Start here. Let’s do this together.
Lately, I’m noticing my thoughts zipping and pinging madly—much like a tennis match. When I get distracted, off-center and spread too thin, I know that’s a sign to pause, take a deep breath and check-in. More than any other practice, the art/science of self-care and taking time to attune to what we most need—is the fastest way to find our center. Watch a two-minute video chat with my friends at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health on the importance of self-care in uncertain times:

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You are the beloved. ~ Buddha
