In this third installment of the "How to Take Care of Yourself" series, Erin explores how curiosity can be a gentle, accessible tool for wellness that doesn't require a life overhaul. Whether you're ready to embrace change or feeling too depleted to add one more thing to your to-do list, this episode offers simple ways to replace judgment with curiosity.
In Medium Lady Talks Episode 134:- Why we default to judgment instead of curiosity when we're depleted
- The science behind how curiosity opens pathways that self-criticism closes
- A simple three-step framework for staying curious even during challenging times
- Practical exercises including the 5-Minute Curiosity Break and "What If?" Reframe
- How curiosity connects to naming your needs (from Episode 133)
Curiosity is a practice, not a one-time solution. Even just one curious thought today counts! Remember, we're not doing a life overhaul; we're making tiny shifts that add up over time.
