Wellness Wednesdays: Leaving A Legacy, Monthly Weigh-In Review, Benefits of Collecting Health Data, Mental Health in the Black Community | #17

Note: We had some recording issues during this live broadcast so the audio will sound a bit choppy at times. We are working to ensure that our next episode returns to its normal quality.

Here's what I'll be covering in this episode:

1. Mindful Moment - I guide us through three rounds of deep breathing and a breath-counting practice. Immerse yourself in the power of the present moment and strengthen your mindfulness skills through these transformative techniques.

2. Mindful Reflection - We delve into the thought-provoking prompts from the Balance Period Newsletter: "What's the one thing I'd like others to remember about me at the end of my life?" Explore profound insights and embark on a self-reflective journey to leave a lasting impact on the world.

3. Check-In - I offer a comprehensive view of my monthly weigh-in data from my FitIndex Scale. I discuss metrics such as body weight, BMI, body fat, subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, body water, skeletal muscle, muscle mass, protein, and metabolic age. Discover the trends and changes observed in my body weight and muscle mass, and understand the significance of measuring and monitoring our health data. Learn how these insights can guide us in making informed adjustments to our habits for better overall health.

4. System Updates - I introduce the newest addition to my Sustainable Self-Care System: blue light-blocking glasses by WHOOP. I'll be sharing the impact of these glasses on my recovery as I track their effects over the next couple of months. Stay tuned for insights and updates on how this innovative technology contributes to my well-being.

5. Resource Review - I explore the featured article from the Balance Period Newsletter: "Mental Health in the Black Community." Together, we uncover ways to access the care and support needed to optimize mental health within the Black community. I also share my experience with overcoming barriers I faced when seeking mental health services.

Intention: My desire is to create a space where we learn, grow, and create generational wellness together. If you have any questions you would like answered on the show, email me at ray@balanceperiod.com

Remember to be patient with yourself, and kind to yourself because you don't have to be perfect to be great 🙏🏾
