For this 21st episode I got Radha M. Patel on the phone calling from her parents house in the mountains of Wales.
Radha grew up in a Yoga family and was home schooled until the age of 11. Travel to India and exposure to a different life has made her very adaptable to changes in life and she loves to travel.
She describes her self as:
- Connected to nature and spirituality connected to something bigger, enjoys to light a candle or meditate
- Learning and teaching, hungry for knowledge, reading books.
- Learning with the goal to make it functional and help others. With a special interest in human behaviour, daily habits both physical and mental
- and chocolate is a very important part in her life too
So I got to ask here what chocolate she would be :-) Dark (70-80%) with Sea Salt and Caramel
The interview took place during the Corona Covind-19 crisis and we are all at home with limited freedom. Hence we got to talk about the chance to learn more about one self and create tools that can help us after all is over to have a better life.
Some of the tools we talked about are:
- Walking in Nature, such as forest or in the mountains.
- Taking a shower or a bath with essential oils
- Meditate
- HIIT workouts
- Watching inspiring movies
- Reading a good book
- Lighting candles
- Eating and drinking certain foods
- Journaling about the day
Journaling at the end of the day what worked for you and what didn’t; What made you feel good and what didn’t is a good way to find patterns and tools that can help you.
Where you feel energised is where you should put more time and focus.
Creativity is: Space. Having space to think, be and create without feeling hurried.
Things to help being creative are:
- Being in nature
- Listen to southing sounds, nature, rain etc.
- Good Sleep
- Food and water
- Stress (mental and physical)
- Gratitude
- Vision Board
- Try something you haven’t done before: e.g. New language, music instrument, drawing, hand craft etc.
- And be aware what you do. The activity during day, and consumed content gives the direction for your thoughts
Call for Action:
1) Go out in nature on a regular basis. It is scientifically and spiritually proven to make you feel better and less anxious
2) Try and find a way too deeply connect with yourself.
E.g. Take 5-10 min in the morning before everyone wakes up and in the evening after everyone sleeps for yourself. Sketch, do a mindfulness practice, meditate, read a book.
Get time for yourself
