Hello, beautiful people!
When it comes to self-development, coaching, or therapy, nothing will happen by itself. You might consume plenty of books, spend dozens of hours and thousands of pounds on coaching and therapy, but you will not get the results you're looking for without putting tools and learning into practice.
Tools will not make your problems disappear. They will not obliterate learning difficulties, cure anxiety or depression, or erase a problematic childhood. However, they can make life more manageable.
Where do you start? The key is to keep trying and using the tools we learn, even if we fail at times.
We discuss gratitude practice, visualizations, journaling, breathing techniques, grounding techniques, routines, finding comfort in discomfort, but most of all, finding the key to success: compassion for yourself.
We're also talking about being enough and how the constant feeling of inadequacy and lack of purpose can be easily compared to chronic pain. You can get used to this, but it will linger and affect our lives, possibly at the worst times.
We explore the acceptance of all emotions and how all of the above connects to mental health and suicide crisis among men above the age of 40.
To learn more, keep listening.
As always, we love you!
Klaudia & Niko
