Noticing the breathAwareness prior to changeHolding breath when under pressureE.g.’s Include a client w/ social anxiety.How can we leverage curiosityWhy do I need to be curious if I just need to know if I should stay in my job.Being curious helps you to confront your ‘inner judge’Imposter syndrome : Correlation w/social mediaBusiness decisionsI elaborate on lesions from BoundariesIt helps to leverage a sense of accountability when one feels tension with boundariesPick your friends, Love your familyMaking peace with ‘needing people’, especially those who accept us as we areThe importance of ‘candid friends’ and making important life decisionsClean out the closet before you sort it out My five “lifestyle tweaks” are as follows: Develop a relationship with your body that includes movement that is fun, convenient, and affordable so you can do it for life. I see the all-or-nothing mentality cycle with movement and exercise. The body we have is the one we’ve got and movement is vital for feeling balanced, energized, and creative. Take time throughout the day to check in with your body and listen to what it is telling you. These qualities can serve you well, and then pay attention to the messages your body tells you about your needs and wants. Cultivate curiosity. You can apply this anywhere and you likely won’t be bored. And if you are bored, stay curious about the feeling! Surround yourself with people you love and who accept you unconditionally. This is vital as we are such goal-oriented people, especially as professionals and hardworking people in New York City. If you get into the striving-to-improve mentality, you can forget about the person on the way to their goals. Sometimes you need the people who love you to remind you how great you are. Don’t give up on yourself and don’t think you need to go it alone: keep working on your own personal development even through challenging and scary times. Find a therapist or mentor to help you along your way as we all need support. We have lost the art of curiosity and presence while being with other people. From this communication comes empathy, understanding, and connection — the opposite of loneliness and isolation.

An internal locus of control refers to the belief that one's own actions and personal characteristics are responsible for the outcomes they experience, while an external locus of control refers to the belief that external factors such as luck or fate are primarily responsible for the outcomes they experience.
