ADVICE

Keep Retreat Gains With Small Daily Habits

Spend short daily practices (stretching, breath, stillness) to carry retreat gains into real life.
Use simple rituals you can maintain instead of overwhelming, time-consuming practices.

ADVICE

Use Questions To Reveal What Holds You Back

Ask the right questions to help people see what they're holding onto and what no longer serves them.
Replace old 'toasters' with better tools instead of trying to endlessly fix the broken ones.
