You're stacking it on and stacking it on and then one magical day, you're just brushing your chomps, you're just sitting down to meditate, you're just showing up at the gym. It really is an easy and magical way to get that new habit into your life.”-Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSW Interesting mentions: Atomic Habits by James ClearThe Secrets of Meditation by davidji The Host for this podcast: Cheri Augustine Flake, LCSW The Stress Therapist and Author Twitter: @stresstherapyInstagram: @thestresstherapist Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cheriaugustineflake)Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cheri-augustine-flake-719b044) Website: https://thestresstherapist.com/)YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/thestresstherapist) Stay in touch with Cheri: https://thestresstherapist.com/contact/) Join Cheri Flake on her next retreat! https://thestresstherapist.com/retreats/) https://thestresstherapist.com/beach-retreats/) Want Cheri Flake to be your therapist?
