In self help work we often put the majority of our focus on controlling our mind to create different outcomes in our lives. There are so many good things that come from mindset work, but coach Leah Davidson is here today to talk about the often overlooked importance of regulating the body as well as the mind. As you listen today, Leah will teach you so many good things about the mind-body connection and how to get your body’s nervous system in a state of regulation so that your mind can then be in a state to create new thoughts that in turn will create the results you want. Leah believes, and science shows, that if your nervous system is not regulated, the mind will not be able to regulate either.
So much emphasis in today’s world is put on our bodies and how they look. With so much outside messaging on how our bodies should be and what we should make them do, it can be really hard to learn to trust your body and see it as an ally instead of an enemy.
