Field Note 5 - Slowing down - a mini challenge

Welcome to Field Notes - The Breathwork Podcast that’s actually a mini weekly class but that’s not as catchy….We live in an urgency culture where we believe everything needs to be done expeditiously our social media feeds compound this beaming in messages of more to do lists and hacks adding more and more to our overworked brains and bodies. What if I told you that the constant pressure and this constant urgency is creating an environment within your body that doesn’t feel safe. Over the years many of us have conflated productivity and self-worth. Many of us have been rushing for so long that we don’t even notice anymore. if you find it really hard to slow down if it’s really unusual for you to sit down in the day and you feel guilty whenever you rest the chances are along the way you have conflated productivity with self-worth. In this episode I set you a gentle challenge and of course a breath practice to support you. Let me know how you get on :)If you’re enjoying these you can show your appreciation by sharing it with someone you know.I’m so happy you found your way here, here’s a little bit about me.I’m Sophie, a breathwork practitioner, a single mum to two young boys, and someone who believes that nobody is broken and nobody needs fixing. I’m passionate about making well-being something that doesn't require us to follow trends and fads, buy expensive gear to take part or require us to change our lives to fit into a narrow set of rules. This is about living more aligned to your unique rhythm and flow, not mine. Each week I'll be sharing conversations around breathwork, nervous system regulation, mindset and the small, practical things that help us navigate life with a little more ease. This work isn't about becoming a better version of yourself. It's about resourcing yourself. Building capacity. Understanding your mind and body a little more deeply and having tools you can come back to when life feels challenging.Think of this as your free weekly class.
