In this episode of Stress Therapy, host Cheri Flake introduces a simple yet transformative concept inspired by Bill O’Hanlon’s book Do One Thing Different. She explains how making small changes in daily routines can improve brain flexibility, reduce stress, and foster personal growth. Cheri guides listeners through a calming breathwork practice, offering a practical tool to cultivate inner peace and mindfulness.
In this episode we will cover:
~How small changes in routine can enhance neuroplasticity, improve mood, and reduce stress.
~Practical examples of “doing one thing different,” like brushing with your non-dominant hand or shifting the order of daily habits.
~Guided Ujjayi breathwork to calm the mind and create a peaceful, centered state.
