<p>Welcome to episode 56 of <strong>Mind Bloom</strong>, your podcast on all things <strong>mental health</strong> through <strong>breast cancer</strong>.</p> <p>I'm your host, <a href="https://www.mindbloomyou.com/about"><strong>Marina Gee</strong></a>, and this week we're talking about the <strong>Five Pillars</strong> (I like to call them the five seeds) to a flourishing life. &nbsp;</p> <p>The first self-improvement book I ever read (very sceptically, I should say) was Melody Beattie’s <em><strong>Codependent No More</strong></em>. I cannot describe to you the amazement, the perplexity, the a-ha moments I experienced while reading Beattie’s book for the first time. To this day, I come back to it periodically, for a refresher. Maintenance is important, as we tend to forget how to best love ourselves.</p> <p>In this self-discovery journey of mine, I learned that our emotional wellness relies on five pillars. These may vary slightly from person to person but, generally, we all agree that a flourishing life needs a balanced degree of: <strong>Food</strong>, <strong>Sleep</strong>, <strong>Movement</strong>, <strong>Emotional</strong> and <strong>Interpersonal</strong> realms. Listen on to find out more about these.&nbsp;</p> <p>Grab your free copy of the <strong>Thriving Trail</strong>, my 50-page workbook with tons of exercises to help you monitor your flourishing life. <a href="https://www.mindbloomyou.com/thrivingtrail">https://www.mindbloomyou.com/thrivingtrail</a></p> <p>Find <strong>Mind Bloom</strong> <strong>@mindbloomyou</strong> on:</p> <p>Instagram: &nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/mindbloomyou/">https://www.instagram.com/mindbloomyou/</a></p> <p>Facebook: &nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/mindbloomyou">https://www.facebook.com/mindbloomyou</a></p> <p>Twitter: &nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/mindbloomyou">https://twitter.com/mindbloomyou</a></p> <p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mindbloomyou?lang=en">https://www.tiktok.com/@mindbloomyou?lang=en</a></p> <p>Pinterest: &nbsp;<a href="https://www.pinterest.com/mindbloomyou/">https://www.pinterest.com/mindbloomyou/</a></p> <p>YouTube<strong>: </strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZJdimAg2x96QyZvbhfdnNQ">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZJdimAg2x96QyZvbhfdnNQ</a></p> <p>Clubhouse: @ Marina Gee | Club <a href="https://www.clubhouse.com/club/blooming-academy">Blooming Academy</a></p> <p>Join the private <strong>Facebook</strong> Group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/bloomingacademygroup">Blooming Academy</a></p> <p>Please leave a review in the <strong>Apple Podcasts</strong> app.</p> <p>Visit<a href="https://www.mindbloomyou.com/"> https://www.mindbloomyou.com/</a> for news, blog posts and pretty much everything on Mind Bloom.</p> <p>Buy Mind Bloom a <strong>Coffee</strong> by going to<a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mindbloomyou"> https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mindbloomyou</a></p> <p>Music score by SirGeeOh<a href="https://soundcloud.com/sirgeeoh"> https://soundcloud.com/sirgeeoh &nbsp;</a></p> <p>Marina Gee gets her daily inspiration from mentors like <strong>Brene Brown</strong>, <strong>Glennon Doyle</strong>, <strong>Oprah</strong>, <strong>Pema Chödrön</strong>, <strong>Tara Brach</strong>, <strong>Deepak Chopra</strong>, and <strong>Melody Beattie.</strong></p> <p>DISCLAIMER: The content provided by Mind Bloom is NOT intended to be a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
