On transitioning from a busy career to retirement, self-doubt, stopping the overthinking mind, and reflections on healing and finding balance

The Finding Sessions

Send us a text

In this episode, I share my personal experience (so far) about transitioning to retirement, managing some health issues, and my discovery that my overthinking mind was in more control than I realized. I had no idea that my plans to spend my newfound time with relaxation, creativity and healing were being impaired by my thinking/logical mind, which was always in overdrive. Learning and knowing about the value of mindfulness, meditation and finding presence is one thing, but learning how to practice it, to still my mind, is yet another. I share my thoughts in discovering a new way to start healing, followed by a meditation to help calm an overthinking mind.
I hope you enjoy it.
