Are we caring too much about the wrong things?
If 5000 people click on your website, but no one buys your product is that a success story? This is the idea behind Vanity Metrics. It’s not only something we do in our business. When it comes to our life, Vanity Metrics are data we gather, which boosts our ego but doesn’t really better our life. Would you care if you didn’t want to compare?

Party for one? Yes pls
This episode is a guided meditation for anyone with zero plans, either today or any day. There’s a saying in meditation circles: "If you understand who you are, then even when you are alone it’s a party. If you don’t understand your reality, even in a party you feel lonely." So, we’re going to crank some music and celebrate YOU. Because, you are the MVP of your life.

What the research says about how we breathe
Research shows that breathing through your nose can have a lot of benefits. In meditation, a lot of breathing techniques are done through your nose, and that’s for a reason. Nose breathing forces you to slow down your breath. That’s why, nasal breathing is a great pre-sleep activity. Take a few moments before you Netflix and Chill to try this breathing practice on for size.
