Fav quotes from this episode:

In this episode we talk about:

The importance of proverbs as we navigate life
How meditation, reading, walking in nature or other activities of quiet contemplation can help you ground yourself and restore inner peace.
How introducing children to meditation can help them to relieve stress, manage emotions and understand who they are.
Why it’s important to persist with meditation, even if it doesn’t feel comfortable, and to trial different forms of meditation to find the one that works for you.

Plus, we discuss the fact that no one has 100% confidence – everyone has wobbles, and that sometimes these ‘wobbles’ can help to keep us in check, and hold us back from arrogance.
