Ep. 8 | Mothers, Stool Analogy, Building Mental Fitness

In episode 8 of The Mindful Surfer Podcast Will and Liam start their conversation about how running a podcast has impacted them. Liam talks about the challenges of public speaking in a podcast. Will talks about comments about swearing in the show and how he received them, he also brings up memories of his mother's bush. Further, they switch up on the topic of overthinking when making decisions. Your heart knows what is the right choice even if things don't go according to plan. Once you are happy with where you're at you can start building joy and place 
you want to be in the future. They recommend Seth Godin's book "What to Do When it's Your Turn" and checking out Jody Spencer https://jodyspencer.com/ They proceed to meditation exercise where Will answers question "Is worrying pointless?" He talks about his dealing with 
worries and support he received from his loved ones. He recommends Eckhart Toll's books "The Power of Now" and "New Earth". Liam brings up the topic of problems with talking about emotions, how serious it is, and important mental health awareness is. He recommends Tim  Samuels's book "Who stole my spear?"

 

Further, in The Mind, Body, Stoke segment they talk about the different foundation on which you build your life, and what happens when you can't have one of those foundations. Liam talks about labels in our society. He says that if you get too much into one label it becomes blocker for your joy and gratitude for everything else. The biggest obstacle in trying something new are walls you created around you because of the fear of other people's opinion. He recommends checking out Tony Riddle on rewilding yourself https://tonyriddle.com/ and "The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference" book by Malcolm Gladwell. 

In last Surf Media Insight segment Will talks about yin and yang in surfing (body exercises and ocean/meditation aspect). They also talk about movie "Kalani: Gift from Heaven"
