BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE EPISODE
We are joined by the one and only Jay Merrilees, from Bullet Proof Leader, coincidently, we have managed to have Jay on the Pod around the same date for the last 3 years!
It’s this time of year that we need some help, and we would only trust Jay to help. Silly season is behind us, and we are talking about the fundamentals of looking after yourself and giving yourself some self-care. It’s a bit of a loose episode but stay with us. It’s well worth the listen.

- Main Topic [21:02] Loving yourself with Jay Merrilees. You’re bringing you with you, wherever you go. So how can you take care of yourself? You can try and compartmentalize the different aspects of your life; however, they will eventually bleed into one another. The walls will erode over time if you don’t look after yourself.
It’s an old saying, but you need to fit your oxygen mask before fitting anyone else’s. 92% of your communication is through your actions, the last 8% is what you say. So, if you are out of alignment and are constantly pushing through to the next thing, then this chat is for you.A belief is just a thought that we repeat over and over again in our heads. So let’s change the narrative, let’s set the Framework, which is comprised of, Nutrition, Movement, and Sleep.Now, so as not to overwhelm yourself or go setting these high all-or-nothing goals. Pick 1 or 2 things. Maybe you want to get more quality sleep, maybe you want to add more movement to your day. Start small and build from there.If sleep is high on your list, think about how you start your day, or what you are doing before you go to sleep each night. Pre- and post-sleep activities will affect the actual sleep you get, it’s not about the number of hours, it’s the quality of it.Let’s take it a step further. If the framework are the fundamentals, then the elementals; Breathwork, Cold Exposure, Light Exposure, and Grounding or Nature Exposure are the brickwork we wrap the framework within.As one thing becomes part of your routine, then you can add another. We’ve tackled Sleep, now let’s look at movement or breathwork whichever you identify as more of a need to yourself.The main takeaway from this is to enjoy the journey, not the result. This is what your brain and body respond to. If you enjoy something you are more likely to continue to do it. -
