On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I talk about the importance of preparing for both external and internal "weather systems" in life.
Just like meteorologists can predict storms, allowing us to get ready for what’s to come, we can also prepare for the emotional and spiritual challenges that arise unexpectedly.
I share how tools like yoga, meditation, and mantras - can help us learn how to slow down our fearful reactions and instead, respond from a place of love. Because that’s where our true power is.
I’ve found that building a Daily Spiritual Practice (DSP) is crucial for strengthening our "attitudinal muscles", and it helps us to find balance when life gets turbulent.
Having a supportive community, like the amazing group in The Nest, can also provide invaluable guidance, connection, and resources during difficult times.
Just as we train our physical bodies for things like marathons, I emphasize the importance of training our minds, alongside our spiritual and emotional selves.
By proactively building resilience and resources now, we can be better equipped to handle whatever life throws our way.
Whether it's a sudden loss, a health crisis, or navigating the uncertain crazy stresses of life.
The key is to start preparing today, even in small ways – by doing things like setting aside some emergency savings, maintaining our physical fitness, developing relationships, and cultivating practices that nourish our body, heart, mind, and spirit.
With the right tools and solid support, we can weather both the known and unknown storms and show up as our best selves, no matter what challenges may arise.
