Self-Care Habits That Truly Stick with Jason Gootman

Send us Fan MailNever have I ever so furiously scibbled notes during a podcast interview. My latest guest, Jason Gootman must have shared a dozen quotable quotes and analogies that I NEEDED to write down and remember. Jason Gootman is a Mayo Clinic Certified Wellness Coach and National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach as well as a certified nutritionist and certified exercise physiologist. Jason helps people go from knowing what to do and having good intentions to consistently taking great care of themselves in ways that help them add years to their lives and life to their years.It was clear from the beginning of the episode, Jason was going to bring in equal amounts of myth-busting, solid simple advice, and resources for those struggling with their health and wellness habits.The very first gem I had to write down...Being well, according to Jason, is "proactively meeting most of your needs, most of the time."  He went on to share that the journey to better habits is more about learning to meet our own needs. Not by subscribing to the old adage: "I should already be able to do this on my own." (How often have you used that line on yourself?)Instead, Jason encourages exploring growth through the lens of the acceptance paradox. Better acceptance and love of oneself leads to being better able to help oneself. Bottomline - by embracing our own humanity we can view our less resourceful habits as opportunities to take 5-10% better care of ourselves. Not through beating ourselves up.Please enjoy this episode and allow it to fill your cup. Jason has so many resources - many of which are free -  for you to begin your journey to better habits and wellbeing. Jason left me with a final gorgeous quote, improving our wellness is about "coming into better harmony with yourself."A Gift Just For You, dear listener.Dozens of wellness articles: https://puvema.com/articles/Connect with Jason:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasongootman/https://www.facebook.com/jasongootmanhttps://www.instagram.com/jasongootman/https://x.com/jasongootman Interested in learning more about how to use your human design as you step into your brightest future?
