Stress Therapy with Cheri Flake: Meditation & Stress Relief for Real Life27 Sep 2022

Be Nice To Yourself...And Everything Changes

Sometimes we stress ourselves out by talking to ourselves so unkindly and the kicker is…we might not even be aware that we are doing it! Learn how to replace that self-defeating voice in your head with some positivity and kindness only because it’s true, it will make your life way easier and you will feel better.

In this episode we will learn:
~Why talking to ourselves kindly helps our mood
~Why berating yourself never ever works
~How to talk to yourself in a kind way (even if you think it’s cheesy!)
~The mantra Om Namah Shivaya

Quotes:
“Be as nice to you as you would be to your bestie.” -Cheri Augustine Flake

‘Listening to what you say to your dog, that is what you would like to hear…and what do we say to our dog? What does everyone say to their dog? You are so GOOD!” -Cheri Augustine Flake
