Summary

How do you make it through when your world is crumbling around you? In today’s episode, Rachel shares her best advice, resources, and practices when it comes to crisis management. The first thing we need to do is acknowledge when we’re in a crisis. Sometimes big life events feel manageable, while smaller things make us unravel. Instead of trying to soldier on, admitting that you’re having a hard time can take a huge weight off your shoulders. Rachel defines what a crisis is and shares some personal examples from her own life of different crises she has moved through and the causes behind them. Ultimately, no one else can tell you when you’re in a crisis or not. It all depends on how you’re coping. If you’re having a hard time right now, tune in to learn the steps Rachel takes to keep her sanity in an insane world. Lower your expectations, take care of your basic needs, vent, feel, and move.

0:00.0	Welcome, welcome, welcome to a brand new episode of the Yoga Girl podcast conversations
0:09.3	from the hearts. Coming to you live and direct from a mold crisis, I am still sitting on the
0:18.6	very same Airbnb bedroom floor I was on last week recording this podcast. I have a lot to share.
0:24.9	Honestly, the one big thing that I've really realized is that this crisis that we're in is
0:29.6	here to stay. It's kind of hoping we would be out on the other side somehow magically through
0:35.2	some miracle by now, but yeah, that's not the case. So we're going to talk today a little bit
0:41.2	about crisis management. And I think it's really important that we have enough tools in our little
0:48.8	toolbox of well-being, resources and practices and things that can help us when we're moving through
0:54.2	a hard time. So I'm going to share just a couple of things that I am making sure that I'm doing
0:59.5	right now to make it through this time. A couple of things I try to avoid and just some general
1:05.6	like little tips for how to make it through a crisis. Before we dive in, let's take a moment to tune

1:26.4	this is one of the things I'm going to share today. But I'm finding myself just with
1:30.5	eyes closed, hands to my heart so many times throughout the day, you know, I really try to return
1:37.7	to these small brief moments of just connecting to my heart, just tapping into the breath, even if it's
1:45.3	10 seconds, you know. So if you want, place your hand to your heart center right now, just right
1:50.8	in the middle of the chest and make a real connection there. And I mean, a really real connection.
1:57.1	You can even just gently press the tips of the fingers into the chest, move your hand around a
2:02.5	little bit, kind of like you're saying, I'm right here, you know, I'm right here. It's a little
2:09.7	reminder that we actually live from this place, you know, we feel from this place, we breathe from
