In this heartfelt episode of "Sit Down, Be Present," we delve into the transformative power of slowing down, inspired by the soothing lyrics of India Arie's song "Slow Down." We explore how busyness often serves as a shield, distracting us from the deeper issues that need healing and resolution. Together, we'll unpack the concept of "shoulding" on ourselves, and how it keeps us stuck in cycles of guilt and pressure. Join me as we learn to silence the inner critic, embrace stillness, and find the courage to truly be present with ourselves.
