Life can definately have some unexpected twists. Those twists or blowouts can be a time to notice our thoughts and feelings inside our bodies. We can notice them with gentle awareness. It takes practice though. In this episode, I use my multiple events of being stuck on the side of the road to share how we can watch our thoughts and not let them carry us away. I hope this helps. I help overwhelmed humans especially moms shift from overwhelmed feelings to more alighned living. I use tools of breathwork, somatics, mindfulness and mindset to do this. I have a program that does just this. It makes life a little more manageable, it is a blueprint to find calm in our chaotic lives. If this seems interesting, please reach out. I love feedback and I love meeting you all. Your support and kind words are always appreciated! Ways to stay in touch:
