π Unlock Your Inner Joy: October's Happy Mind Treats!
Nurturing A Happy MindAs the sun sets for the month of October, casting long shadows and welcoming the enchanting eve of Halloween, I can't help but reflect on the intriguing theme of this month - nurturing a "Happy Mind." π This month, like a curious wanderer of the supernatural, I ventured into the misty realms of the human psyche and the mysteries of happiness. Science and spirituality, like ghouls and ghosts, danced hand in hand in the moonlight, revealing the secrets of a truly "Happy Mind." π» In this newsletter edition, I'll revisit the insights gathered during this haunting season of "Happy Mind" as I prepare to embrace November's new explorations. π·οΈ Chemistry of the MindThis past month, I explored the profound connection between my mental and physical well-being. Research has illuminated the intricate relationship between my mind and body, emphasizing the importance of holistic health. ποΈββοΈ Through practices like meditation, breathwork, and movement, we learned that we can positively influence our brain chemistry. The gut-brain connection, in particular, reveals that over 50% of serotonin, a happiness neurotransmitter, is produced in the gut. This connection underscores the significance of a holistic approach to well-being. πΏ As we close the chapter on "Happy Mind," let's reflect on how these insights have deepened our understanding of the mind-body relationship. Podcast Season of Mindsetπ Happy Halloween, everyone! π Today, I have a special guest for you. π¬ Join us for a spooktacular episode of Omni Mindfulness as we celebrate the wisdom of youth with my son Omni, who turned 11 just a couple of days ago! π§β¨ Get ready for a ghoulishly good time as we dive into the secrets of finding happiness at a young age. π§π»ποΈ Omni's perspective is not only enlightening but also perfect for the Halloween spirit. Tune in and let his wisdom fill your heart with joy. Episode: βOmni's Wisdom: Happiness at 11, A Conversation with my son Omni Valentino Lewis (Epi #128) ππ¦ Don't forget to leave some love in the comments! ππ𧑠#Halloween #HappyMind #YouthWisdom #PodcastRelease β As the leaves take on their cozy autumn hues and Halloween's magic fills the air, I've recognized that October brings a unique theme to my podcast - a season centered around 'Mindset.' π" β My conversations have uncovered the intricate dance between science and spirituality when it comes to achieving a "Happy Mind" - a topic that I further discuss in my blog "Is a Happy Mind Key to Mental Health?" ποΈ. And, as a fitting treat for this spooktacular month, we celebrated a milestone, Episode #125. It's a reminder of the many conversations we've shared, the wisdom we've gained, and the joy of our journey together. Here's to many more milestones as we continue to explore the extraordinary. π
β Happy Mindset BooksThis month, I recommend two enlightening books from our podcast guests, who are experts in niche areas. These books offer profound insights into achieving and maintaining a 'Happy Mind.'
They juxtapose the concept of happiness: one delves into brain health and strategies to improve it, while the other guides you in mastering your mind through your thoughts. Stay tuned for these enlightening discussions and more on the Omni Mindfulness Podcast as we journey deeper into the art of maintaining a 'Happy Mind.'

The Science of SpiritualityIn my bonus section, I've explored the dynamic interplay between science and spirituality when it comes to nurturing a "Happy Mind." π The Source of True HappinessIn my quest for true happiness, I've discovered that what might seem spiritual, like rituals. Rituals, ceremonies, and customs have their place in countless traditions and have always intrigued me with their rhythm and repetition. Little did I know, they hold scientific merit too. Rituals much like mental habits, are consistent behaviors that can profoundly impact the chemistry and neuroplasticity of our minds and bodies.
Habits are simply thoughts grooved deeply into the brain. The needle of the mind plays those records of habits again and again. Even the chemistry of the body responds, as with addiction. Applying mind and will can change those patterns. - Paramahansa Yogananda
They're a bit like the 'habit loops' of our spirituality. Here are some examples of habit loops that contribute to a happy mind:
These habit loops, when holistically practiced with consistency, can greatly enhance your overall well-being and contribute to a happy and balanced mind. The common thread weaving through these diverse habit loops is the incredible power of consistency. BonusPodcast Guest Dr. Mary Newport provided generous information including her MCT+Coconut-oil recipe and list of favorite products listed below. Tune in to listen to her podcast episode, and enjoy the information she has shared below to keep your brain healthy and happy! Dr. Mary Newport's MCT/Coconut Recipe 4 ounces MCT + 3 ounces coconut oil. This works best by melting the coconut oil first, which I do by putting it into a glass measuring cup and putting it in the microwave for about 20 seconds at a time until melted, which takes surprisingly little time. I usually make a batch of 16 ounces MCT oil + 12 ounces coconut oil and put it with a funnel into an MCT oil or other glass bottle and store at room temperature. It should be good for two years at room temperature. Products Suggested by Dr. Mary Newport to Boost Brain Health

But wait there is more... If you are a solopreneur, and youβre frustrated with your Facebook results, youβre certainly not alone. Striving to get consistent results on Facebook (and Instagram) is a constant struggle for so many marketers around the world. What worked last year (heck, even last month!) no longer works today. Meta keeps rolling out massive changes, trying to woo consumers to spend more time on the Meta platformsβ¦ and trying to woo marketers to buy more ads. Well, the good news is you absolutely CAN drive consistent results from your Facebook marketing efforts with the right strategies!

This time, Mari is revamping the curriculum to bring us a completely fresh approach to getting the results we want with our marketing efforts. That is, reliable traffic, leads, and sales. Itβs not all about getting the highest βvanity metricsβ with masses of followers, tons of reach, and striving for that big viral hit. And, itβs actually not all βpay-to-playβ on Facebook. Organic marketing is still very much alive and kickingβ¦ if you know the right strategy. Let Mari show you how you can grow your business using all that the Facebook family of apps offers for free β¦ without spending money on ads. (Unless you really want to!)
