How calm do you feel on a typical day? Stress is something that affects us all and managing this response is vital to maintaining our health, especially now. In today's episode we go over what stress is from both an everyday & a physiological perspective. We then give a few highly practical methods for reducing stress that can be applied to everyday life, right now! (please bear with some sound issues this week) Link to Legs Up The Wall demo by Tessa https://youtu.be/B2S6iGjzbB4 www.theslowwellness.com

In todays episode we take a look at information from official sources which has helped to put this pandemic into perspective for us. In reviewing some of the data regarding covid 19 we try to cut through the headlines that have been confusing and aggravating the field of information. We touch on various relevant points relating to the current pandemic such as media bias & sensationalism, the importance of critical thinking in a time of polarization, and tapping into the parasympathetic nervous system to improve personal health. Also, we narrowly manage to avoid using the term "woo-woo".  

Today we get a little wacky as we respond to a request from an uber-fan. We provide some insights into the things that have helped us to cut down on food waste in the kitchen and dish out some tips that can help you to save money today. This is certainly no exhaustive list; instead we try to address the big rocks regarding mindset & actions that can put you on a better track in your own home.

Today I (Cal) fly solo with an episode about helping people to change and whether it's even possible?! I use both examples of somebody who is & is not ready for change to show what's feasible for you in helping them through that process. Here I give an introductory look at behaviour change, how communication might be going wrong and how to improve communication in the name of progress. Enjoy.
