Dr. L.'s Healthy Practices' Podcast
by Dr. Ivor Livingston
This podcast covers a variety of information concerning healthy practices, including, but not limited to mental health, physical health, self-improvement and personal development. While I will, at times, be the main speaker on the podcast, most of the time the narrator on the podcast will be a team member from my parent organization - StressHealth Solutions International (or SHSI). That said, I am referring to the structure of the podcast as more of a "Narrative Podcast." For the most past, the podcast will consist mainly of a narrative introduced and presented by one of the team members at SHSI, and it will not have or follow the more traditional format of one-on-one interviews. The decision was made by the team that this format allows for greater and more frequent coverage of a variety of health and health related information. You can listen to both present and past podcasts by visiting our website at: drlhealthypracticespodcast.buzzsprout.com. Also, if there is an interest in learn

How to Reduce Stress When Taking a Vacation
A vacation should offer relief from daily pressure, yet many people feel stressed before leaving, anxious during the trip, and overwhelmed when they return. Packing, budgets, travel delays, family needs, work messages, and the pressure to “make every moment count” can turn time away into another demanding project.The goal is not a perfect itinerary. It is to plan for restoration rather than productivity. You do not need to see everything or use every hour efficiently. A successful vacation helps you return home feeling rested, present, and emotionally refreshed.Hope you enjoyed this informative podcast!

Anxiety and Depression
It's perfectly normal to feel anxious or depressed occasionally, especially in response to life's stressors. However, when these feelings become prolonged, disproportionate or apparent for no significant reason, they need to be addressed. Thankfully diagnosis and treatment methods have come a long way, with many public health campaigns working towards bringing mental illness 'out of the shadows'. The co-occurrence of anxiety and depression is a noted feature of these disorders. While behavioral and emotional symptoms may differ within the two, the fact remains they are both an unnatural and unwelcome state of mental health. Hope you enjoyed this informative podcast!

Self-Blame and Self-Criticism Are Not Healthy Choices.
Self-blame refers to a person’s tendency to consider themselves at fault, especially when things don’t go as well as planned, even if the cause or events were beyond their control. A pattern of self-blame leads a person to feel constantly guilty and inferior. Although the tendency to self-blame can make a person seem humble and unassuming, it can also inhibit them in becoming more creative and wanting to strive to do better. People who have a persistent habit of blaming themselves for anything that goes wrong will usually avoid taking the initiative. This is because they prefer to stay inconspicuous so they won’t receive extra (negatively perceived) attention, and in doing so, hope that others will have similar expectations of their capabilities.

Twelve Self-Check-In Prompts To Understand Your Stress Triggers.
Stress doesn’t usually arrive loudly. It tends to slip into your day quietly—through a racing thought, a sudden mood shift, tension in your shoulders, or a sense that something just feels “off.” Most people try to manage stress by reacting to it after it builds up, but real transformation begins when you start to understand why it shows up in the first place.Self-check-ins are one of the most powerful ways to build that awareness. They create a pause between your experience and your reaction. In that pause, you begin to notice patterns—what drains you, what overwhelms you, and what consistently pushes you toward emotional overload.Hope you enjoyed this informative podcast!

Six Habits for Overall Wellness
The Power Of HabitsHabits are the quiet architects of our lives. While we often credit motivation or big decisions for our progress, it’s actually the small, repeated actions, performed daily that shape who we become. A single choice might feel insignificant in the moment, but when that choice is repeated over days, weeks, and years, it compounds into something powerful.Think about it this way: habits remove the need for constant decision-making. Instead of relying on willpower, which can fluctuate depending on mood or energy, habits create structure and consistency. They turn effort into routine. This is why someone who exercises regularly doesn’t debate whether to work out, they simply do it. The habit carries them forward, even on days when motivation is low.What makes habits truly powerful is their cumulative effect. Small improvements, repeated consistently, lead to remarkable transformation over time. Reading a few pages a day can turn into dozens of books in a year. Saving a small amount regularly can grow into financial stability. The beauty of habits is that they are within your control. You don’t need a dramatic life overhaul to create change. You just need to start small and stay consistent. Over time, those small actions build momentum, and that momentum builds a life that feels intentional, aligned, and deeply fulfilling.Hope you enjoyed this informative podcast!

