How I Balance it All:
Meditation has been a game changer for me lately. 7 minutes in the morning (5 seemed too short and 10 minutes seemed too long) gets me centered and focused; it allows me to start the day fully present. I actually tried not meditating for a few days just to see if I would notice the difference and boy did I ever. I’ve become such a big believer that I’m trying to get my husband in on the routine with me.
