Hey friends!

This week we delve into the lessons patience can provide us. Why bother being patient in a world that demands immediate action and perceived fast resolution?

Patience in practice might reveal potentially worth-while experiences or outcomes you may have never anticipated...

What will you choose?

Hi Friends!

When you hear the word "Sensitive" what comes to mind?

Today we explore sensitivity specifically within the realm of the highly sensitive person. You will leave this episode with knowledge on how to identify an HSP, some of the misconceptions regarding sensitivity and hopefully some appreciation for your own sensitivity.

I'm a big believer that we all have collected some type of trauma within our lifetime. Even though time may have surpassed the initial event, sometimes we re-experience the exact emotions or feelings within the body/mind in times of perceived danger - I like to call these triggers.

In today's episode, we talk about what triggers are, how to diffuse them in the moment and why it may be beneficial to do some internal work behind the trigger so that we can live more full and present lives.

This one is for the courageous listeners!

Grief is one of the most formative yet painful human experiences we can go through and to everyone's surprise - we will all have to go through it at some point in our lives.

In today's episode we discuss what grief is, how it develops over time and how to provide support for yourself or a loved one who is currently experiencing it.

I'm sure you've heard the phrase "Everything is temporary.", but rarely do we take that into consideration when we feel or want things to last forever. This opposition against the forces of time can remove us from actually enjoying what is occurring in the present moment.

In today's episode, we navigate the concept of accepting the temporariness of life and how that can impact our time here on Earth.

Given that you have an unknown amount of time in this existence... how would you like to experience it?

A big reason "A Moment For Yourself" was created was to provide a safe sanctuary from the craziness of everyday life and the complexities of human existence. Overstimulation can largely inhibit our ability to check in with ourselves and make sure our mind and body are in sync.

In today's episode we identify what overstimulation is, how it impacts different types of people and learn useful tools to mitigate any potential harm that can come from short-term and long-term overstimulation.

"A Moment For Yourself" is exactly that. I hope this inspires you to conduct your own self-study and spark conversations with others to increase awareness, honesty and fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others.

The journey of self-development has no destination. It can be easy to believe that there is a set way to grow, achieve or exist as a human being on this planet. We have built societal structures that are fortified enough to create the illusion of perceived safety under an agreed upon way of thinking and doing, but the reality is that there is no rule book.

When we hold ourselves to the imaginary rule book we can easily compare ourselves to others, get stressed by everyday matters and place ourselves in environments that don't make us happy.

Today's episode is a reminder to not take life too seriously. Life is an opportunity to experience all the pleasures and pains of being human. Learning how to navigate moments of surrender and control may be able to help you truly acknowledge and take in the beauty of being alive - in your own experience.

In our fast-paced society we often praise the glory of productivity and encourage others to perform at max capacity at all times. Take a look at the systems you participate in (School/Work/Art) - all encouraging you to produce for the contribution to society and for the opinion of others.

BUT - when was the last time you took a break? It can be exhausting to show up in these systems consistently - especially if you don't really enjoy what you are doing. In today's episode we explore the different perspectives and potential benefits rest can bring us. Remember, you have to rest so that you can recharge and perform at your best capacity and that "best capacity" will look different every day.

I appreciate you indulging in this self care and rest today.

Thank you for taking a moment for yourself.
