Key Elements of Emotional Fitness: Part 1 - Vitality

Untrigger Yourself by Vivir Emotional Fitness Institute

In this episode of the Untrigger Yourself podcast, Dr. Peter Hercules and Katrina Hercules dive into the first key element of emotional fitness: vitality. Exploring vitality as the essence of living fully alive, they unpack its dual dimensions—vigor and engagement—and its role in transforming life from routine survival to vibrant participation.

This conversation examines how emotional disengagement and learned detachment can suppress our innate life force, leaving us disconnected from our own vitality. Dr. Hercules discusses the power of unblocking this energy through emotional fitness practices, highlighting how vitality enables us to embrace challenges, connect deeply with the present moment, and reclaim a sense of purpose and joy.

The Untrigger Yourself podcast is meant to build on Vivir's mission to heal the impacts of trauma and spread the message that enduring emotional distress from outdated responses is not necessary. Through insights, stories, and reflections, this podcast uncovers the immense potential for personal growth, well-being, and emotional fitness that lie beyond our triggered responses.
