2019 has started off to be quite the swine 🐖 for some close friends and family. I thought it would be beneficial to share a recent Tools for Self Care sketchnote, for those moments when you need to STOP throughout your day.
Stop
Take a Breath
Observe within you and around you
Proceed Thoughtfully
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our power to choose our response.”
