Stillness. Meditation.

Can you feel the increase in stress?

I know at my house there is more stress.  Trying to figure out a schedule, keeping kids active, taking time for yourself, working from home, navigating the grocery store,  and the list goes on! 

I recently finished the book Stillness is the Key by Ryan Holliday. The big take away is we need to slow down, take more walks, and learn how to open our mind.  

The Corona virus has forced us all to slow down.  We are not rushing to sporting events, school events, or out to eat.  Slowing down is very difficult, but possible. 

What a great time of year to get outside walking.  The weather is warming, birds are chirping, and the sun can be seen! I know there are more people walking as I am seeing new faces go by my house every day.  To me walking has always helped get my ideas flowing and helped me relax.  

Lastly, something which has helped me open my mind is meditation.  Just this year I started my meditation practice, wow, what a difference!  I use Dr. Joe Dispenza's water rising meditation.  In the beginning it was challenging to slow down my thoughts.  The longer I practice the more I get out of it.  To help you get started I have made a simple meditation infographic.  Please click the link below.

Hope this gives you some tools to help manage stress!
