#11 Self Love

What if we chose to love ourselves just a little bit more today? What would change in your world?

Self Love is an unconditional acceptance and love for who you are – a regard and respect for one’s self and happiness. However, we tend to put a limit on how much self love we can offer ourselves. Like it comes across as self centered if we show ourselves too much love and respect.

In this podcast we talk about self love and why we fall from it. We talk about what we need to do to get back to it and then apply it to some examples and give you some tools you can use to grow and flourish in self love.

#10- Mental Health with PMDD

May is Mental Health Awareness month so today I am getting vulnerable with you as we talk about PMDD – Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder – a mental illness I was diagnosed with after 20 years of not knowing what was “wrong” with me. PMDD is a hormone-based mental illness that is an uncommon reaction to normal fluctuating hormones. It is not an imbalance of hormones nor is dictated by hormones, but a miscommunication within the brain, specifically the prefrontal cortex, that follows the luteal phase of a menstrual cycle – from ovulation until the period starts. Still such a new disorder with research coming out weekly! Only 2-8% of women experience PMDD and out of that percent only 3% of those have heavy and painful periods. I am that 3%.

I share with you my story and the details of what it is like to live as this illness comes around each month. What happens with in my body and also how the view of my world changes pretty much overnight. PMDD affects me two times a month – during ovulation and then again about 5-7 days before my period starts and lasts until my period starts. So between PMDD and a painful period, I get about 10 days a month feeling amazing. However, with lifestyle changes of diet, exercise, sleep, and planning, I have been able to minimize symptoms to live a good, healthy life and I am usually not crippled by its effects.

There is so much information about PMDD that I couldn’t fit it all into this podcast. If you would like to know more check out the site below or you can also drop me a comment below or email me at clarissa@adagiofit.com and I’d love to listen to your questions, comments, or concerns.

#09 – Six Dimensions of Wellness Part 4 – Emotional & Spiritual

The final part in our series on the dimensions of wellness. Today I am talking about emotional and spiritual wellness. We’ll take a look at some ways to see if you are thriving in these dimensions and what it will look like when you are. Emotional wellness is your ability to be aware of and accept your feelings,rather than deny them. It is having an optimistic approach to life, and enjoy life despite its occasional disappointments and frustrations. Spiritual wellness is a personal matter and really different for every individual. However it is generally considered to be the search for meaning and purpose in human existence. Spiritual wellness leads one to strive for a state of harmony and truth within our core but also harmony with others while working to balance both inner needs and the rest of the world.

I am offering a coaching class on Wednesday, May 23 of this month! This month the class is free too! If you want to read more about the class click below. It is the last week to sign up or it – I’d love to have you come!

#06 – Six Dimensions of Wellness Part 1

This podcast introduces a four part series about the six dimensions of wellness. Most people think that healthy is when they have no signs or symptoms of disease.  However, someone with no signs or symptoms of disease may not feel happy and enjoy living to its fullest. Sound familiar? You may be healthy but still have to drag yourself out of bed because you just don’t know what you’re doing in life – feel a numbness. Therefore we need to get to a place that we are growing and educating ourselves to reach a high level of wellness and zest for living because we feel empowered and motivated. This discussion teaches how to get a base line for where you are today in the six dimensions of wellness and then goes over how to make goals for those six areas to move up the spectrum and into optimal living.

The six areas of wellness we will focus on are – physical, occupational, intellectual, spiritual, emotional, and spiritual. In the next three podcasts we will discuss each area more in depth to help you figure out which one(s) may need some work so you can move from disease into a fullness of living.
