Looking to dig into your emotional world a little more in 2021? Many people (especially those who haven t yet been to therapy) have a hard time accessing emotions and identifying where certain things are coming from. Tinamarie Clark a model, mother, and now author wants to change that.
Clark created The Shift Stirrer Method as a way to access difficult emotions and defuse emotional triggers, and after using it herself for two decades, she s turned it into a workbook she s sharing with the masses.
What Is the Shift Stirrer Method, Exactly?
The Shift Stirrer Method uses Clark s personal five-step mindfulness method to transform negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs into more empowering ones. The whole goal is to inspire women to connect deeper to themselves and others, says Clark.

Luckily, society has moved on from long-standing, harmful terms such as bikini body,
finally recognizing that all human bodies are bikini bodies. And while we ve mostly put this kind of toxic terminology behind us, some dangerous words have stuck around, clinging to outdated perspectives on health. Example: bikini body s wintertime cousin holiday detox. Blech.
And despite what celebs such as Lizzo (and her recent smoothie detox) and the Kardashians (um, remember when Kim endorsed appetite-suppressing lollipops?) might post to social media, you don t need to detox from food be it Christmas cookies or a weeklong diet of comfort foods (thanks @ PMS) to be healthy.
