Our discussion recording willexplore the subject of health

(01:13):
dynamics and that is a bigsubject, so we will touch little
aspects of it along the way,and I have the pleasure of
discussing those with our guest.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Makoda, thanks for having me, I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Now, makoda.
Before we introduce you and forthose that haven't, well, I'll
introduce you right now.

(01:50):

She's doing her master's degree.
She is a world traveler.
She has so many differentaspects of her life that she

Speaker 2 (02:08):
What else Video?

Speaker 1 (02:09):
games and writing and all that fun stuff.
All that stuff reading, bookclubs, acting, all of this stuff
.
So we're very, very pleased tohave such a well-rounded person
have this discussion abouthealth.
So I usually ask the listenersthis and I will as well.
But I will also ask you, makota, what you feel.
Makota, listeners, when youthink of the word health, what

(02:36):
do you automatically think of?
What part of health does that?
What is health to you?

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Well, I think it's physical health.
I think about my body and allthe things that it can or cannot
do, based off of how much Iwork it pretty much.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Right, so when you go to health, are you naturally
going to physical?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yes, in my mind.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
How many different aspects of health do you think
that are most common overall?
If you were to guess a number,between one and 10?
I don't know, maybe two orthree.
Yeah, it's very interestingbecause I did a lot of research
on this and in general thepeople I've been asking they go

(03:23):
to physical.
More than anything physicalhealth, which is a given.
There's a lot more onintellectual slash, mental slash
, mind health.
That's going on as well and myfindings are found, which is why
I picked this subject, not onlybecause we're doing all our

(03:44):
core dynamics.
If you don't know what they are,dynamics, seriescom look under
dynamics and health is one ofthem.
So you said two or three and Ihave, over through the research,
have looked at anything fromfive to 10 different health

(04:08):
aspects.
Wow, that's a big difference.
It is a big difference and theyall sort of intertwine with
each other, but they don'tnecessarily are not related to
what people would think ishealth Like.
One of them is financial.
Now, would financial health besomething that you think?

(04:30):
Would you associate financialand health together, and how?
If you're financially healthynot that doesn't mean you have
hundreds of dollars in your orhundreds of dollars, but you
know whatever amount, but wouldyou associate financial with
health?

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, I think, now that you explained it, I think I
would.
If you're financially healthy,I would see this like having a
good mindset or a goodrelationship with money, just
like how you would with yourbody.
If you're good physically withyour health.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Right.
So it's about remindingeveryone and just bringing this
awareness about living in thisdynamic life by design, because
we all know that we co-createour life and if you don't know
that you do, you're having arelationship with everything and
everyone at all times.
We are all energy, we all cometogether, we all law of

(05:25):
attraction attract each otherinto each other's lives for
reasons Sometimes that is notnecessarily a feel good reason,
reason it could or it could be afeel-good reason.
So again, it's all a cocreation, so you're co-creating
with your finances.
Like you said, your mindset onfinances could be part of your
health, because if you're havingsome issue from a financial

(05:48):
point of view Because if you'rehaving some issue from a
financial point of view or youhave to maybe just reiterate,
like, am I having lack feelingsor am I knowing that I have, I'm
abundant and this world isabundant and I have infinite
possibilities around finances,and what is your relationship
with money?
And that can affect your healthtoo, and your mind and your

(06:11):
spiritual.
Let's just go over some of theaspects of it.
What else would you think wouldhave association with health?
So we've talked about thephysical and we've talked about
the mind, which they call theintellectual and we've just
talked about financial.

(06:32):
What are some of the otherhealth things that you think
would?
Now that you know thatdifferent perception and
perspective on health, what elseyou think might be some of the
ones that we?
talked about it comes to mind,or what, in the research that
I've done, is some of the othersubjects that you think health

(06:55):
would fall under, where it's oneof the core ones.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, I think of occupational health.
Actually, I actually knowsomeone that is an occupational
health therapist and that's whatthey do for a living, that they
help people come back into theworkforce.
They help them withunderstanding their mental
capacity.
It's also like an encompassingtype of health in that way that
it focuses on the physical, onthe mental, on the environment,
but also surrounds the idea ofoh, it's about your job, it's

(07:23):
about how you can get better atyour job with all those aspects
in mind and how can you comeback into the force of whatever
your job is with a good mindsetand good health and all of that.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, that's a really good because occupational is
one of them, in that it does, itdoes focus more on the work in
your creative side, in yourcareer side, in your even your
retirement, because that's stillyou doing something, your even

(07:53):
your retirement, because that'sstill you doing something,
whether you're working forsomeone else, like you said, in
a job or, and all of that beinghealthy yes you know when you
think about going into your job,where you're going to work?
like, is work, like some peoplesay, is a four-letter word you
don't want to think about?
Or do you look at it more of myoccupational health?

