Episode 80: Mindful Movement for Stress and Overwhelm with Simone Russell

It's the end of a year and the beginning of a new one. Perhaps 'move more' or 'start yoga' is on your list of new year resolutions? Or finding ways to more effectively manage life's stress and overwhelm? This chat with Occupational Therapist and Life & Mindfulness Coach Simone Russell is perfect for this transition. In our chat, we talk about how we can use a mindful movement practice to help manage stress and overwhelm, as well as really practical ideas to help you set those new habits in place.  Find out why understanding your values is so important in developing a movement habit; why finding the ‘path of least resistance’ is a good idea; why ‘could’ might be a better option than ‘should’; and the power of choice. Plus, we look at why relying on motivation might not get you where you want to go, and how ‘dangling the carrot’ could work more effectively.Tune in to find out more, then go find Simone at www.simonerussell.com and on Instagram and Facebook.Find Erica on Instagram, Facebook and the website.The content I share on this platform is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
