For our first episode of the year Cynthia has invited Caitie Corradino to discuss the importance of slowing down in life, particularly in relation to body image and self-care, even though it is very uncomfortable. Caitie compares slowing down in this way to what it might feel like to sit in fire. This is a very painful thing to overcome. They explore the challenges of making time for oneself, the emotional aspects of slowing down, and the role of healing practitioners in supporting this journey. The conversation emphasizes the need for intentionality in creating space for mindfulness and self-reflection, as well as the benefits of allowing oneself to feel a range of emotions. The episode concludes with practical tips for integrating these practices into daily life.

Takeaways:

• Slowing down is a choice that must be made daily.
• Self-care practices should not feel forced or like another task.
• Experiencing discomfort is part of the process of slowing down.
• Creating buffers in your schedule can help reduce stress.
• It's important to have a supportive space when practicing mindfulness.
• Body avoidance can be a cozy place, but it's not healthy.
• Feeling emotions is essential for personal growth and healing.
• Practicing mindfulness can help improve body image.
• You don't need to achieve anything to deserve relaxation.
• Healing practitioners can provide valuable support in the journey of self-discovery.