Push Yourself Beyond Your Comfort Zone.
Everyone has a place we call the “comfort zone.” It is comfortable, familiar, and safe. However, your comfort zone can become a hindrance to your success, especially if you remain stuck there for too long. Sure, you feel secure, but sometimes it also makes you feel trapped. When you are working on your goals, and procrastination starts to creep in, you might hear someone say, “Get out of your comfort zone!” That can be a slap in the face and make you feel uncomfortable. Getting out of your comfort zone may require you doing something you are not confident in attempting. Or perhaps the ‘doing’ gives rise to uncomfortable emotions, such as fear or embarrassment.

Seven Ways to Reconnect With Yourself When You Feel Lost.
Reconnecting with yourself when you feel lost means tuning back in to your own thoughts, feelings, values, and needs instead of living on autopilot or only reacting to outside pressure. It is less about becoming a different person and more about becoming clear on who you are now, what matters to you, and what direction feels right. What it looks like? It usually starts with quiet self-reflection: slowing down enough to notice what you feel, what drains you, what gives you energy, and what feels out of alignment. It can also mean spending time alone, journaling, meditating, or simply creating space to hear your own inner voice again. Why people feel lost? People often feel lost when life gets noisy, stressful, or overly focused on other people’s expectations. Sometimes it also happens because you’ve outgrown an old version of yourself, so the habits, goals, or identity that once fit no longer feel right.Hope you enjoyed this informative podcast!

Steps to Build Social Confidence.
If you’ve ever been in the presence of someone truly confident, it’s almost as if self-assurance is oozing from their pores and they remain unshaken no matter the circumstances. Apprehension and intimidation don’t seem to even register on the socially confident person’s radar. They just are. And others flock around them in awe of their calm, cool and collected composure while at the center of attention. And those who lack social confidence are typically standing back, away from the crowd, afraid they won’t fit in or be accepted should they attempt to be part of the “cool kids crowd”. It can be terrifying to a shy individual even contemplating interaction with those exuding social confidence with such ease. There are so many hypothetical “what if’s” coupled with self-deprecating internal dialogue, it turns into just as much of a physical challenge as it is mental. It doesn’t have to be that way! Building social confidence is a process, but it’s possible and probably easier than you think! Let me speak about five steps to build social confidence. Hope you enjoyed this informative podcast!

Stress And Overwhelm - 5 Signs You Need A Healing Day
What Is a Healing Day?Before we talk about signs, let’s define what we mean by a healing day. Because this isn’t just a day off or a lazy Sunday. A healing day is intentional. It’s a conscious pause. A full-body, full-spirit exhale.

Six Key Benefits Of Being In A Loving Relationship
A loving relationship is not a perfect relationship. It’s not two people who never argue, never feel insecure, or always know the right thing to say. A loving relationship is something much more human and much more meaningful: it’s a space where two people feel emotionally safe enough to be real, grow, and choose each other again and again.At its core, a loving relationship is built on mutual respect. This means seeing your partner as a whole person with their own thoughts, feelings, boundaries, dreams, and flaws. Respect shows up in everyday moments, how you speak during disagreements, how you listen without interrupting, how you avoid belittling or dismissing their emotions. When respect is present, love feels steady rather than fragile.Hope you enjoyed this informative podcast! Again, please note that these podcasts are for informational purposes!

ABOUT THIS SHOW
This podcast covers a variety of information concerning healthy practices, including, but not limited to mental health, physical health, self-improvement and personal development. While I will, at times, be the main speaker on the podcast, most of the time the narrator on the podcast will be a team member from my parent organization - StressHealth Solutions International (or SHSI). That said, I am referring to the structure of the podcast as more of a "Narrative Podcast." For the most past, the podcast will consist mainly of a narrative introduced and presented by one of the team members at SHSI, and it will not have or follow the more traditional format of one-on-one interviews.
