Awareness Is Necessary for Change
Episode 12 season 6: Biz Cush on Awareness as the First Step
If you’re trying to make progress but don’t feel like you’re getting anywhere, don’t be discouraged. Listen to this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast as host Elizabeth Cush talks about the role of awareness in changing our behavior and our lives.
“Building awareness is like building muscle. As your awareness muscle grows, you’ll be able to handle more, you’ll be able to make different choices, and you’ll begin to grow those new neural pathways.”
Show Notes:
Where are you in your journey? Do you get discouraged when you find yourself falling into the same old traps over and over? Do you beat yourself up for what seems like a lack of progress? Do you get frustrated by living in your own personal Groundhog Day? Don’t give up. You might be better off than you realize. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and soul support for highly sensitive women, talks about awareness as the first step in any healing journey. She explains how awareness opens the door for change and provides some tools to help you enhance your awareness. She also offers a simple breath awareness exercise to help you be more present and in touch with the way your feelings show up in your body.
