Enhance Your Self-Worth for a More Fulfilling Life
Self-worth is a multidimensional aspect of our lives that profoundly impacts our self-confidence, decision-making and the thoughts we empower. By cultivating awareness, we can enrich our sense of self and experience greater richness in life, making it more fulfilling in the process. While confidence encompasses various areas, let's focus on an essential aspect: the first two hours of your day.

Striving Toward Non-Striving with Mindfulness and Awareness
How do we know when to act and when to let go? When to push for something, whether it’s toward a goal, an achievement, an aspiration, and when to relax and find ease? As humans we are conditioned to stay busy. When we are not doing anything we feel like we are wasting a day. For example, we work so hard to be able to go on vacation and take mental breaks, yet as quickly as we get time away, we feel guilty or uncomfortable doing nothing. When we are not moving, are minds are busier than ever searching for what we could do to feel “productive.” How do we know when to move and when to just be? Mindfulness training and awareness are the keys to finding balance between striving and non-striving.
