When did it become embarrassing to be joyful? Why are we all in a rush? Why does it feel so awkward to want connection, and smile at people and be HAPPY?! Why does seeking connection feel like such a terrifyingly vulnerable thing? In today’s episode I discuss my fascination with LINGERING, and how practising it intentionally in small moments of my life - pausing to notice the flowers, smiling at someone in the queue or simply not using my phone while waiting for my coffee - has opened up portals of magic and awe in my life ✨💫 I believe that the discomfort we feel in moments of social awkwardness and cringe are actually thresholds that our souls need to cross and expand beyond - in order to evolve ⭐️ This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and remember - THE LONGER YOU LINGER, THE DEEPER THE MAGIC 💫💫 …… Please leave us a REVIEW and rate our show if you loved this episode! 🌟 Follow me on Instagram @florencegiven Follow the podcast @theflorencegivenshow Buy my NEW BOOK here: https://linktr.ee/womenlivingdeliciously Watch + join the comment section on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCleWTyiVjNlDMyFHsoLlRHQ Created By Florence Given Directed and Creatively Produced by Florence Given Produced by Kate Downey Video Editing by Mika Bryony See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
