What began as a method of coping gradually evolved into a way of living, empowering her to build ...

RT Kash (🐱, 🐐) (@kashdhanda)today is my 35th birthday, so here are 35 things I’d recommend to anyone:- Take less melatonin. The actual effective dose is closer to 0.5mg, not the 5mg that some pills advertise.- Do 6 cycles of 4-7-8 breathing before you speak in public to bring your heart rate down by ~10 bpm.- Buy little chocolates for your house. When you have people visiting overnight, put the chocolates on their pillows. Tiny money spent, gets a big smile every time.- Use text replacement shortcuts (e.g. ...

[Music] Namaste to one and all. Namaste is the Anjeli mudra in yoga. And when we bring our hands together in this fashion with the tips of our fingers touching each other, we activate the nerve centers of our brain and raise the level of receptivity, joy, awareness for the people around us and the environment around us.Most importantly, namaste helps us dissolve the ego. So I think this is the most profound and apt manner for me to begin my address on this fantastic riveting intriguing topic titled mental f ...
