What I learnt this week: boosting your sex life, great Linked In marketing tips & 5 words to transform your day
Happy Friday!
I've decided to share my entire weekly newsletter on Linked In going forward. If you'd like it in your inbox, feel free to subscribe at www.healthywealthyandwiseuk.com.
It's been a podcast-heavy week thanks to my brand-new Air Pods, which have sent my podcast consumption through the roof while I do housework and puppy-duty! Here are 3 I loved and 3 lessons learnt:
How to optimise your sex life as you age (for both men & women), with Dr Amy Killen on the Mindvalley podcast - episode here. This was a really eye-opening listen! Big Pharma would love us to think that like our overall health, our sexual performance is on an inevitable decline — and out of our hands — as we go through our 40s and beyond - the truth is very different. Here she debunks 4 big myths and offers 6 ways to regenerate our sexual health and performance alongside our overall health.
Some brilliant tools for Linked In marketing in 2020 courtesy of Rob Moore’s ‘The Disruptive Entrepreneur’ podcast. The tips include how to maximise engagement in the 1st hour after you post, to give your post its best shot of reaching 2nd and 3rd degree connections, the optimum frequency and content mix for posts, and how to leverage the new Documents feature. Here’s the episode.
5 words that will transform your day - “Good morning; I love you.” This comes from Dr Shauna Shapiro, who advocates putting your hand on your heart each morning while you say these words to yourself. This is the key to digging into your subconscious to find self-compassion - the daily repetition will rewire your neural networks. Another idea I loved from her interview on the Goop podcast: When something wonderful is happening or you’re in the moment, enjoying your baby’s chuckle or a beautiful sunset — take 3 deep breaths and lock in that memory. Our survival mechanisms enable us to remember bad or scary memories easily to protect us in the future. Positive memories are far harder to hardwire - they take 20-30 seconds of focus to commit to long-term memory so the breathing helps.
Have a great weekend!
