Stressing the body makes you stronger—as long as you have time to rest and recover.

Through the practice of meditation, there are certain changes that happen in the mind. One of the most important changes is that you become master of your mind.
Taking a few minutes to focus your mind each day can reduce stress, pain, depression, and more.
It can be tough enough to manage your own stress. But how can you, as a manager, help the members of your team handle their feelings of stress, burnout, or disengagement?
We all know that unmanaged stress can be destructive. But are there positive sides to stress as well?
If you approach your practice as a path of love, the rhythms of life will teach you moment by moment how to proceed. Each little discovery about what breathing feels like will give you more access to your inner life and the secret power of recovery built into your body.
Every day, we have to do the impossible. We have to submit to the magic reboot of sleep and then get up and line up all our selves into a unified being and get on with it. Nearly every day, new qualities of our selves come online to join in with all the others. This is a creative act.
Some people harbor the illusion that rest is a luxury they do not have time for, but the reality is that rest is a necessity.
Many of us have thought of or dreamed about leaving that job to pursue our dreams, maybe start a business, or pursue our passion. While there are practical issues to consider, we also need to overcome the inertia that comes with the fear we experience when taking a major new direction in our lives.
Sadness is a central part of our lives, yet it’s typically ignored at work, hurting employees and managers alike.
