What a blessing, thank you Reena. May you enjoy many blessings and abundance!
Namaste!
It was hard at first to let go of the “I’m supposed to” mindset but at the end I was able to. The comfort phrase was important to me. Thank you

I have been struggling lately with continuing to meet the needs of others while not receiving much external support. I had begun to feel down and withdrawn, until I remembered I could offer myself some compassion. Today’s practice was much needed.
I believe that self-care is essential to continuing health, and too many people wait until they have symptoms of depression, anxiety, gut problems before pulling back on their professional duties. This courageous doc took early steps and out of that has learned and written to help those who are likely to before symptomatic. Thank you so much.
