Pillar 4

Mindfulness & Serenity

Serenity is the oasis in the middle of the “busy-ness”. It is the place where we can re-charge before heading back into the rush. Serenity is not something you should dream of having; it is very accessible.

Stressful events occur so often that they lead us to have reactions occurring outside of our awareness until we notice them because of physical, emotional or psychological dysfunctions. Responses may include tension, painful emotional states, panic and depression, habits of negative thinking, or toxic self-criticism.

Stop glorifying of being “busy”. It’s time to DO LESS and BE MORE.
