Mindfulness is a favorite of mine and it takes different shapes at different times for me. It could be noticing elements in nature on an afternoon walk that helps me to feel closer to and in awe of my creator or it could be the recitation of scriptures or prayers that bring me peace and comfort. I value self-care, especially practical self-care skills that allow me to better manage my time, goals and life\u2019s demands. There are other go to \u201ctools\u201d that I like as well.
