Show Notes
“Why do we need to slow down in this fast world?”
Season 7 Episode 6
My guest on this week’s episode of The Lifestyle First Podcast is Carl Honore, TED speaker with the talk, “In praise of slowness” and author of the books Under Pressure, In Praise of Slow, The Slow Fix and Bolder.
We discuss time and speed.
We highlight being busy as mechanism for distraction.
We talk about having it all and hurrying it all and the sacrifice of physical and mental health, creativity, productivity and loss of pleasure in the moment.
We look at the cultural taboo of slow and the discomfort of taking the time to reflect and be with yourself.
We explore how to create slowness in a working environment.
1. The one question we discuss is “Why do we need to slow down in this fast?”
2. The two references we look at are:
· Carl Honore. Under Pressure.
· Carl Honore. In Praise of Slow
3. The three actions to take are
· Do less – let go of one thing a day and create a not-to-do list
· Unplug – use the off button on your phone
· Create a slow ritual to spread the glow of slow
Which of these 3 actionable health tips will you implement?

Social connectivity is directly linked to longevity. The blue zones are areas in the world with the longest living people and these zones have been shown to have one thing in common – community spirit, belonging and connectedness. * * * * * In this episode I explore the nature of societal definitions of masculinity & femininity with founder of Nobul Men, Simon Wisdom. We discuss what these definitions mean to our closest relationship, the one with ourselves. * * * * * As always we give you three actions to take away from the episode which are: 1. Focus on your personal brand & know what your personal values & boundaries are. 2. Recognise the ability to ‘dance’ with each other. Our energies are constantly changing & recognising that in our relationships will make those relationships more fulfilling. 3. Attraction is always in ‘flow’ - there is no right or wrong answer & intimacy is a constance dance as we try to understand each others needs in a relationship. * * * * * Find Out More/Contact/Follow: You can find out more about Simon & his work at https://nobul-men.newzenler.com Or get in touch at [email protected] You can discover more & connect with Dr. Alka at the links below: Newsletter: https://dralkapatel.com/mailinglist Website: https://dralkapatel.com/ Socials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dralkapat... https://www.facebook.com/dralkapateluk https://www.instagram.com/dralkapateluk https://twitter.com/dralkapateluk * * * * * DISCLAIMER: This content does not constitute or substitute personal one-to-one professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
