bad" emotion and that we should try to avoid it at all costs.  Perhaps the people sharing the program mean well but I believe they are confusing anger with violence, and they are two different things.  That's why in this week's episode I'm sharing some of the benefits of expressing your anger in healthy ways and how that can help you develop a better sense of self.   Tune in to join the conversation.

Tips On How To Have Fair Fights   In this episode, I'm sharing a number of easy to understand tips that you can apply right away to help you learn how to fight fair.  Contrary to the marketing messages being pumped out by the self-help world, your relationships aren't supposed to be all butterflies and rainbows.  That's not realistic and it can be harmful to you to set that as your target.   Relationships can, however, be harmonious and you can each learn how to disagree without shattering the foundation of your connection and you can each learn how to self-regulate.  Tension and disagreements CAN help you build your emotional and spiritual 'muscle' if you know HOW to use them in a productive manner.     Tune in to listen to the five tips I have on how you can learn to have fair fights.

Ground Yourself & Help Build Your Confidence With This One Small Shift   Most people are conditioned to plan ahead.  Sometimes it's a week at a time, sometimes maybe a month or even a year.  But due to the current circumstances, it's difficult to plan ahead.   The major challenge in losing those long-term plans is that you may feel like you don't have as much to look forward to.  You may feel like you're spinning your wheels.   That's why I have been recommending this particular tip so frequently lately.  It's a small, but mighty shift that can help you not only develop self-trust and reliability but also boosts your confidence.     Tune in to this episode so you can learn more.

How To Tune In To The Stories You Tell Yourself If you're feeling like you're in a rut, this week's episode is for you.  I'm sharing a technique to help you get unstuck.   If you follow my work, you know I try to do my best to share tips and tools in bite-sized pieces so you can try them out.  Low risk, high reward.  Not a bad formula, right?     It's usually our stories and programs that often make us feel like we are losing (or maybe even standing still and spinning our wheels).  The challenge is, however, that we don't know what that story is (necessarily) until we take the time to audit our thoughts.   I'm sharing an exercise that can help you figure that story out.  So listen to the end!

Why It's Important To Be Congruent With Your Feelings   Being congruent with your feelings means to be the same on the inside as the outside.  There's a flow.  An honesty.  Right now the energy around us feels very thick, and the best way to manage it is to learn to float above it.    Usually, we use our home environment as a dumping ground for our stressors, or bad moods, and we tend not to share as much of our "light" at home.  We believe we have to save that for where it counts - at work, or at school etc.  But it's the relationships you have at home that truly impact how you relate to the outside world, so it's an excellent place to practice being congruent.  Watch until the end because I'm sharing a practical and useful tip to get you going on sharing your successes and your wins in your household.

How to Avoid The Trap of Victim Culture & Build Resilience There's a beautiful balance that can be found between being honest and true about how you feel (being vulnerable) and building resilience.  But that's not necessarily what's being emphasized at the moment.  In fact, the focus, more and more, is on elevating victimhood.   Though we are in a transformative time, there's a danger of going too far into victimhood and we need to be mindful as we progress forward.    Because identifying with your victim story ultimately leads you to live from the outside in.  It's essentially a surrendering of power.  Giving your energy away to others to manage as they see fit.  Only they're not the ones that can create change for you.      Living this way sucks the life out of you.   When you get caught in the victim trap you are 100% reliant on other people and their perspectives.  It's hard to feel grounded or safe.  It feels like you are under attack.  You lose touch with yourself and with your inner guidance system.       In this episode, I also discuss the victim-aggressor relationship and how you can be both as they are two sides of the same coin.     It's a deep, thought-provoking conversation.  How would your life change if you could transform your victim story into a victor story? Listen now to join the dialogue.     PLEASE share this with anyone that you believe needs to listen to it.
