Mindfulness & Meditation:

• You can do anything for 3 minutes, right? I like to start small with anything. If I bite off more than I can chew, sometimes I’ll become disheartened and give up. But 3 minutes is nothing, right?! I spend longer than that staring into my refrigerator trying to decide what I’m going to eat!
• So spend 3 minutes on yourself, just 3 minutes! You can thank me later.
