That’s the Way I Like It: Ayurveda, Awareness & Choosing Consistency | DIVO- Ted Talks

💬 Quote from the Episode:“We are the experts of ourselves—but sometimes we may be confused about what it is we like or what we need.”🌐 Description:In this episode of DIVOted Talks, Nicholas Wade Kimps explores Ayurveda, craving, and consistency through the playful lens of a KC & The Sunshine Band classic. Learn how distorted desires, routine, and mindful structure shape wellness, yoga philosophy, and self-awareness in a distracted world.🎶 “Uh huh, uh huh, I like it…”📌 Show Notes:When a song loops in your head, is it trying to tell you something? In this playful-yet-profound episode, Nicholas Wade Kimps riffs off the KC & The Sunshine Band anthem to explore Ayurveda, craving, and consistency. He reveals how what we “like” isn’t always aligned with wellness — sometimes it’s just the echo of imbalance (vikṛti becoming our new norm).Through reflections on kapha comfort, the 26&2 Bikram yoga sequence, and the cluttered distractions of modern life, Nicholas highlights how routines, journaling, and mindful observation help us reclaim awareness. Rather than autopilot cravings, we can create rituals that realign us with health and self-knowing.This DIVOted Talk reminds us that movement is medicine, and that noticing what we “like” is the first step to discerning what truly serves.🔑 Highlights:🎶 Songs as Signals: What looping lyrics may reveal about cravings and awareness🪞 Vikruti vs. Prakruti: How imbalance can disguise itself as preference🌱 Kapha Wisdom: Comfort, consistency, and the beauty (and danger) of predictability🔥 Yoga as Feedback Loop: Using the 26&2 Bikram series to notice shifts and changes in the body-mind📓 Journaling & Tracking: Practical tools to study your own patterns like a case study🌊 Distraction vs. Awareness: How modern noise hijacks attention — and how to reclaim rhythm💡 Regret vs. Regrettable: Why wishing things were different doesn’t have to mean living in regret💬 Reflection Prompt:Where in your life are you confusing “what you like” with “what’s familiar” — and what might shift if you listened more deeply to your body’s true needs?✨ Call to Action:🌐 Explore more: divowellness.com📬 Sign up for the DIVOted Newsletter for podcasts, prompts, and studio updates💬 Share your reflection — DM me, reply, or leave a comment— 🧡 DIVO Wellness — Movement is the Way
