"The words you speak become the house you live in." - poet Hafiz
In this episode, Adrienne guides you through a journaling practice to explore how you think about yourself.
Our brains are hard-wired to find the worst case scenarios in every situation. So, often times, we will criticize or limit ourselves due to our inner bully.
Our Yoga practice teaches us that we have the ability to find peace and comfort within ourselves. So grab your journal, get comfy and take some time to retrain your thought patterns!
