Stepping Back, Building Awareness

It can be helpful to take a step back, to be deeply present to yourself as a way to find clarity and get a sense of groundedness.

Checking in With Yourself

One of the most powerful things we can do is to check in with ourselves; to get very honest and real about how we’re actually feeling–not how we should be feeling.

Practicing Self-Compassion

Embracing who we are would seem easy, but most of us are conditioned toward self-criticism.

Self Care - Rest, renewal, and supportive relationships

In order to manage stress, we need to build self-care into every day.  That might mean bringing more physical activity and movement into our day, taking breaks at work, creating meaningful connections with others.
