We cover the following topics (and more!) in this week's episode: What Tanja learned about wholistic health from her experiences with pistol shootingHow she used to think about health as eating habits, exercise, and mindset, and how she considers several other key factors that have made a huge difference for herTangible tips to get out of shame-based thoughts related to body or otherwise “I used to pistol shoot, and I never looked at the target. I focused on my stance, I focused on my breath, I did this great meditation practice at the line, but I didn’t look at the target. And until you let the shot go and pull it back and you see where you’re at, THEN you make some tweaks…but you can’t control what happens out there. All you can control is what’s happening here and that’s so important because when you start to focus on that, you start to build more trust within yourself.”Tanja Shaw Want To Support Local Bookstores Near You?