(08:16):
Is me getting to express myselfout in this world in a certain
way, in which I have studied forin university that I have now
going for my master's degree?
Like, what way do you look at,you know, the work that you do
and the creativity side that youdo and the writing that you do
and how you, you know, play yourvideo game?

(08:37):
Like, how do you now look atoccupational health and the
importance of the balance of allof them as we go through?

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Yeah, it's totally different now that I've realized
that it was even really a thing, because sometimes when you
talk about a subject, you don'tknow the giant scope of how it
can be and how it can all kindof encompass each other and
interconnect that way and thatthey're all important.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yeah, so true, and the balance of them all and how
they do touch each other.
Yeah, not good with your work.
You know, sometimes that canaffect your financial stuff,
that can affect your physicalstuff if you're in a physical
job, you know.
So there's that health thatgoes around there.
I'll just quickly go over theother ones.

(09:23):
You can go to the blog and wemay talk about just maybe one or
two of them as we go throughthis podcast.
Emotional Feelings you knowyour whole well-being, how are
you on that emotional scale?
How do you deal with youremotions?
It's a big one.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's a big one, yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Intellectual, which we've talked a little bit about.
Now people talk the word mentalhealth, so it's acceptable, but
it's not anymore Like I don'tknow where that balance is right
now.
But they call it intellectualhealth now, which encompasses
mental and mind health.
So again, how important is that?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Very important.
I mean, if you're having thingsthat are in your head that are
making it hard for you to beable to do those other healths
in your daily lives, and thatmakes a big difference.
If you have that mental blockof being able to do something
physical or maybe even somethingfinancial, then that can stop
you from getting all those otherhealths under control.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Right and good point.
And if you have a mindset ofnegative or positive, lack or
abundant, you know what do youprefer in all of these?
Like all of that affects you aswell.

(10:46):
Your mindset, too, will affectyour physical, your
occupational're like.
It'll all like it.
It affects.
How is?
How do you look at things?
And and I mean you think aboutthe mindset, and intellectual
too is like, how do you talk toyourself?
What does yourself?

Speaker 2 (10:59):
talk.
What's your inner voice saying?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
and all that, yeah, yes, and even, and not even
about to and about yourself,because it always starts from
within, but around all of thesesubjects.
This is again just a reminderand bring an awareness to all of
this, because you have theopportunity at any time to have
a dynamic, well-being, balancedlife, if you're willing to take

(11:25):
a bit of time to re-evaluatethis and where you are with all
these health in your life, sothat you can have a different
perception.
We are taught a lot when we'regrowing up, because we learn
what by examples, by influence,whether it's parents or

(11:48):
guardians or people that arehave the well-being of kids in
mind, coaches, teachers, thisand that, and you have that
where you have to do a certaincertain rule or be a certain way
or whatever to fit into theworld or or whatever
circumstance.
It may be.
So and it even fits very fitinto the world or whatever
circumstance it might be.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
And it even fits very well into the next health of
the social health, that all ofthose influences have such a big
aspect on everything else, justlike we mentioned, if you don't
have a good social health, thataffects your mental, that
affects your physical, youremotional, and that they're all
so deeply interconnected thatthey all work that way.
Yeah, so it's all you know.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, so it's all again intertwined.
So, like Makota said, social,social health is another one.
So good one on that for you,because social health could be
in person or online.
It could be just how you workwith other people and do you
have a social life.
Do you have something outsideof your occupational life?
Yes, and how do you interactwith people life?
Do you have something outsideof your occupational life?

