Welcome to the Wellbeing Weekly where we share one video, one book passage, and one Workshop to propel you forward in your healing journey.
Video: Get Out Of Your Own Way
In this week's video, psychologist Lindsay C. Gibson uncovers the secret to breaking free from self-imposed barriers.
Dr. Gibson outlines why putting yourself first is crucial, not selfish, and how it's possible to care for yourself while still considering others. Dr. Gibson highlights the dangers of neglecting our own needs and offers practical advice on how to tune in to, and honor, your inner guidance system.
Quote: The Secret To A Long Life
As outlined in our book of the month Ikigai, people living in “Blue Zones” - areas of the world with the highest life-expectancy - have a number of things in common, including lifestyle choices such as minimalist and natural diets, daily movement, and fostering strong social ties.
In addition, studies like the one featured in the quote below have proven that maintaining a positive outlook and fostering a self-reflective mindset make significant impacts on our longevity. These qualities, which are at the core of Ikigai, allow us to face life's challenges with a calm and balanced mind.
By adopting a stoic attitude, where a philosophy of progress and resilience guard us against the sometimes overwhelming stressors of day-to-day life, we not only fortify our minds, but, as it turns out, our bodies as well.
Workshop: Abuse Brain - Charting The Impact Of Trauma
Trauma, especially the kind stemming from abuse, often leaves deep wounds not just in our psyche, but in our interactions and bonds with others as well. Navigating the healing process is often extremely isolating, but the journey doesn’t have to be a solitary one.
On March 12th, therapist Nicole Johnson will be guiding us through the labyrinth of Abuse Brain.
Nicole will explore how trauma shapes our responses and relationships, and offer practical strategies to empower our healing journey. Attendees will gain a compassionate understanding of their own inner experience and learn new strategies to foster healthier relationships.
As always, the session will be recorded for Academy members to replay at any time, so no matter when you join, you'll always get full access to our library of more than 100+ recorded self-healing Workshops by mental health professionals.
