Head. Desk. Lift. Head. Desk. Repeat.
As promised, this book includes 101 mindful ways to build resilience. They include 'stoplight meditation' and 'mental flossing.'
This book and so many others are based on the argument that if we just think differently - we can be different. If we can just take one more cleansing breath, we will feel so much better about our lives.
I wish a cleaning breath could transform our working and personal lives. Sadly, oxygen supply is the least of our worries.
