“Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns.” -Tara Brach, author of Radical Acceptance

Are you normalizing stress? Everywhere I turn men and women are talking about stress and anxiety.

Watch a 3-minute video from our “favorites vault”on three ways to release anxiety: 

I touched on several resources in this video including the Vagus Nerve Deep Relaxation Breathing Technique and recommendations for conscious movement (check out my recommendations on my Wild Souls Authentic Movement page and Why I Do Yoga). The issues are in the tissues. When we move a muscle, we change a thought. Breathe in, breathe out. Let it go.

Warmly,
