Make friends with your cravings to release their grip

What you resist persists.

We don't need to fear or fight our cravings and harmful habits. We can release so much of their grip by befriending them with curiosity and bringing them into the light. This is so much what mindfulness is about.

In this video I touch on how mindfulness can help us through each phase of a habit cycle.

2:22 - bringing mindfulness into your craving, noticing & naming the craving itself

4:38 - explore what's happening in your body with curiosity

5:58 - become aware of the emotions beneath the habit cycle

6:25 - extending action or care from this deeper place/ root layer

8:31 - stay present & curious in the midst of the undesired behavior

9:16 - staying present and making space for shame or regret ~ being with our humanness 11:56 - staying open to the whole experience allows us to see more and learn juicy information that helps us shift

13:52 - You are already shifting. You got this! It's a practice.
