Now more than ever, we want ourselves and our people to be able to tap into our collective abilities to be resilient.🌼
Deepak Chopra, in his LinkedIn post, uses an apt metaphor to differentiate resilience from non-resilience: “in a storm, the grass bends with the wind while the mighty tree is blown over”.

To Do🧘: A mini guided meditation for you and your team
Sometimes it can seem like even a 5-minute break is impossible to take. Well, that’s also when you need that break the most. Any time you feel overwhelmed by life or work, here’s a quick 5-minute mindfulness exercise by Sharon Salzberg you can try.
