I’m so happy to finally be back at blogging. It’s been almost two weeks, which is way too long. My non-blogging job is incredibly stressful, and this blog has been an amazing escape from that.
For people who have high-stress jobs, how do you cope on a daily basis? I use meditation to help myself prepare for the day ahead. Got any tips? Let me know in the comments.
