Please, remember it’s not about getting it perfect. We all have days when doing something about mental/emotional state is the last thing we think about. No problem. What really matters is increasing the number of times you recognize yourself going where you don’t want to go and then doing something about it one more time today than you did yesterday. After all, just one extra shift to a peaceful, loving, resourceful state a day can save a lot of wear and tear on your mind/body.
