November 17, 2024 • Valerie Mekki • Episode 79

It’s been a week! Now that the dust has settled from the election, it’s time to take care of ourselves, so we can continue to focus what truly matters. We don't have control over life's chaos, but we do have the ability to stand firmly in the midst of it all and be grounded, present in the moment with clarity and focus, even when life is spinning around us. Discover the power of grounding practices in this episode of Mindful Life changes (formerly known as the Mindful Career Change podcast). Join host Valerie Mekki, a career change counselor, as she shares essential techniques for finding clarity, reducing stress, and staying centered during life's whirlwinds. Learn how to reconnect with the present moment through 'Grounding' and the '54321' method, no matter where you are.

In this episode, learn why grounding is an essential tool for whatever circumstances or life changes you’re going through. Find out how it can reduce stress, enhance emotional regulation, and boost your decision-making skills. Stay ahead of life's twists and turns with these simple yet powerful practices and embark on a path to a more balanced, focused, and resilient you.

Formerly known as the "Mindful Career Change Podcast," I decided to broaden our conversation to cover all life transitions, not just our careers.
