Participants will explore “embodied awareness” and the power of focus. We will discuss brain areas activated by these skills and strategies to pause when thoughts and emotions feel overwhelming. Together, we will examine triggers, survival states, and neuroception while practicing awareness, internal boundaries, revisioning, and persistence.Awareness of how we feel in a relationship or environment is important but pairing that awareness with an action plan aligned with our desires and needs allows us to shift from states of protection into states of resilience and growth.Questions are powerful motivators for curiosity. They help us visualize patterns of thoughts and feelings shaped by our environments and experiences. The questions found in the webinar description in the attached materials can be engaged individually or through group reflection, discussion, and journaling.
