Words are Important

One of the key drives of our lives is to belong. To truly belong where we are known and accepted and respected, if not loved. We often mistake fitting in for belonging. We perform to fit in at school, at work, at church, or with family. And that’s the rub, we’re performing. We’re not being ourselves. And we don’t find true belonging. My expert on belonging is Ritu Bhasin, who is a global expert on diversity, equity, and inclusion and has worked with hundreds of world-renowned organizations to help guide people to becoming their authentic selves, which as you’re about to hear is step on in belonging. Ritu has been a professional speaker for almost 15 years and has presented to 100,000s+ people globally. Her book is called We’ve Got This: Unlocking The Beauty Of Belonging. We discuss the first step in belonging is belonging to yourself. And this is the hardest step. We talked long on what being authentic really entails, when almost all of us were taught to perform. We discuss the difference between being untrue to yourself and adapting to others out of respect and love. And we cover issues of personal credibility and how those who are marginalized in any way have more barriers to cross on the path to belonging, and how they can advocate for themselves.

You are driven by your values and today we discuss the value of feeling good, and we look at sleep. Think about this, everyday we must eat. But we can eat junk food and feel like crap, or we can eat wonderful, healthy food and feel great. It’s the same with sleep. Everyday we sleep, and we can do some things and get horrid, non-rejuvenating sleep, or we can do other things and get great, recharging and refreshing sleep. I’ve learned I can’t always judge my sleep on how I think I slept. Sometimes I’m out like a light, wake in the morning feeling ok, only to crash later in the day. And other times where I feel I tossed and turned some, I wasn’t ready to wake up when I did, but I had good energy for the day. This show is about the tangible habits we can employ to give ourselves a better chance of getting quality sleep. I’m talking with medical doctor, functional medicine expert and my close friend, Randy James. As we unpacked good sleep habits we were a bit surprised to realize just how many integers there are regarding our sleep. From the food we eat prior to sleep, to our mattress, to light and sound and even the topic of our last waking thought. What we thought would be a quick run through of our list turned into a much longer discussion and resulted in even us realizing just how many things can influence our sleep quality Head to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code KEVIN and depending on the model receive UP TO 39% off or UP TO $300 off!

I state we are all driven by our desires or our fears. Positively or negatively. In relationships, the same holds true and it’s explained and defined by our attachment styles. As a child you experienced attachment to others a certain way and this was your programming going forth for all relationships. Friends, this is immensely significant. You can quickly find out your attachment style and open a whole new world of understanding and opportunity for your life, from relationships to how you work to how you perceive your spirituality. I sat down for a long talk with Thais Gibson. Thais has become the authority on attachment theory and styles. She has a Ph.D. with nearly a decade of experience running a successful private practice and engaging with over 30,000 clients through individual sessions, workshops, and an educational platform. She created the Gibson Integrated Attachment Theory™, which unites traditional attachment theory, developmental psychology insights, and potent subconscious reprogramming techniques that are woven throughout the course material within The Personal Development School. Thais founded the Personal Development School when her private practice got fully booked with a 2-year waitlist. It quickly expanded to thousands of members and counting in 115 countries. The school has over 38 million views on social media. I encourage you to go to personaldevelopmentschool.com now and take the free Attachment Style quiz.

You might want to take the quick quiz before you listen to this so you can have a better understanding.  Head to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code KEVIN and depending on the model receive UP TO 39% off or UP TO $300 off!

This is a What Drives Your Health episode where we look to support your body, which everything you drive is dependent on. Let’s talk about why calories in vs calories burned doesn’t always work. You’ve likely been in a place of feeling like you are eating clean, not eating that much, you are exercising well, but still not losing weight, or not losing enough weight. You may even be gaining weight. In this episode we hit the reality that a calorie isn’t a calorie, but even further, any certain calorie may be fine for one person and not so much for another. The weight loss industry wants to give pat answers that everyone can simply follow, but they just don’t exist. Ultimately you must have some understanding of food and calories and your personal makeup in order to find a nutritional and exercise plan that gives you the results you desire. In this episode I’m joined by my friend, medical doctor and Functional Medicine expert Randy James and we strive to help you get a grasp on finding your ideal plan.

We all live with a life philosophy. We have guiding principles, beliefs, and expectations that influence everything we think and do. But most people are unaware of the philosophy they are living under and don’t realize they are being mindlessly guided to destinations, not of their conscious choice. You are most people. I am too, on any given day that we don’t stop and take captive what is going on, and decide and choose what we want to be going on. Following is a true story to highlight the point and help you actually grasp the opportunity before you.

It’s become a perspective in our culture that you are waiting for something to happen, so you can respond and become extraordinary. Our movies often show someone just existing through life, then all the sudden the world is going to end by a giant meteor or a plague and they rally to save themselves and others. Or they fall into a vat of chemicals or get bit by an insect and develop superpowers and a villain emerges. Zero to hero. We love the stories, but they permeate our culture and we start thinking that’s what life is. It isn’t. Most incredibly successful people had no big event that spurred them on. They simply looked around and noticed something they didn’t want, or they got an idea of something they did want, and they just started walking toward it. Drive is not found. It’s already in you and it’s just looking for a reason to get out. Head to airdoctorpro.com and use promo code KEVIN and depending on the model receive UP TO 39% off or UP TO $300 off!

This is the biggest myth I’m on a mission to dispel, that some people are driven and others are not. It’s a lie. And I want you to tell yourself and everything this good news. When you are on the couch binge watching shows and binge eating chips, it’s not because you have a lack of drive. When your kid wants to do nothing but play video games while your friend’s kid is a star athlete and valedictorian, it’s not because your kid lost the genetic lottery and has no drive. We all have all the drive we need. As much as anyone else. It’s only what is fueling our drive, and what destination we truly want, that’s in question.
