Noise, haste, tension, anxiety, pressure from our surroundings and from ourselves. The sense of compulsion we feel. Limitations. Manipulations. An overwhelming flood of information, entertainment, offers, and good advice. The desire to take advantage of every opportunity. The persistent feeling that we are missing out. The necessity of making choices. Our minds are overloaded, unable to process information effectively, leading us into traps and failing to provide support. * How do we find our way through this overload? * How can we regain clarity? * How can we give ourselves a moment to breathe and gather our thoughts? * Where can we find relief, relaxation, and support? This webinar is about what **WE CAN DO** and the methods available to us—everyday practices accessible to everyone. We can introduce them into our lives immediately, if we choose to. It may also become an impulse for further exploration, opening ourselves to new qualities in our relationship with ourselves and the world. Perhaps you will begin to feel that change is possible? This will be a relaxed-paced webinar. I will share my insights, but I will also invite participants to experience firsthand what I talk about. **What should you prepare?** Ensure a comfortable environment: silence, a cozy place, warm clothing... I also encourage you to have a **sheet of paper** and your favorite **writing tool** ready to record your impressions, associations, and reflections in the traditional way—by hand on paper. **Speaker** **[Marta Ślusarska](https://www.linkedin.com/in/marta-%C5%9Blusarska-5101ba12/)**, Life Coach at **[Przestrzeni Serca](https://martaslusarska.pl/)** \- Professionally active for nearly 30 years, always connected with the customer service field. "My education trained me to rely on the mind, but my work required so-called soft skills as well. Roughly halfway through my journey, I realized I wasn't feeling good in my life. Then I made a fully conscious decision that I no longer wanted to remain the person I was at that time. And I embarked on a path of seeking change. After some time, I realized I couldn't achieve this transformation using only my intellect. I had long relied heavily on my mind, but eventually understood that this approach wouldn't get me where I wanted to go. I began searching for other paths to myself. I gathered experiences. I learned about myself in many different places. In 2020, I completed a year-long **life-coaching training**, followed by another year of practice and sessions preparing for **certification**. For two years, I hosted Open Listening Evenings. For the past three years, I have been co-leading meetings in a Circle for women and men.
