Unpacking the Comfort Crisis with Michae...

JJ VIRGIN
About this episode

Join JJ as she explores how to lose more weight, have a better heart, be in a better mood, burn more calories, and more! The only thing you need to do differently is step just a little outside of your comfort zone. Sound too scary for you? Listen as editor and author Michael Easter explains how simple it can be to alter just a few small things you are probably already doing... and see big results!

Michael and JJ discuss why you don’t need a gym membership and a daily or weekly gym schedule to get in better shape, you can literally get more out of taking a walk in nature with nothing more than a backpack to give you the same (if not better) results. Michael doesn’t mince words though, there will be a bit of a challenge in certain ways like stepping somewhat out of your comfort zone. Less daily technology, more mindfulness, less instant gratification, slowing down a bit, all things that may sound pleasant on the surface, but we don’t realize how much mindlessness has become the norm for us. If we can get just a few small things in check, we will see great improvements in our physical and mental health, our emotional wellbeing, and our outlook on life.

You will be amazed and inspired when you listen to Michael explain how you can adjust a few small daily activities, like taking an enjoyable walk in nature and stepping somewhat out of your comfort zone, can get great gains!

You don’t want to miss this.
