406: Act As If: How to Stop Surviving and Start Thriving Through Habits, Thoughts, & Meditation with Katie Krimitsos

Still suffering from the holiday blues? Is anxiety and depression holding you back from living the life of your dreams?  What if a simple age-old practice could change everything? That's right, we're talking about meditation. Specifically, The Women's Meditation Network and how Katie Krimitsos created a meditation empire that can help you heal - emotionally, physically, and spiritually. Anxiety and depression are two of the most widespread mental health issues faced by people today. They can be overwhelming and make it difficult to live a happy and fulfilling life. Fortunately, meditation is an ancient practice that can help you overcome these challenges and promote overall health and wellbeing. The history of meditation dates back thousands of years, with its roots in ancient India. Over time, it has been adopted by different cultures and religions, each adapting it in their own unique way. Today, meditation is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, and there are numerous forms of meditation available, including mindfulness meditation, loving-kindness meditation, and body scan meditation. Meditation has been scientifically proven to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. By slowing down the activity of the mind and body, meditation can help reduce stress and anxiety, while also increasing feelings of happiness and wellbeing. These positive effects can counteract the negative effects of depression and lead to improved mental health. In addition to its mental health benefits, meditation has also been shown to have positive effects on physical health. It can help reduce pain, lower blood pressure, improve heart health, and enhance sleep. By promoting physical and mental wellness, meditation can help individuals live healthier lives. Katie Krimitsos is a leading advocate for meditation and its many benefits. Through her podcasts, Katie provides women with resources and guidance to help them incorporate meditation into their daily routines. Katie encourages people to "act as if" they already have what they want to manifest in their lives, and helps them not just survive, but thrive in all areas of their lives. Thank You to Our Sponsors!
