Meditation: Emotion Exploration

In this episode I will talk all about "Receiving Boundaries", or the boundaries that help us process and respond to information that is coming in. I'll discuss what these boundaries are, why we need them, and some foundational skills to help you practice them!    Check out my links for more related content: Website: www.kaylaestenson.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/kaylaestensonwellness Soothing Perfectionism Workbook: https://kewgroundandgrow.thinkific.com/courses/soothing-perfectionism-workbook

Strengthening our "Receiving Boundaries"

In this episode, we will talk about ways that many of us may jump into crisis mode when someone else is in distress. We will explore why this may show up for us, how we can start to notice this more, and skills that we can practice to honor the boundaries we are allowed to have around others' emotions.   Check out my links for more related content: Website: www.kaylaestenson.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/kaylaestensonwellness Soothing Perfectionism Workbook: https://kewgroundandgrow.thinkific.com/courses/soothing-perfectionism-workbook

Is it actually your crisis?

To all my people-pleasers: tune in. Your compassion gets to have boundaries, and in fact, it's healthy to have boundaries for your compassion. In this episode I will talk about what means to be compassionate, what it means to be nice, how sometimes we are both of these things, and how sometimes it's important to be compassionate without being nice.   Check out my links for more related content: Website: www.kaylaestenson.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/kaylaestensonwellness Soothing Perfectionism Workbook: https://kewgroundandgrow.thinkific.com/courses/soothing-perfectionism-workbook

You don't have to be nice to be compassionate

Let's slow it down.    So often we are flying from task to task and aren't present in our own experience. This meditation will give you a nice pause to check-in and re-set for the rest of your day.    Check out my links for more related content: Website: www.kaylaestenson.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/kaylaestensonwellness Soothing Perfectionism Workbook: https://kewgroundandgrow.thinkific.com/courses/soothing-perfectionism-workbook    

Meditation: Pause and Check-in

Are you feeling burnt out with everything on your plate? It's probably because there is just too much on your plate.   In this episode, I will talk about how it's common for us to have overly high expectations of ourselves, and that in many ways, society has overly high expectations of all of us humans. We will explore some room for boundaries as well as how to be a little more gentle with yourself in the process.    Check out my links for more related content: Website: www.kaylaestenson.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/kaylaestensonwellness Soothing Perfectionism Workbook: https://kewgroundandgrow.thinkific.com/courses/soothing-perfectionism-workbook
