But what about those mental elements that challenge our ways of thinking about wellness? Have you ever stopped to think outside your own box about how spiritual aspects of your own life can be truly expanded upon?Eric's Website--For more information on our show, visit brosandblokes.com or check out our social media platforms and support pages:Facebook: @brosandblokesTwitter: @brosandblokesInstagram: @brosandblokesTwitch: https://www.twitch.tv/brosandblokesYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBPMTY_DQs16Xyh_cfYesg/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/brosandblokesSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/brosandblokes)
