How I quit alcohol
245. The importance of self check in and how to do it.
In this solocast, I dive into the transformative power of the self check-in. Understanding and responding to the signals our body sends can be a game-changer in preventing ailments, avoiding poor decisions, and managing reactive behaviours. Through self-compassion and mindfulness, we can better equip ourselves to face life's challenges with grace and resilience.
Join me as I guide you through a simple yet powerful mindfulness practice designed to help you connect with yourself on a deeper level. Whether you're dealing with stress, uncertainty, or just need a moment of calm, this episode will provide you with the tools to tune into your body, listen to what it’s telling you, and respond with care.
I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be running a 7-day course called Connected live and online, starting on September 16. This course is designed to help you deepen your connection with yourself through mindfulness and self-compassion practices. Don't miss this opportunity to join a supportive community and take your personal growth journey to the next level!
Sign up here for the 7 day "Connected" course.
