Today as I do every year. I want to take a look at setting goals, new year's resolutions, all of those things that we do where we look back at the past year, and then we look forward to the next year and ask ourselves what is it that we want to do differently? And in today's podcast, I want to just put this out there, goal setting and choosing New Year's resolutions is a complete waste of time and I'm going to tell you why.

Donna Phillips is passionate about bringing trauma release exercise to the world as a way to safely self regulate stress tension and trauma. We're going to learn a little bit more about what trauma release exercise is,  what it does for the body, how it can help us connect and reestablish a friendly relationship within ourselves and safely down regulate the nervous system, so that we can really experience our lives to the fullest.

In this episode we go beyond habit change and explore what it takes to disrupt the patterns (samskaras) that we hold to keep us safe. We develop patterns of movement, thought and emotion to keep ourselves safe. It's those patterns that run beneath all our behaviors and habits. If we want to change anything we need to start by disrupting those patterns.
