Ways to begin healing from emotional addiction:
1. Practice self witnessing: observe yourself, how you think, how you speak, + how you unconsciously respond to the world around you.

2. Practice deep belly breathing when not activated: 3 rounds of deep belly breathing will activate the parasympathetic nervous system. With practice, this will allow you to bring yourself out of stressful states more quickly. This will bring confidence.

3. Become aware of what you consume: our mind + body learn emotional states, then seek to stay in them if we remain unconscious. Know what you consume when you’re bored or agitated— you’ll then be able to connect how often you seek certain emotional states. Mantra: “I choose peace.”

4. Become aware of the topic of discussions in your closest relationships. Are you vulnerably, mutually sharing parts of self, or are you re-living emotional experiences in cycles?

I find my emotional addiction to be towards chaos— my familiar childhood. In moments where I feel bored or have low level anxiety, I find myself tempted to scroll social media to feel any version of upset OR, I will start to pick at my partner to get some type of reaction.

What emotional states do you unconsciously seek?

Hello all!

Unfortunately, Reto won't be live today however I have edited a past video that is well worth a re-visit today.

Through practice and acknowledgement, we are able to better integrate material that can work wonders to our inner-being, inner-peace and self-esteem. (which is really a good idea to try getting right)

This edited replay of Reto's insights is just so worth re-investing some time into practising and integrating.

Reto will be back in the flesh on Wednesday.

Have an awesome Monday beautiful people, and please feel free to comment below. Remember to breathe and just be the amazing you.

Morning all!

Unfortunately, Reto can't make the stream today but I would like to introduce you to an interview with Mel Robbins author of many bestselling books including the "5 second rule".

Mel talks in this interview about training yourself into confronting anxiety or your learned behaviours with a straightforward 5-second count down technique.

Used in many mindfulness practices these tools enable you to manage realtime situations that simply need a 5-second gap to make the next right decision.

It's a very powerful technique to apply in your professional and personal life once you have mastered it.

Best explained by the author herself.
