I began meditating a little over a year ago and while I do not do it as often as I would like, I have noticed a difference in myself and my perspective on the world  when I meditate. There are so many benefits to taking these few minutes to quiet you mind that I truly believe meditation can help anyone. 1. Meditation has been proven to reduce stress and increase relaxation.  As American's we are conditioned to work hard and be responsible. We put a lot of pressure and stress on ourselves through work, school and just living life. People from other countries say that we do not know to relax.

The past couple weeks have been extremely challenging for me personally and professionally on my path to my career. The responsibilities of life can be overwhelming at times.

The theme for February as we all know it as Love. My boss has proposed a February Challenge of "28 days of loving yourself." In this challenge she suggested doing three sun salutations, a series of yoga moves displayed below, everyday for the entire month of February. I began practicing yoga over a year ago due to a back injury and fell in love with the practice. It is a complete exercise for your mind, body and spirit. Yoga is proven to not only help with physical aliments but decreases stress and increase self awareness. Needless to say over the past month and a half I have abandoned my practice. Consequently, I took this challenge wholeheartedly. On day two of the challenge, I realized I did not know how much my body missed yoga. This month I challenge you to do something for yourself that will help show you love yourself whether that be three sun salutations a day, performing daily meditation, going to your favorite place or spending time doing something that feeds your s...
