Week 6 - changing habits
We carry with us, from one day to the next, our old baggage of who we think we are. Learned patterns of behaviour and emotional reaction get hardwired into our brain and body, so that responses become automated.
The good news is that each day, and every moment, is an opportunity to start creating new, more relevant and compassionate responses.
