Ignoring the fact that you didn’t work on it.2. Self-blame for having failed to work on it.Neither of these are healthy responses. Let's talk about each. Then I'll share my recommendations.Watch video or add comment here:https://youtu.be/-xY2Aig4gLA This is a public episode.

In this deep conversation, Mira Rao and I discuss the concepts of Resilience, Stress, Polyvagal Theory and the neurobiology of trauma, the difference between coaching & therapy, what is embodiment and authentic expression?, and why many of us (with people-pleasing tendencies) aren't setting goals that are really authentic to one's Self. When you understand your biology in terms of how you respond to stress, you'll empower yourself with new options that feel more true to you.Mira Rao is a Resilience and Embodiment Coach who has been practicing yoga for 25 years, and teaching yoga and body-based therapy for 10. She completed studies in Linguistics and Journalism, holds an MBA and is currently completing a Masters in Counseling at Notre Dame University.People seek her out when they’re burnt out on getting stuck in their past in therapy or whitewashing their pain with toxic positivity in coaching. They want to BOTH release old trauma and stress patterns, learn deep and steady self compassion AND make significant changes in their life to move forward with resilience and confidence. Mira teaches them practical ways to develop routines and rituals for embodied resilience that help them work through unresolved traumas, deal better with challenges and stress and start moving towards what they truly want in their lives.Mira Rao Website: https://www.mirarao.com.auYou'll find her Embodied Envisioning webinar/workshop there.Mira's social media links:https://www.instagram.com/miraraocoaching/https://www.facebook.com/MiraRaoCoaching/https://www.linkedin.com/in/mira-rao-resilience-and-embodiment-coach-60085515/ This is a public episode.

Your work -- and the way you show up -- is of deep unique value to thousands (maybe millions) of people, most of whom have yet to discover you.

What do I mean by “authenticity” in the context of business and marketing, especially for us self-employed professionals?Authenticity is to practice having no agenda, other than these purposes:1.

When working, are you aware of your facial expression, your body posture, your breathing?The more challenging the project, the more tense your face and body might get. This doesn’t help you to do better work. Yet it increases stress.Years ago I started practicing what I call “calm joyful focus”, which is to practice noticing, throughout the day, my body expression as I work, especially my face.Instead of furrowed eyebrows and pursed lips, I consciously relax my face, and hold a soft, gentle smile.In this video, I demonstrate:https://youtu.be/ZurThxVCeTc This is a public episode.
