Episode 190: Conflict Avoidance

Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls

Episode 177: Accept Yourself

Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls
Despite New Year being a time associated with making changes, today I want to talk about what seems at first like the opposite of change.
Although it might still be a change, and might even be the best one you could ever make. Because there are surprising benefits that come from accepting yourself as you are, in making the decision to not changing and instead enjoying being you in the first place.
