📝 *Important notes⇢*

📝 This approach is most suitable for everyday small changes (kind of like the examples I talked through in this video!), *not* for change related to any events that could be considered catastrophic - please ALWAYS consult a professional if what you're experiencing is related to very difficult events in your life.

📝 This isn't the only way to change that requires less "force" and leans more "natural/spontaneous". There are always (at least) 100 ways to climb a mountain! 

📝 For some changes, it also wouldn't make sense to try to apply the ideas in this video. 

📝 For some brains, this approach might not be helpful at all. Always, where you can, try to experiment in small ways to check out what DOES suit you and how YOU operate before diving in and taking any ideas in this video as absolute fact.

📝 Keep an open mind but also... take what resonates, leave the rest. 

📝 I'm not a mental health professional, just a gal into shame-free, acceptance-based behaviour change.
