Inner Shift - Integrative Therapy & Yoga

A day feels entirely different when our calves, hips and shoulders are loosened up before spending a whole day in a chair. Before spending hours cleaning a house. Before spending hours in a plane. Do yoga in the morning. Do anything to move.

Check your measurements.
Maybe things aren’t exactly where you want them to be. But how different are they from before? Have you changed at all? A little? A lot? Looking back in time— what’s the same, what’s different? What are you happy with, what are you less happy with? How can things continue to shift in your favour from here, going forward?

Comparison isn’t what it seems. It’s an underlying desire to understand our value in this world… to understand where we stand.

When we stand in our value, we lose the desire to compare. When we’re doing exactly what we love, comparison falls to the side.

For example, someone judges your sweater. You might feel that like “they don’t like me” (I am not valuable to them). But really what’s happening is they’re showing their character— it has nothing to do with you. To become immune to this, ask yourself: “do I love this sweater?” If the answer is yes, then that person is not aligned to your values in multiple ways. You can even reply “I fu***ng love this sweater”. That person will have no idea what to say next.

On long days at the office, don’t forget to reset your lumbar spine by lying on the floor with your legs up a wall like a goof for 10 minutes or so during your lunch break.

…maybe this is why my content isn’t that good.

Sometimes I just talk about themes from my therapy sessions, but mostly I share my practices for wellbeing.

Which of my content types to you like most?
- therapy topics
- spiritual philosophy
- yoga stuff
- personal practices for wellbeing
- I don’t like any of your content, you need algorithm training

(I won’t do it).

This is probably the most important podcast episode I’ve listened to in the last year.

Science is now starting to disprove the theory that mental health fluctuations are caused by “chemical imbalances” (as I’ve suspected for a long time that it would — I do feel the need to say that 😉).

The dopamine obsession is being debunked. It’s a thing, but it’s not the cause of the thing.

Calorie measuring is not healthy or effective.

The way to regulate our mental and physical health (including our chemicals and hormones!) is through our diet, our exercise, and our sleep.

This is annoying, because it means we have to read, learn, be responsible, go against urges and comforts and convenience — and above all, do battle against a system that prioritises sales over our health.

Years from now, things will be different. But right now, we need to rely on ourselves, our bodies, and our discernment to understand how to feel and be healthy.
