      @petrakmetec 3 місяці тому

      @@LauraWest-b2d hi Laura. If your nose is congested, you can try neti pot. It is commonly used in a practice known as nasal irrigation, where a saline solution is poured into one nostril and allowed to flow out of the other to help clear nasal passages. Or if there are some physical barriers, go and see a otolaryngologist for a solution.

      You know, this is a common problem. First ask yourself what is holding you back and what do you gain with not following through? What deeper need are you fulfilling with not executing your plans? And when you have those answers, you can make a strategy, that is more holistic and personalized for your needs.
