Are you feeling the rush of the holiday season creeping up on you? Is end-of-year burnout starting to creep in? Are you feeling resentful with the life you chose?
In this episode of the Transform with Travel podcast, I sit down with Claire Thomas, founder of Reaching My Best, and one of the few certified mental fitness coaches in the UK.
We discuss the timely topic of feeling “stuck” in your life, cultivating mental resilience and unlocking your full potential through mindfulness, meditation and travel.
Travel offers unique opportunities to practice mindfulness. But how can we ensure we're truly present? Claire suggests simple strategies like removing digital distractions and embracing the local culture with curiosity.
As you navigate your holiday travel, I offer a simple yet powerful tip for staying grounded when you feel uneasy or anxious. Stay tuned for the end of the episode for that!
