Olly Carter on how implementing the four pillars of wellness can help us get through lockdown - a podcast by Steve Whiteley

In this conversation I chat to life coach Olly Carter (https://www.boldliving.life).

Through his company BOLD, Balanced Organic Lifestyle Design, Olly is encouraging people to become their authentic selves.

This episode is a lockdown special, in which Olly gives some helpful tips and advice on how to get through this challenging period.

He explains that even though we are faced with such uncertain times, he questions how much of our lives before the pandemic were certain anyway. And that now is an opportunity to develop adaptability and versatility and for us to grow, pause and reflect and for it to become a moment of enlightenment. He explains the importance of developing rituals and routines and describes what he terms as the four pillars of wellness, 'nutrition, physical, emotional and spiritual’. He dives in deep breaking down each pillar and why they are so essential to our overall sense of wellbeing

Olly explains why we should focus on one task at a time and do that to the best of our ability rather than multi task. Why we should remember our tomorrow by honouring our today. Olly suggests waking up early and how we can make the most out of the time that would usually be lost via commuting. Why discipline brings you freedom, why we need mini breaks throughout the day. How understanding your values can help find your authentic self and why it’s so important to do so. He breaks down why we should try to understand our gremlins or self-limiting beliefs and when we do slip up, why we shouldn’t be so hard on ourselves. Olly explains the acronym of HALT and why it’s so useful to put it in place before taking action that may have a negative impact on us. He discusses the importance of having a gratitude journal, a regular meditation or breathing exercise programme and why we should be mindful of our echo chamber. There is loads here!
