A DIVOted Talk on Momentum, Mindset & the Ayurvedic Art of Self-Review
💬 Quote from the Episode:
“You’ll only move as far as you’ve given yourself the slack or the roots to go.”
🌐 Description:
In this grounded DIVOted Talk, Nicholas Wade Kimps explores why transformation often feels like running with a band around your waist. Through yoga, Ayurveda, and personal reflection, he unpacks how our roots—beliefs, habits, and emotional anchors—define both our strength and our limits.
📌 Show Notes:
Why do we get stuck in the same loops even when our intentions are clear?
Nicholas invites listeners to look beneath the surface of their habits and patterns to see what’s really holding them in place. From the pull of daily routines to the deep roots of identity, he explores how self-inquiry, contemplation, and integration become maintenance for the soul—like checking the tires before a long drive.
He draws parallels between the resistance of change and yogic or Ayurvedic practice: the way effort meets awareness, and how freedom requires both grounding and release. This episode is a reminder that movement forward begins with understanding what we’re still tied to—and how to loosen it with compassion, not judgment.
