Hello everyone and welcome back.

00:00:17.935 --> 00:00:28.548
I'm your host, dr Quentin Moore, and I'm thrilled to bring you another edition of Motivational Monday as we embark on the journey of 2024.

00:00:28.548 --> 00:00:39.107
This is the perfect time to set the stage for a year of transformation focusing on both your mental and physical well-being.

00:00:39.107 --> 00:00:50.786
Now, as the dawn of a new year unfolds, let's take a deep breath and ask ourselves what are our plans for 2024?

00:00:50.786 --> 00:00:55.347
This isn't just about resolutions.

00:00:55.347 --> 00:01:03.201
It's about setting intentions that align with the best version of ourselves Today.

00:01:03.201 --> 00:01:11.605
Let's explore the power of intention and how it can sculpt our mental and physical landscapes for a better you.

00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:17.549
First and foremost, let's talk about mindset.

00:01:17.549 --> 00:01:24.631
The way we approach our goals and challenges profoundly influences our journey.

00:01:24.631 --> 00:01:35.149
Instead of imposing strict resolutions, as I stated on the last podcast, consider setting intentions that serve as guiding lights throughout the year.

00:01:35.149 --> 00:01:42.932
Intentions are like the North Star, you know, pointing us toward the life we want to live.

00:01:42.932 --> 00:01:55.611
Whether it's fostering gratitude, embracing positivity or cultivating resilience, these intentions can be the driving force behind a transformative year.

00:01:55.611 --> 00:02:01.185
Now close your eyes.

00:02:01.185 --> 00:02:15.489
If you're able to and visualize your ideal self, both mentally and physically, what habits and practices can help you become that person?

00:02:15.489 --> 00:02:22.491
All consistent actions lead to significant results.

00:02:22.491 --> 00:02:29.891
So let's think about the daily routines and rituals that will propel us toward our aspirations.

00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:40.502
One powerful aspect of a holistic and healthy lifestyle is the intricate connection between physical and mental well-being, or wellness.

00:02:40.502 --> 00:02:45.349
Your body and mind aren't isolated entities.

00:02:45.349 --> 00:02:47.215
They work in tandem.

00:02:47.215 --> 00:02:54.792
Consider incorporating activities that not only get your body moving but also nourish your mind.

00:02:54.792 --> 00:03:10.716
It's about finding a synergy that resonates with you, whether it's the rhythmic tranquility of daily walks, the balance and flexibility of yoga, or the calming influence of mindfulness practices.

00:03:10.716 --> 00:03:13.227
These are not just exercises.

00:03:13.227 --> 00:03:15.751
They're investments in your well-being.

00:03:15.751 --> 00:03:24.426
So let's look deeper into the fusion of physical and mental wellness.

00:03:24.426 --> 00:03:27.632
Daily walks, for instance.

00:03:27.632 --> 00:03:32.558
They do more than just burn calories.

00:03:32.558 --> 00:03:42.187
They offer a chance to disconnect from the digital world, and it allows us to reconnect with nature and our thoughts.

00:03:42.187 --> 00:03:45.858
Consider turning them into a mindful practice.

00:03:45.858 --> 00:03:57.426
You know paying attention to the sensation of each step Listen to the rustling of the leaves, or just feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin.

00:03:59.109 --> 00:04:00.110
How about some yoga?

00:04:00.110 --> 00:04:07.145
When it comes to yoga, it's not just about striking a pose.

00:04:07.145 --> 00:04:10.334
It's a journey of self discovery.

00:04:10.334 --> 00:04:20.517
Yoga provides an avenue to build strength, flexibility and resilience, not only in your body, but in your mind as well.

00:04:20.517 --> 00:04:30.319
The intentional breathwork and mindfulness woven into yoga practices creates a holistic experience that transcends the physical.

00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:45.754
And for those who believe yoga is a breeze, well, you might want to reconsider, because it engages the entire body and as you advance, it cultivates strength throughout.

00:04:45.754 --> 00:04:55.031
And let's not forget the incredible impact of mindfulness practices.

00:04:56.473 --> 00:05:03.372
Mindfulness is a practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment.

00:05:03.372 --> 00:05:14.264
It involves being fully aware of your thoughts, feelings and surroundings and allowing you to cultivate a sense of clarity and focus in your daily life.

00:05:14.264 --> 00:05:27.413
Essentially, it's about being consciously present and engaged in each moment, whether through meditation or simply being present in your daily activities.

00:05:27.413 --> 00:05:32.088
Mindfulness nurtures a sense of awareness and mental clarity.

00:05:32.088 --> 00:05:40.793
It's about carving out moments of stillness in a world that often moves too fast, and we all experience this on a day to day.

00:05:40.793 --> 00:05:56.427
Find what resonates with you, and whatever it is be it guided meditation, mindful breathing exercises or simply savoring a moment of silence and go for it.

00:05:58.670 --> 00:06:03.535
So here's the challenge for 2024.

00:06:03.535 --> 00:06:13.692
Find that activity, that fusion between physical and mental wellness that speaks to your soul.

00:06:13.692 --> 00:06:16.315
Make it non-negotiable.

00:06:16.315 --> 00:06:22.391
It's not just a part of your routine, it's a commitment to yourself.

00:06:22.391 --> 00:06:32.598
Prioritize it as you would any other essential aspect of your life because, in the end, your well-being is non-negotiable.

00:06:32.598 --> 00:06:45.889
