Hej Jag missar tyvärr kvällens samtal då jag har min son den här veckan och det krockar med aktiviteter/middag etc. Men nästa vecka ser jag fram emot att vara med :) Hade jag varit med idag så hade jag tänkt fråga eller komma med önskemål Thomasine om en kortare (typ 7,8 min) meditation för morgon och kväll för att grunda och sätta lite intention för dagen samt varva ner för kvällen. Älskar meditationerna i första veckan och jag tänker som komplement och något kortare just för morgon / kväll. Är det något du har på lager som jag missat i någon av dina kanaler :) eller om det planeras för framtida ljudinspelningar så är det ett litet önskemål. Älskar ju din lugnande och behagliga röst och bakgrundsmusik så det är därför jag cravar det! 👍👌 Kram S

@Thomasine Wrede Since it’s recommended not to drink coffee on an empty stomach, does this also apply to cacao and matcha?? 🍃 🍵

Following up from our coaching session last week about perfectionism or sky-high standards hindering action-taking; boundary-setting; and breaking free from limiting beliefs about ourselves amongst other things - I wanted to share this podcast tip that offered lots of insights on the same topics. Listen to the conversation between Emma Grede & Dr. Thema Bryant here. & then return to this post to check out these KEY INSIGHTS from the episode: - 🧩 Healing is foundational, not optional, for a fulfilled and successful life. Without addressing unresolved trauma and limiting beliefs, individuals are likely to remain stuck, running from pain or self-sabotaging. This healing journey is ongoing, requires courage, and often necessitates professional therapy or supportive environments (like the R2T community/coaching). It is not about perfection but about embracing wholeness. 🧠 Unpacking core beliefs and childhood stories reveals self-limiting patterns: Many behaviours that hold people back—eg procrastination, conflict avoidance, low self-esteem... —are rooted in childhood messages absorbed from parents, teachers, and peers. These “lies” or negative stories shape how we see ourselves. Recognising and rewriting these narratives through techniques like narrative therapy can empower individuals to reclaim agency and redefine their identity (as learnt in R2T). 😨 Fear of failure and success often paralyse progress: Fear is a powerful force that manifests in different ways, including perfectionism, procrastination, and controlling behaviours. Dr. Brian recommends visualisation (as learnt in R2T) and exposure techniques to imagine the worst-case scenario and see oneself surviving it, which can desensitize the fear and build resilience. Recognizing fear as a natural response to the unknown allows for more intentional risk-taking. ❤️‍🩹 Trauma influences emotional regulation and trust, impacting relationships and workplace dynamics: Trauma overwhelms coping capacity and can produce hypervigilance, difficulty trusting others, and emotional volatility. In the workplace, trauma or stressors such as layoffs or lack of transparency exacerbate anxiety and reduce psychological safety. Leaders must practice self-compassion, acknowledge mistakes, and foster open communication to create healthier environments.

- WORK & IDENTITY: We discussed a common theme - trying different health-promoting routines but falling out of them due to heavy workload- especially the invisible work we do that still takes time & energy (both in workplace + at home as women as we talk about in the course). During vacation or anytime we have more space to reflect, we may realise that: “you are not your job, I don’t want to identify with my job, my body is trying to communicate something with me through its symptoms - listen to it”. - BOUNDARIES & COMMUNICATION: The learnings in R2T incl. settIng boundaries - first to yourself & then to others around you - is a first step in turning realisations into —> changed behaviours —> new reality. - HOW you communicate your boundaries is almost more important than WHAT you say - be ready to communicate differently depending on the receiver - SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE. E.g. a workplace likely wants objective data/examples of how your workload doesn’t add up with the time available + rather than complaining with no solution - create a case, clarify that they get more out of you by changing your work conditions, ask them to help you do a better job - whereas in a personal relationship you can rely more on how a situation makes you FEEL (more subjective, although objective examples can also help to back up your case). - If you don’t see any improvements after setting boundaries - ask yourself: can I change myself in this context, or do I need to change the environment? You may need to remove yourself completely if you see no improvement, and accept this. - If you struggle to set boundaries e.g. in the workplace - make it less about you and more about the people walking in your footsteps who you’re helping. - STRESS & BALANCE: The journey often goes stress → drained → isolated → questioning everything. Funnily enough - this negative spiral can come at both extremes of the spectrum, neither will be health-promoting - either: Having too much free-time/less purposeful work → procrastination & not feeling fulfilled, inefficiency, craving more structure & discipline, disappointment with oneself OR having too little free time → inadequacy, nervous system dysregulation, isolation/overwhelm/shutdown, disappointment with oneself etc. So we often link productivity to stress, where two extremes show up: stressed when there’s too little to do, and stressed when there’s too much to do. We wanna return to a middle ground and remind ourselves daily that PRODUCTIVITY ≠ (negative) STRESS.
