Quotes to ponder:

"You have all the self-awareness you need - now it’s time to inhabit new patterns through your body and experience the lasting shift that you deserve."

"The more you shift your attention back to your body, the more likely you are to break the pattern of being consumed by your thoughts."

"Putting a different term on these core issues has not made it go away."
