Happy reading/listening/watching!
1. VIDEO: Sean Sherman's TEDtalk, Why aren't there more Native American restaurants?
This is such an interesting and important talk!
"No matter where we are, we're standing on indigenous land. And so we should have a really good, strong sense of Native American food because it's just the land that we're on. It's just the history of the land that we're on," says author (of The Sioux Chef's Indigenous Kitchen), restaurant owner and chef, Sean Sherman.
"So for us, it became more than just serving foods. It really became talking about it and talking about why it isn't here. And I think it's a really important story for us to know. And it's also really important to see the benefit of why understanding Indigenous foods could really help all of us in the future."
2. ARTICLE: Improve Your Relationships by Using This One Skill
I discovered this article recently when I was researching co-regulation – between parent and child, and between partners.
Did you know: "Research in recent years distinguishes between co-dysregulation and coregulation, in which one person either amplifies or calms the emotions of another"?
With anyone, you have the power to escalate or deescalate emotions, so you can connect on a deeper and more meaningful level.
This article offers 10 shortcuts to "becoming an awesome listener and thereby improving your relationships."
3. PODCAST: The Gabby Reece Show – The Power of Breathing to Enhance Performance, Relieve Stress and Anxiety, and Improve Sleep with James Nestor
Oh my goodness, this was such a fascinating conversation! First of all, Gabby Reece always has a fantastic lineup of guests – this is one of my go-to podcasts. Secondly, I learned so much from listening to her conversation with James Nestor, the author of Breath: The new science of a lost art.
In a nutshell, mouth breathing is very bad indeed, and you should stop immediately if it's something that you do.
This episode gets into "the why and the how of breathing: breathing for performance, recovery, managing stress and anxiety, better sleep, and avoiding long term illness."
Definitely worth a listen!
What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts on the above resources!
Wishing you a sense of expansive time – enough time to fit in the things that bring you joy!
Best,
Catherine
