🌊 Welcome back to Episode 5! 💦 We're diving straight into the deep end, picking up where we left off in Episode 4 - Keep those floaties on if you need them! No social pressure here in these waters and from where I’m standing, you’re rockin’ them!🎸
These next two episodes are long ones! Pace yourself through it if needed - and think of it like you’re pushing through the peak of an exercise, knowing that there will be a cool-down episode after!
We start our episode with a wise and exceptionally retro quote🌟 Let's embrace this wisdom as we explore the final part of our Balance, Breathing, and the Autonomic Nervous System series.
🔍In Part 1, we'll delve into the power of perspectives. Perspectives shape our relationship with our minds, brains, and bodies, and the breath becomes our ally in strengthening those bonds. Get ready for insights on stress, balance, and the magic of awareness, acceptance, and choice. 🧠✨
🧘‍♂️In Part 2, we'll explore increased intentional awareness and how it empowers us to navigate life's complexities. Join us for our episode 5 practice: Mindfulness of Breath, Body, Sounds, Thoughts, Emotions, and Open Awareness.  #MindBodyConnection #StressManagement #PerspectiveShift 🌬️🤔 #KnowYourFundaMENTALs
