Yeah, they're just the starting place, really.
And what tends to happen for us, we tend to be disproportionately strong in one, but not in the other.
And what I find is the reason I put mind first in my world, it really is the most important, because the mind is the instrument built into this body-mind system that allows us to experience life and navigate life.
And if we haven't learned how to train and develop our mind,
Most of us have a mind that uses us rather than us using it.
So it's conditioning, it's programming is in charge of our habits and behaviors.
So when you know how to consciously work with your mind and the most common practice for that, of course, is mindfulness.
where you're able to access present moment awareness and from that place then you can decide whether you want to believe your thoughts and stories or not but there's choice there right and so we're creatures of habit so i often say it starts with mind you're going to learn how to use your mind i'd love to share with your listeners some fundamental tips for that because that's
really where I think most people struggle.
You've got to know how to work with your stress, regulate your nervous system, and really importantly, nurture and deepen your level of happiness because we are privileged to be on this planet, to have the life that we have.
And sometimes it's so easy, of course, to get caught up in the pursuit of success and this and that.
And actually being able to cultivate your happiness on a daily basis and really allow ourselves to enjoy the fact that we're living, that we're here, to appreciate the things we do have, to focus less on what we don't have.
These really are the fundamentals.
That's why mind comes up front.
Because if you dial that in and you're in charge of your mind, then you're much more likely to eat better, to sleep more deeply.
You need to take care of your body because you care about your body.
And then, of course, if you regulate it and your mind's working well, then it's so much easier to connect with others, to connect with nature, to connect with life.
Yeah, and I think most people, and I had to start with this, we've got to be able to take care of the inner critic, right?
So the inner critic is the part of the mind, we call the sub-personality.
whose function is to criticize, but really criticizes to keep us safe.
