Elizabeth Cush on Taking Time to Reset

If your life is all about busy-ness, you may be losing touch with you. In this episode of Woman Worriers, host Elizabeth Cush talks about Being instead of Doing.

It can take time to be OK with not doing.
— Elizabeth Cush

Show Notes:

Are your days rich and full, or are they just busy? Do you have so much to do that you don’t have time to just be? So many of us get caught up in always doing for others that we lost touch with who we are and what we need—and we don’t leave ourselves the time we need to get in touch with those answers. The good news is, it doesn’t have to be that way. In this week’s episode of the Woman Worriers podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, talks about the need for down time. She shares about her experiences as a highly sensitive person and a trauma survivor who can easily be triggered and how she has learned to get grounded. She also offers a guided meditation designed to help you take time to reset and start to learn how to feel comfortable with becoming quiet within yourself.
