Mindful Mondays|Week 2: Balance

Trauma Survivorhood

01/10/22 • 7 min

Balance is critical in our busy days of going and doing. Finding space for staying and being is life-giving rest, even if for only a few moments. Creating balances in areas in your life where you most need it is possible. Small changes can make all the difference in shifting the pendulum swing and finding centeredness even in the most hectic times.
