Welcome back to the “Hey, Wait” Podcast, hosted by embodiment coach, educator, and author Jay Moon Fields. Each episode we’ll be sharing stories, insights, interviews, and practical tools to help you shift how you show up in your relationships, and in your life.

 

In today’s episode, we are focusing on the first step in the 3 Step “Hey, Wait” Process… Noticing When You’re Having a Bad Experience of Yourself Around Someone Else.

 

In life we often go into autopilot mode. How many times have you driven home from work and totally forgot the entire drive once you’ve arrived? We often do the same thing when we’re having a conversation with others– totally forgetting to acknowledge the way that we’re feeling in our bodies throughout our interactions.

 

Step 1 of “Hey, Wait” starts by recognizing how you’re feeling. Take a moment. Connect. Breathe. By focusing inward as you carry on throughout your day and throughout your interactions with others, you are strengthening your neural pathways, bit by bit.
