How to de-stress and unwind after a tough day

unwind after a tough day

I’ve been an old soul since I was a baby. Or so my mom says. My dad, who is the type of man who can fix pretty much anything, was running an auto repair shop when I was little.

How to bring more mindfulness into your life

How to bring more mindfulness into your life

“Surrender to what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be.” ~ Sonia Ricotti I’ve been on a mindfulness “journey”, for lack of a better word, for a few years now. I used to be the person who’d stress and worry about everything. I found it difficult to be still, to be present. If I wasn’t thinking about the past, I was feeling anxious about the future. Then, one day, I asked myself: “where have all…
