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

1. Mindful Moment - I guide us through 5 rounds of deep breathing followed by an awareness exercise to focus our attention on what we feel in the present moment.

2. Mindful Reflection - I answered last week's question from the Balance Period Newsletter: "What’s one topic I need to learn more about to help me live a more fulfilling life?".

3. Check-In - I share some updates on the current status of my mind and body and how my training program has helped me get more in tune with how I feel. I also discuss how I am balancing my time between training for the 50k and navigating this occupational transition by prioritizing proactive rest. I then talk about my current consumption habits and what educational resources I have been using to learn and grow. Finally, I discuss keeping curiosity and compassion top of mind as I interact with myself and others.

4. System Updates - I briefly give a preview of the new app I plan on downloading to support me in improving my circadian health.

5. Resource Review - I share the featured article from the Balance Period Newsletter: Burnout Recovery and Prevention - What to Do If You're Feeling Burned Out, highlighting some of the simple, sustainable ways to recover from burnout and prevent it in the future.

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 them to me at [email protected].

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