169: Running an Intentional Life
Does it seem like the days are long and the years are short? Are there things that you want to accomplish, but it seems like you just don’t have time to do them? Then you’re going to like today’s guest. Side note: I get a little fan girl-ish, because Jonathan’s work is life-changing. Seriously!
Jonathan Fields is a serial entrepreneur, highly sought-after keynote speaker, author, personal trainer, yoga teacher, dad, husband, podcaster, and “assistant” camp director who runs (along with his world-class team) a mission-driven media and education venture called the Good Life Project. His mission in life is to spark possibility—also known as a catalyst.
We discuss how he came up with his latest book, and how you can take small, consistent steps to create a life that fills up your “buckets.” Jonathan explains that we have three buckets—vitality, connection, and contribution. He gives examples for each bucket, and he also talks about how when one bucket leaks, it affects the other two buckets. These buckets are something you hear about once and remember forever.
There’s even a quiz that you can take to discover how full your buckets are and what you can do to fill them. We discuss quizzes that can help you better understand yourself, which will help you figure out what lights you up. One of the highlights of 2016 for me was attending Camp Good Life Project (GLP). From making new friends, learning, creating, to eating s’mores, it’s a good time and something I highly recommend.
Serena Marie, RD, shares how eating fish with bones is a good source of vitamin D. We also discuss some research that shows how juicing, souping, and fasting can help spark weight loss. Serena’s goal is to share the science behind these practices—even though there is research that she would not advise her clients to replicate.
