About This Tool

A perfect tool to enhance awareness of the signals of sadness for you and how to take care of them the best you can at that moment

Sadness tells us that we had something beautiful in the past that is no longer in our lives right now.

It gives us clarity in the values and needs in your life and if we can listen and act on it, we can live our lives more authentically and connect our actions to them.

The first step is to become aware of these subtle signals of sadness, so we can fine-tune our needs to them.

 

This tool will help you to:

Become more attuned with the signals of your body, mind and energy

Get in touch with your feelings and feel confident handling them

Gain control of your life in order to handle the ups-and-downs of life

Embrace and take care of sadness

Acting more out of self-love and compassion
