Have you ever been UNABLE to make a decision, only to realize you’re hungry or tired? You are definitely not alone, and it happens to us all a lot more than we’d like.
In this episode, we explore the importance of physiological factors, such as hunger and sleep, and how they impact our ability to trust ourselves. We discuss how our bodies work when they are hungry and tired (or don’t work, for that matter), and how we can maintain a foundation of wellness through Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. The conversation emphasizes practical strategies for decision-making under stress and the power of self-talk in fostering authenticity and self-acceptance.
And don’t you forget to do your homework! Leave a review, comment on social media or leave us a message and tell us how it went. (You’ll have to listen to figure out what your homework is).
