Uncover the secret to a vibrant work-life balance with Janet Omstead, behavioral change coach and enthusiast of playful living, as she unveils how infusing your routine with joy can transform your approach to health and productivity.
Janet’s journey from the high-octane world of Olympic Games production to nurturing wellness through play provides a fresh perspective on how we can rewire our attitudes toward exercise and embrace the rejuvenating power of rest. With her expert insight, we discuss the symbiosis of work, well-being, and the natural cycles of exertion and recovery that mirror the athletic world.
Ever thought of making chores a blast? Imagine jamming out to your favorite rock tunes while tidying up, turning a mundane task into a mini-concert.
This episode is a treasure trove of such playful strategies, including wisdom from her book, The Play Book, How to Get in the Habit of Good Health, which lists 150 easy ways to introduce more movement into daily life. We delve into how the essence of play isn’t just for kids; it’s a vital, often overlooked component of adult health. Plus, we shed light on the social benefits of play, as highlighted by Dr. Stuart Brown and Dr. John Rady, and discuss how initiatives like Red January can kick-start a year of wellness through community and shared joys.
As we wrap our conversation, Janet and I cast a spotlight on the growing impact of Red January and its partnership with the Genwell Project, demonstrating its commitment to not just physical fitness, but mental well-being and community connections. We share anecdotes about the personal rituals that keep us grounded and challenge you to think about that one indispensable element in your own life that maintains your equilibrium.
Tune in for an episode that promises a burst of inspiration and practical tips to make every day a playful adventure.
