Do you want to create more vitality for yourself? And w<\/span>hat does vitality mean <\/span>for you <\/span>in your life?<\/span><\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve been doing a lot of research on <\/span>vitality, embodiment and <\/span>neuroscience<\/span>,<\/span> a<\/span>nd <\/span>the research strikes me,<\/span> E.g. How our body knows before our brain <\/span>does<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I<\/span>f you meet someone, your nervous system will instantly, in a nano-second, react. When it is safe, your brain gives a heads-up: okay, you can connect with the other person. When <\/span>unsafe, your heartbeat will go up, you get sweaty, and you may<\/span> even physically <\/span>move <\/span>back. All this is before you<\/span>r brain<\/span> think<\/span>s<\/span> I don\u2019t trust this person; this does not feel safe. It makes me reali<\/span>z<\/span>e even more that <\/span>our body is forgiving but is never forgetting<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

I <\/span>challenge<\/span> you <\/span>with your next meet-up <\/span>to <\/span>be more <\/span>conscious<\/span> of what your body tells you<\/span>.<\/span> Consciousness<\/span> is crucial to growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

What if you turn your perspective around and reali<\/span>z<\/span>e that everything you do, do not do, and think is regulated by your body and then your brain gives meaning to it, not the other way around? <\/span>This was a new and upside-down perspective for me as an analytic and left-brain person<\/span>. In my leadership training, participants <\/span>sometimes <\/span>become aware that<\/span> th<\/span>ey are walking heads without consciousness about their bodies<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

I <\/span>was one once, too. Now, I\u2019m more aware of what my body is telling me, and listening <\/span>to what my body is saying<\/span> brings me <\/span>more self-regulation,<\/span> calmness, and more capacity to oversee things. <\/span>In my perspective, <\/span>self-regulation is<\/span> a crucial trait for leaders<\/span> now and in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

These days, there is a lot of talk about <\/span>being conscious about your body and how <\/span>vitality can serve us. But can it? <\/span>What does vitality mean if we bike on a treadmill to get some \u201chealthy\u201d juice or have a chair massage at work to release our neck and <\/span>shoulder<\/span>s?<\/span> We live in a world of quick fixes, and I believe <\/span>vitality is not a quick fix but <\/span>is <\/span>a mindset<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Are you conscious of what you eat and drink? Do you sleep enough, <\/span>eight<\/span> or <\/span>nine<\/span>hours, to be rested? Do you give yourself permission to be still and meditate? Do you work out a couple of times a week? Do you focus on getting some new inspiration<\/span> or innovative ideas<\/span>? <\/span>All these things <\/span>get your neurons moving in your brain. And that<\/span> is<\/span> what keeps your body healthy<\/span> sustainably, and that takes a different mindset.<\/span><\/p>\n

So<\/span>,<\/span> the neuroplasticity that keeps us healthy in the long run <\/span>i<\/span>s about<\/span> food, sleep, focused attention, exercise and novelty. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not about judging anything you do<\/span>; it\u2019s all<\/span> about awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be <\/span>loving and kind to yourself first<\/span>, <\/span>and<\/span> take care of your beautiful body.<\/span><\/p>\n
