Word to the wise, don't go into a podcast with an oncoming sneeze.
00:00:16 Kevin
Anyways, Kevin here, Life22 gang.
00:00:18 Kevin
And doing this one a day early just because the weather changed on me and I've got a headache whipping in and I don't know if I'm going to be able to file one out for tomorrow.
00:00:32 Kevin
And typically I've been doing them on Mondays in the evening and they should be like Monday in the morning.
00:00:38 Kevin
Because that's how the first one was, I believe.
00:00:41 Kevin
Because I think it was Memorial Day.
00:00:44 Kevin
It was something.
00:00:45 Kevin
Anyways, I want to know how your June bloom is going.
00:00:48 Kevin
How is your June bloom?
00:00:50 Kevin
So you can tell me how that is.
00:00:53 Kevin
I hope you're still keeping with some of the things you learned in the first week's challenges, which were habits
00:01:00 Kevin
good habits and hydration techniques.
00:01:03 Kevin
And then week two, let us know in the comments below how your workouts have been going and if you've done any outdoor adventures.
00:01:10 Kevin
Today, we were supposed to do an outdoor adventure.
00:01:12 Kevin
Today's my daughter's birthday.
00:01:14 Kevin
And me and Quinn were supposed to go and get on the river today.
00:01:18 Kevin
And then by the time we got everything done for the day, we were going to just do like a late afternoon evening
00:01:26 Kevin
one.
00:01:26 Kevin
And then we get this wicked thunder lightning storm coming through.
00:01:29 Kevin
So we didn't want to go out on the river.
00:01:31 Kevin
So I'm gonna have to plan a different day with her for that.
00:01:33 Kevin
But keep up with it.
00:01:34 Kevin
Let us know in the comments below what you're doing for outdoor adventures.
00:01:37 Kevin
Maybe you're just going for a walk.
00:01:39 Kevin
Maybe you're walking the dog.
00:01:40 Kevin
Maybe you don't walk your dog.
00:01:41 Kevin
You just let him out back normally.
00:01:42 Kevin
But this month, this week, you've just been taking him for a walk.
00:01:45 Kevin
You've been going for a walk with the missus.
00:01:47 Kevin
You've been, maybe going for a hike, maybe you're doing hiking.
00:01:50 Kevin
We've got a lot of great nature trails out there.
00:01:52 Kevin
So not to sound like just some like over eccentric, you know, tourist guide, but we do.
00:02:00 Kevin
We do have beautiful mountains.
00:02:02 Kevin
We do have beautiful hiking trails.
00:02:04 Kevin
We have walking trails around our beautiful city.
00:02:09 Kevin
It's as beautiful as you're willing to, you know, pretend the homeless people aren't there.
00:02:14 Kevin
You know, that said.
00:02:16 Kevin
But this week, week three-week three of the June bloom is the mind bloom.
00:02:23 Kevin
Last week's challenge was the movement bloom.
00:02:25 Kevin
The previous week was the foundational bloom.
00:02:29 Kevin
This week is the mind bloom.
00:02:31 Kevin
And we're going to do meditation techniques and we're challenging you to do some reflection.
00:02:38 Kevin
Okay.
00:02:38 Kevin
So we want you to kind of find a good space, right?
00:02:43 Kevin
Like
00:02:44 Kevin
Like I said, we're getting into this.
00:02:46 Kevin
was kind of like our Mental Health May is going into the June bloom.
00:02:52 Kevin
And part of this week's challenges are going to reflect on things that maybe you've already been doing from Mental Health May, maybe the things you haven't done.
00:03:02 Kevin
Maybe the littlest things stress you out and make you frustrated or angry or what have you.
00:03:07 Kevin
And you just need to find some good meditation.
00:03:13 Kevin
Maybe you need some yoga.
00:03:16 Kevin
Or maybe you just need to sit and think and enjoy a yogurt and just sit there and just zone out for a minute.
00:03:23 Kevin
Just go to a happy place, whatever the yogis are telling you.
00:03:28 Kevin
But I'm saying, finding something that relaxes you.
00:03:34 Kevin
It might not be an official meditation, but I mean,
00:03:39 Kevin
All these things, meditation in general is all a theory.
00:03:42 Kevin
None of it is like scientific law and none of it's proven, but there's a lot of good exercises, breathing exercises.
00:03:50 Kevin
There's a lot of science behind the breathing exercises.
00:03:53 Kevin
That's where Lamaze comes from.
00:03:55 Kevin
What is it?
00:03:56 Kevin
Two ins, one out.
00:03:58 Kevin
Just a quick, it actually relieves a calming effect, a calming agent into your brain and you just
00:04:05 Kevin
There's a lot of things to be learned about breathing exercises, and maybe that's what you're going to do this week.
00:04:10 Kevin
You're going to be learning about breathing exercises.
00:04:13 Kevin
But once you get into a good meditation, it allows you for internal reflection.
00:04:17 Kevin
You need to reflect on your week.
00:04:18 Kevin
You need to work on reflecting on your life, the choices you've made, how those choices, good and bad, have affected you, things like that.
00:04:26 Kevin
And so we can delve into some of that.
00:04:29 Kevin
Let us know in the comments below as much as you're willing to share, we're willing to listen to.
00:04:33 Kevin
So
00:04:36 Kevin
And I'd love to start doing like a Q&A, have callers call into the show, and we may be doing that.
00:04:43 Kevin
So because if nobody calls in, I can still rant for an hour and we might just do that.
00:04:51 Kevin
And then next Sunday into Monday, we will be giving you our 4th week's challenge
00:04:58 Kevin
So with that said guys, we look forward to reading your comments.
00:05:01 Kevin
We still always love your hate mail, so keep it coming and we hope that you are successful in your June bloom and we'll see you guys maybe tomorrow on Life 22.
