A Short Video. Why the Canadian side of Niagara Falls is better than the U.S. side.  

During the Legislative Session, my stress coping skills were absolute trash.  In the morning, I ate donuts.  At night, I drank Bourbon.  Not exactly a health and sustainable practice.

So as we head back to the office or continue to trudge through the WFH life, I wanted to suggest an alternative to eating and drinking our collective feelings: at your desk meditation.

I recently started this quick, simple practice, and was surprised by how much it could re-center a stressful day.  If you have the ability to move around a bit, I recommend Sarah Beth Yoga’s Five-Minute Restorative Exercise.  If you need to stay seated, Goodful has a five-minute guided meditation that you can do anywhere.
