Our focus is on the critical journey individuals must undertake to reconnect with their inner wisdom, highlighting the challenge many face when seeking external validation or guidance instead of looking within. As we explore this theme, we emphasize the importance of embracing one's own expertise in navigating personal needs and feelings. Dr. Letterman introduces the concept of the nine pillars, a framework designed to help individuals realign with their internal landscape. By identifying and nurturing these pillars—self-awareness, sleep, nutrition, activity, play, connection to family and friends, work and purpose, spirituality, and the natural world—we can cultivate a holistic sense of well-being. The discussion elaborates on how attending to these areas fosters resilience and joy, particularly when faced with life’s inevitable challenges. #anxiety #selfcare #mentalhealth #wellness #mindfulness #emotionalregulation #stressmanagement #innerpeace #personalgrowth #healing #coaching #therapy #psychology #neuroscience #communication #relationships #parenting #children #education #health #lifestyle #happiness #joy #fulfillment #purpose #meaning #spirituality #nature #connection #community #support #resilience #hope #inspiration #motivation #transformation #growthmindset #selfcompassion #selfacceptance #bodypositivity #mindfulliving #holistichealth #integrativehealth #lifestylemedicine #functionalmedicine #nutrition #exercise #sleep #play #family #friends #worklifebalance #boundaries #compassion #empathy #nonviolentcommunication #mbsr #act #dbt #cbt #GinaRyan #ACP #AnxietyCoachesPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
