Head, Heart, Hand

Olga gives tips on adapting new life habits.

Todd: So, I'm here with Olga who is a health coach and I thought we would talk about learning, so people have to learn all these new things to be healthy. It might be a big change in their life. What type of advice would you give people for completely adapting to new change and learning new things?

Olga: Well, I discovered that the most important things that people can do to be healthy and happy is to educate themselves. So what I do, I call VITA Academy, the Academy of Life, and there are four H's that the cornerstone of this learning concept.

Todd: Okay. Oh, that's great, so what are the four H's?

Olga: The first H is head, so first you upload a lot of information that is maybe logical, or brainy, and you get knowledge, you kind of understand things.

Todd: Okay, right. So you ... Basically you take in the information and ... Okay, then the next step?

Olga: The next step is to check with yourself if the message that arrived into your head resonates. Do you feel it in your heart?

Todd: Wow, that's pretty good. So also you could probably use your heart to see if it's true, right? Like intuition. Is it something that's believable? If it's something that's true?

Olga: Exactly. You know, you can call it a gut feeling, intuition, talking to angels. I teach bio-resonance, based on that it's how to raise your intuition to pretty much the brain level and understand yourself, but it's not ... Gut feeling is not an H, so I just stick with heart.

Todd: I like that. Okay, so then after the heart you said it's hand?

Olga: Yes. The third level of learning is experiencing it, so using your hands and bringing all this knowledge into your life and seeing how it works.

Todd: Alright, so basically like put something into practice, right? Use it or lose it. If you don't do it, then you're not going to really know it.

Olga: Exactly. Lose it and use it work on all levels. Is there muscles if you don't lose goes into atrophy, same goes for your memory or anything else in your life.

Todd: Oh wow, that's great. Okay, so then the last one is help?

Olga: Yes, so once you understand what to do, you feel that it's the right thing to do, you experience and you saw the positive results, then it's only natural to share your success story and help other people. For me, the best way to learn is by teaching, by helping.

Todd: Oh wow, that's really nice. So recap, so it's head, you take in the information; heart, you know if it's true or not, like does it resonate with you? Hand, you put it into practice; and then help, you actually give.

Olga: Yes, exactly.

Todd: Wow, that's some really good advice. Thanks a lot.

Olga: Most welcome.
