Jay is a mental and physical fitness coach, speaker and author of Fit Body Fit Mind. He delivers seminars and workshops to companies who are looking to improve the fitness and wellbeing of their people. Jay specialises in habit and lifestyle change, rather than the typical \u2018diets and workouts\u2019 approach of much of the fitness industry   Jay and I discuss the idea of adapting to the current lifestyle. How does it relate to being strong, or tough? Using ideas of Charles Darwin, Jay relates the idea of adaptability in our changing environment to how we can support ourselves during the COVID-19 pandemic.   Our stress levels in relation to the pandemic is an important thing to think about at the moment. With that feeling of \u2018fight or flight\u2019 becoming a general concern on our everyday life. We also talk about identity, the ideas we have about ourselves, and how we can perceive ourselves in a different way   Jay shares his beliefs in positivity during this difficult time. \u201cBeing positive is going \u2018Stuff is really hard sometimes, but that\u2019s okay, we can deal with it as it comes\u2019\u201d. There may be plenty of doom and gloom to go about during this time, but what we do with ourselves is important in how we can feel - \u201cIt\u2019s the small habits that are most likely to hold up against adversity\u201d \u2013 and it could not be better said.   You can find Jay Unwin at: Website: www.fitbodyfitmind.online Twitter: @TheRealJayUnwin LinkedIn:  jayunwin Instagram: therealjayunwin Email: Jay@fitbodyfitmind.online   You can find Jay\u2019s book, Fit Body Fit Mind, here: https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B08QLY97WD   And take a listen to his podcast: https:\/\/Anchor.fm\/therealjayunwin _______________   Please do make sure you hit \u2018subscribe\u2019 so that don\u2019t miss an episode.    If you haven\u2019t yet left a review, please do go and find the little button to leave a review and let me know your thoughts, key take-aways and what you value from the podcast.
