Tapping Into Your Wise Mind

<p>In this episode of the <em>Bare Minimum Health Podcast</em>, we’re diving into the power of the pause — that small moment of awareness that can help you navigate cravings, whether for food or mindless social media scrolling. When you stop, take a breath, and ask yourself, "What do I feel?" you create space for your Wise Mind to step in and guide you to make choices that honor both your emotional needs and logical thoughts.</p><p><strong>Links Mentioned in the show:</strong></p><p>* Wise Mind article: <a target="_blank" href="https://samanthaholmgren.ca/wise-mind">https://samanthaholmgren.ca/wise-mind</a></p><p>* Anti-Inflammatory Path to Wellness: <a target="_blank" href="https://samanthaholmgren.ca/course">https://samanthaholmgren.ca/course</a></p><p><strong>What You’ll Learn:</strong></p><p>* How a simple pause can help you understand and manage cravings, rather than fighting or giving in to them.</p><p>* The balance between emotional and rational thinking when it comes to decision-making around food, work, and rest.</p><p>* How to avoid burnout by tuning into your body’s needs, especially as a spoonie or neurodivergent person.</p><p>* My personal experience of using the Wise Mind to balance rest and productivity — and how listening to my body has saved me from burnout.</p><p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p><p>* A tiny pause can unlock your Wise Mind — the place where emotional intuition and rational thought meet.</p><p>* Cravings are not just about food.

Sometimes, progress looks like resting.</p><p><strong>Reflect and Act:</strong></p><p>* Next time you feel an urge — to eat, to scroll, to push through exhaustion — pause. Breathe. Ask yourself, "What do I feel?"</p><p>* Notice how your body and mind respond differently, and explore how your Wise Mind can guide your next steps.</p><p><strong>Behind the Scenes:</strong></p><p>* How I used the Wise Mind approach in my work life recently, choosing to rest when I needed it and recovering more quickly than if I had pushed through.</p><p><strong>Question of the Week:</strong></p><p>* Have you ever felt torn between the need to rest and the pressure to keep going?

Managing Arthritis Flare-Ups: How to Adapt and Keep Moving Forward

<p>In today’s episode, I’m diving into the realities of living with arthritis and other chronic illnesses—specifically how seasonal changes impact my joints and what I’ve learned about adapting when my body isn’t cooperating. As the seasons shift, my hands become stiff, making it difficult to type. But instead of letting this stop me, I’ve started using dictation as a way to keep working. This episode is all about breaking free from the "all-or-nothing" mindset that often comes with chronic pain and finding ways to keep moving forward, even when things don’t go as planned.</p><p><strong>In this episode, I’ll talk about:</strong></p><p>* My experience with arthritis and how it affects my ability to work</p><p>* The challenge of flare-ups and why seasonal changes can trigger them</p><p>* How I’m overcoming the "all-or-nothing" mindset we often fall into with chronic illness</p><p>* Embracing new tools, like dictation, to adapt when things don’t go as expected</p><p>* Why "If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing badly" has become my new mantra</p><p>Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, chronic pain, or another condition, this episode will offer some insights into how to keep pushing forward, even when your body says "no." I also share some exciting updates on the <em>Anti-Inflammatory Path to Wellness</em> course and a great resource bundle you won't want to miss!</p><p><p>Thanks for listening to the Bare Minimum Health Podcast!
