"One of the things that we as a society do not do, is listen. Even when we are think we are listening we are thinking of what we are going to say back, we do not listen well, the reality is that I think my health and wellbeing and my families health and wellbeing is dependent on the wellbeing of people around me, in my Community in my neighborhood, where I work and what have you, again the whole concept of inter-dependence verses independence." Joe Yancey

Becoming Alive And Well

“Alive and Well STL” hosted by Bethany Johnson-Javios kicks off its third season in earnest with this episode. Each week you are invited to listen in and join in the conversation of this ‘Alive and Well’ MOVEMENT .

Today, Bethany is joined is joined by Joe Yancey, Chair of the Regional Health Commission’s Community Advisory Board and Rosetta Keeton, Patient Advocate for the St. Louis Regional Health Commission.

In this episode you will realize:

•How hope is CONTAGIOUS
•How we must accept people for WHO they are, and not be too judgmental – because everybody is where they are because of something that has happened – good or bad. It may not necessarily be their fault if they are down on luck.
•That somewhere between “your side” and “my side”, lies the TRUE side of a story if we will only listen.
•Why listening is so important – people can hear somebody talking without actually listening to what they are saying.
•If we listen, slow down, breath and accept people around us for what they are, we can start the long journey of being truly alive and well.
•Life can be tough, and if we can take it slowly step by step and meet all challenges, then we can slowly but surely make it through our journey – because that is what life is – a journey, and its up to each of us to make the best of that journey that we can.
•People don’t understand that the connection between what is good for us and how we respond to these things is a vital part of living life to its full.

Joe gives us an incisive understanding of stress and its impact on our health and lives.
