Our lives are full of stressors, and although our fight or flight response is something we should all be very appreciative of, chronic stress affects us mentally and physically in numerous negative ways. But this doesn’t have to be your reality; you have the power to choose vitality, vulnerability, and a full life (rather than just a busy life), and today’s guest, Dai Manuel, is here today to tell you how! Dai is a lifestyle mentor, author, and speaker who has overcome a number of personal struggles throughout his life. In doing so, has learned valuable lessons which he now wants to share with as many people as possible. In this conversation, we speak about the key factors which make for a healthy, fulfilling life, and how to tell if you are pushing yourself too hard in the wrong direction. We also discuss the SMART acronym (a simple framework that will get you on track with your goals), why clarity should be the starting point of your personal development, and why we need to change the way we think about aging!
