Ikigai (pronounced ee-key-guy) is a wonderful Japanese concept that essentially means “a reason for being.” It’s made from two Japanese words: iki, meaning “life” and kai, meaning “effect, result, worth or benefit.” Combined: “a reason for living.”

Isn’t that rather beautiful?

Much too often, perfect becomes the enemy of good. Perfection becomes more important than making progress in the first place. There have been so many times I’ve given up on something because I wasn’t able to do it as often, as devotedly, in the same capacity that I’d originally planned to.

It's difficult to imagine what led a friend, family member, or celebrity to commit suicide. There may have been no clear warning signs, and you may wonder what clues you might have missed. Often, many factors combine to lead a person to the decision to take their own life.

We're quick to forget that businesses are run by human beings. On the other end of the products and services we love are people who put in a ton of work to make things happen. This week I spoke with Cole Raven, COO of Podchaser on what it means to be a startup founder and how the meaning of balancing life can take on a whole new meaning.

What We Discuss:

  • The importance of the well-being of your staff
  • How trail running and OCR's keep him grounded
  • How the idea for Podchaser came about
  • Why he's considering locking up his digital devices

Both happiness and health are tied together very closely, with each affecting the other. This means that if you aren’t happy your health suffers and vice versa. Ultimately, this means that if you want to be as healthy as possible, you should look at things that are affecting how happy you are as well as how long you spend at the gym each week.

This week I spoke with Tess McMechan on what it means to bring awareness to our thoughts and begin the process of conscious healing.

Everyone has a sexual orientation and gender identity. Sexual orientation is who you are romantically or physically attracted to. Gender identity is the internal sense of being male, female, both or neither, which is separate from your biological sex. People who have a different sexual orientation or gender identity from most people fall under the umbrella term LGBTQ+. It is really important to know that identifying as LGBTQ+ is NOT a mental illness or disorder.

Of course not — no one can expect to heal properly from a serious injury without a PT regimen. But replace the word “physical” with “mental” and our attitudes toward treatment shift dramatically.

People practice meditation for different purposes. Some seek one of meditation’s many benefits for the body, mind, and relationships; others are seeking personal growth, emotional healing, or spiritual development. Regardless of what your initial intention was for starting the practice, if you meditate long enough, you are bound to discover many things about yourself—some of which may not be pleasant. This could be called the “shadow self."

When you’re turning to unhealthy foods you can feel better temporarily, but in the long run, you will feel worse. When your body isn’t getting the right nutrition, you can begin to feel less energetic, more lethargic, and in some cases less able to concentrate and focus. All of this can lead to even more stress.

Is weight training for women just a recipe for overdeveloped, manly-looking muscles, or is muscle building not something to be feared after all? Women have come forward leaps and bounds when it comes to including strength training into their fitness routines. We’re seeing more and more women in the weight room, getting under the squat rack, in CrossFit gyms, and with dumbbells even in the comfort of their own home. And yet, despite this incredible move towards weight training becoming more common for women, there is still an untold number of them who are hesitant when it comes to adding strength training to their fitness regimes. Let's discuss that.

There is one big mistake you’re making that is eating up all your gains from working out and eating right. Any idea what it is? This weeks health nugget, we’re taking a look at your sleep hygiene! Sleep may not sound particularly important when it comes to making gains, but hear me out. Sleep is your body’s reset process and it is as important to your fitness gains as consuming enough nutrients is! Falling asleep may seem like an impossible dream when you’re awake at 3 a.m., but good sleep is more under your control than you might think. Following healthy sleep habits can make the difference between restlessness and restful slumber. Researchers have identified a variety of practices and habits—known as “sleep hygiene"—that can help anyone maximize the hours they spend sleeping, even those whose sleep is affected by insomnia, jet lag, or shift work. Sleep hygiene may sound unimaginative, but it just may be the best way to get the sleep you need in this 24/7 age. Here are 12 simple tips for making the sleep of your dreams a nightly reality.

Having a reliable and supportive social network during a phase of weight loss can prove to be extremely helpful and beneficial, not only for your results but for your mental well-being.

In this case, the definition of a social network can hold several meanings. Whether it’s a support group, friends or family, or a true digital social network like Instagram, Facebook, or Reddit, having a group to fall back on when times get tough will ensure lasting results.

So what does the scientific literature say on the matter?