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yes, and how do you interact with people and how
they interact with you and howdoes that impact your everyday
life?
And how you see everything.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah.
Or are you an introvert?
Are you an extrovert?
Are you different in differentsituations?
All that stuff, spiritual,spiritual side.
Now, spiritual side does notmean that you have to be.
Your spiritual health does notmean that you have to be
religious or that you followsomething.
Your spiritual health is reallyfocusing on the well-being,

(13:12):
knowing that things start fromwithin, knowing that you're
co-creating your life andknowing that there is this vast
universe of space and time andplanets and stars.
And where are you in thatspiritual side?
Right, you know whether it is.
Who do you have as your support?

(13:33):
Do you have that inner guidance?
Do you do you know that there'ssomething greater and bigger
and that you can connect withthat on different levels,
without making it to one way orthe other?
And and then, on the other hand, where there's people that are
very religious or spiritual onthat side, where they follow a
certain teaching or a certainway of life, and all the well to

(13:57):
you, as long as it's empoweringyou.
If it's fear-based, not for it,but if it is empowering you and
moving you forward to who youtruly are, that is the better
choice, I agree.
And environmental, that'sanother one.
What is your environment like?

(14:18):
Your bedroom, your house,around your house, the
environment of where you live.
Do you live downtown, in abustling city, where your air
might not be as good, or do youlive in the country where
there's that, the environment inwhich you are at work?
What does your work environmentlook like?
What does your desk look like?

(14:38):
Do you get a view, do you know,like all these environmental
stuff?
And then you think about allthe stuff that is around
environment and so how do youfeel about environmental health
and how it can affect all of allthe other ones as well?
For the balance, Well, it does.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
I mean, that's the thing is that if you have a
environment, say at work, thatyou just don't like you know,
maybe it's a little cubicle andyou're have no color and it's
not fun that can affect youwanting to be emotional and like
get both your emotions andmaybe you're just not happy with
where you are.
You might not want to be asocial, you might have a bad
mental state because of that.

(15:17):
And again, like you just saw, Ilisted three that were all
affected because of yourenvironment, whereas if you love
your environment, all thosethree and even more can be
positively impacted.
If you're in the forest and youlove nature and you have fresh
air, then you might be morephysical and you might want to
go outside more and you mightwant to be happier because you
get to go, experience all thesethings and be grateful for them.

(15:39):
So that environment can reallybe that switch that just has to
flip for that positive andnegative.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yes, I can tell you, on a physical level, that
focuses on environmental andoccupational.
One of my roles was assistantoperations manager for one of
the major bus companies and Iwas down in the lanes with all
those bus and all those, thefumes and this and that, and so
I had to find the balance ofgoing outside, you know, and I

(16:10):
was in concrete, I was influorescent light, and so I just
had to find the balance ofgoing outside because I loved
what I did, but I also know,from an environmental
perspective, it was hurting abit of my physical as well.
So the health is alwaysconnected Physical, emotional,
intellect, which is again mentalor mind, social, spiritual,

(16:33):
environmental, occupational,financial, and there was
actually three more of them thatI found as well, but I didn't
feel that they fit as well asthese ones here.
So, as we wrap this up, thechallenge to everyone is go,
look at these different healthsand what is your perception,
what is your perspective on allof these, and are you willing to

(16:56):
have a different perspective?
Oh, this affects my physical, mysocial, my like, the health and
seeing.
You know which one do theyaffect and which one can you
find some balance on, or whichone.
Do you have to do somethingdifferent and align differently
for your health?
Exactly, yeah, yeah.
And Makota, what would you liketo say from you know a health

(17:19):
dynamics overall view, as how doyou feel, now that we've had
this discussion about health ingeneral and knowing how these
can interact with each other?

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Well, that's I think, just exactly it is that every
single health can impact theother health very much so, and
so, keeping that in mind, whenyou're maybe not having the best
emotionally healthy day, isthere other things that are also
part of your health that areimpacting that?
Have you gotten up to dosomething?
Maybe you're stressed aboutfinancial stuff, maybe your

(17:50):
environment isn't how you wantit to be and how all those
things correlate, and hopefullyfiguring out a way that you can
make those better, and justrecognizing it so that you can
make those better, and justrecognizing it so that you can
have a better day.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, and be willing to choose something different.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, and making health a priority, because,
again, what you focus on willexpand.
So, as you're focusing onaffirmative things around your
health and we have a whole bunchof them in the blog and other
podcasts as well where you canuse those Dynatools that's,
dynamics and Tools Together tohelp you switch, to make you

(18:28):
