Nice video about this thing called meditation. It’s good to remember that washing a dish, toilet or litter box mindfully counts as practice!

Good medicine without medication! If anxiety and depression are part of your curriculum, please watch the video, practice on your own and report back 😉🙏🏼.

Stanford Medicine researchers showed that five minutes a day of breathing exercises can reduce overall anxiety and improve mood.

Powerful tools that have served me well in the past. I’m committed to practicing them more in the transitional year ahead!

Love the insight one Club Mindful participant shared just now: “The mind is scamming us when incessantly ruminating on something negative - polluting the wonderful reality of the present moment.”
