Release Tension in 90-Seconds | Balanced Wisdom Therapy https://share.google/Y7E5XU1uOrGROuBui

Did you know emotions last 90 seconds in the body? It's not the feeling that lingers, it's the story your mind attaches to it.
When we resist emotions we stay suck.
When we allow ourselves to feel them, we create space.
Do you find it hard to sit with uncomfortable feelings?

Discover the 90-second rule by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and how mindfulness helps release emotions stored in the body. Learn why “what you resist persists, and what you feel you can heal.”

Your mind has a constant narrator — always comparing, evaluating, and sometimes criticizing.
That’s normal.
Mindfulness isn’t about switching it off; it’s about seeing it for what it is.

Next time your inner critic pipes up, notice it without adding another layer of self-judgment.
You can simply say, “Judgment is here.”
That moment of awareness is the doorway to clarity, peace, and self-compassion.

Let’s all put down that suitcase of rocks together. We don’t have to carry it anymore. 💛
