Summary

#689: Today, we're exploring the power of choice for protecting your mind, as seen through the lens of Ayurveda—the ancient Indian system of medicine and wellness. Anxiety Slayer is sponsored by BetterHelp How is your social battery right now? Are you feeling energetic or ready to recharge? Sometimes people pleasing can make you feel worn out due to a lack of boundaries or maybe you’ve been a bit more solitary during the winter months. It can be easy to ignore our social battery and spread ourselves thin – especially with social gatherings picking up after the winter. What’s the right amount of socializing for you? And how do you recharge? Maybe you thrive around people, or maybe you need some more alone time. Therapy can give you the self-awareness to build a social life that doesn’t make you feel depleted. Therapy is helpful for setting boundaries; it empowers you to be the best version of yourself; it isn’t just for those who’ve experienced major trauma. If you’re thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It’s entirely online. Designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule.

0:48.8	digging into more about Iraveda and the mind and you are the perfect person to talk to about this and with so

1:06.2	three goona's and how we can empower our mind.
1:10.3	Yeah, this is one of my absolutely favorite topics and it's the bedrock of
1:16.0	Iravatic psychology, the Iravatic understanding of the mind. We've talked about
1:20.4	the dolhers, the mind- body types and how they have their different
1:25.2	psychological propensities, but when you bring in this factor as well, the
