327: Practicing the H.A.L.T. Theory [Hungry, Angry, Lonely and Tired] When You’re Pushed To The Edge with Josh Trent

What makes you angry? Are you able to recognize when you’ve been pushed to the edge?

Today, I’m talking to Josh Trent. Josh is the Founder of Wellness Force Media and host of the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast.

During our conversation, he asked me those questions, and I have to admit, getting confronted like that can make you feel really exposed.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably had moments of anger or frustration that seem to come out of nowhere.

Getting a grip on how your physical wellbeing impacts your emotional one is extremely important. Today, we explore a concept borrowed from AA, the H.A.L.T. Theory (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired). We dive into how being conscious of these factors can help you regain control of your life.

Josh talks about the benefits of tracking tools like sleep rings and glucose monitors, the process of Emotional Inventory, how to dive into feelings like anger to get to know yourself better and much more! Enjoy!
