Steady Breaths

One of my favourite parts of the say is when I make myself a coffee. I go through the steps on making the coffee and looking after the machine in the process. Take a break from things and just listen to me making a coffee.

The "Check Engine Light" is a common analogy used when talking about mental health. Here's my opinion on it, and how I see my own mental health.

It sucks, but maybe this is a tool you can use to help you when you feel like this.

I think it's only fair to disclose this is an April Fools joke seeing the day has passed now. Who knows, though, maybe you'll find peace in listening to the misfortunes of this 'guided meditation'.
