Conscious Language with Cat Thompson

We got such a huge response from our original Conscious Language episode, we invited Pilar’s friend and teacher Cat Thompson to come talk about the subject in more depth. Here, Cat shares expert insights about how and why our language choices have such a huge impact on our outlook and our actions, and how being more intentional in your language can change your life for the better.

Pause

Too busy to take a breather? The science is clear: taking brief, periodic “ultradian rhythm” breaks improves not just your health and happiness, but also your productivity, creativity, energy and mood. We explain how to recognize your body’s “need a break” signals and build more health-supporting pauses into your day.

Travel

Travel can pose serious challenges for health-seeking people — from limited food options and excessive seat time to increased stress and disrupted sleep. We share some of our best tips for pre-trip preparation AND for rolling with whatever random conditions you’re faced with out on the road.

Seasons

Winter, spring, summer, and fall — your body shifts gears with each season. Discover the simple lifestyle shifts that can help you stay in step with nature’s cyclical rhythms, rather than being driven by the madness of the modern-culture machine.

Morning

Mornings can be tough — rushed, stressful, groggy. And they set the tone for your days. So we offer up some smart strategies for reclaiming them. We explain why your first waking moments are so influential, and offer a fleet of suggestions to help you start each day on your own empowered terms.
