Episode notes
Body Changes Being
- Changing the body changes perspective and being, which enables lasting change rather than just temporary thinking shifts.
- Embodiment operates at a more foundational, ontological level than behavior or results.
Notice Then Choose Different Embodiment
- Notice your habitual embodiment around a problem and ask if it's useful or kind.
- Choose a more useful bodily pattern (breath, posture, movement) and practice it intentionally.
One-Minute Centering Hack
- Use a short centering routine: feet grounded, upright relaxed spine, soften jaw and eyes, belly breathing.
- Spend one minute centering before coaching to reduce stress and improve clarity and creativity.
