Episode 84 - Developing The Skill Of Adaptability

This episode is for all the TGD allies out there. I wanted to break down exactly how you can apologise respectfully when you misgender someone, without making excuses or turning the whole situation into something about yourself. I wanted to take time to talk about how to apologise for making mistakes, which we all do by the way. Now I don't think anyone is perfect and to be honest there isn't an expectation to be. But what I think is important is to show respect and be accountable.

In this episode we will be looking at how you can get started training with Kettlebells. Because I love kettlebells and I love training folks and teaching them about kettlebells. But kettlebells can be pretty intimidating. And it's easy to avoid trying them out because you may now know how to train with them. So I wanted to break it down and go over some steps that you can take if you're wanting to get started using a kettlebell.

In this episode we will be looking at how we can put the skills of self discipline, time management and adaptability that we've looked at over the past 3 weeks together in a way that is sustainable long term. And it's important to remember that whatever changes that we make in our lives, we do them in a way that helps improve our quality of life and not add to our stresses by causing feelings of overwhelm, being restricted or that you're missing out on the things that you enjoy. Because at the end of the day, if the changes you're trying to make don't feel good, it's unlikely that you're going to be able to sustain your new habits.

Though this is also a very helpful skill to have for all aspects of our lives.

In this episode we will be looking at how you can prepare yourself for the upcoming holiday period and family gatherings that you may be required to attend. Because this time of year is stressful for people who celebrate the holidays. And these celebrations often come with family commitments and having to engage with people that you might not see often and may be completely insensitive to your experiences. I mean let's face it, we can't choose the family that we are connected to genetically. But we can choose how we can manage ourselves around them. Or even choose not to put yourself in those situations.

In this episode we will be wrapping up our little series of things that are important for us to know about our bodies. This is not to say that in the few episodes that I've done that I've covered anything even close to things that are important to know about ourselves. But I hope that these episodes have given you an insight into things you may not have known about your body or even helped you see your body from a place of curiosity about the complexity of it.

In this episode we will be looking at another thing about our body that's important to know. And today we're gonna have a see of what actually happens to our body fat when we get leaner or lose weight. Because all we ever hear about from the fitness industrial complex and western culture when it comes to weight loss is that we should do that. We need to have less body fat to be "attractive", "healthy", "fit", "athletic" or whatever. But the concept of losing weight is pretty vague. What actually is happening in our bodies when we do reduce the amount of body fat that we have? It's like this information isn't important at all. The only important thing here is the aesthetic result of weight loss.
