Meditation makes us calm and grounded. When we do it regularly, our brains literally change so calm becomes our default state of being.

Learning a couple pf breathing techniques to have in your back pocket will prepare you for those inevitable tough times. You can also practice when you’re not stressed and it will have a lovely, positive impact.

Allowing your mind to just be here now is an amazing tool that brings calm and perspective.

Mindfulness simply means being fully aware of your thoughts and actions. This can be done formally, like meditation, or informally throughout your day when you choose to drop into presence.

Set an intention, find your motivation, set yourself up for success and reward yourself for your efforts. A little a day adds up to big change.

Conflict is unavoidable but it doesn’t have to be awful. While we can’t control what other do we can control our responses. With a plan in place to navigate conflict, it can actually create deeper relationships.
