This connects your spirit and mind to the realities of your world, promoting that balance you need to take on the stressors of life.
Devote part of your morning routine to aligning these energies within you. It is important for a full and constructive life to find your center and let it be a source of strength! Use meditation, yoga, and gratitude to get you into that state of being that will help you find and maintain that strength.
