Today's meditation will help you leave stress and worry from your day behind. Perhaps try this meditation after work before you head into your evening hours. These ten minutes will allow you to connect to what's important and unwind. 

Every Monday in April I am sharing a 10 minute guided meditation for you to check out! As I have mentioned many times though-out the lifespan of this podcast, I am a big believer in meditation and all of its incredible benefits. It has personally helped me become a more present participant in my life, and allowed me to cope with stress as it comes in a way that serves my higher being and inner balance. I believe meditation is for everyone, and we should all carve time out of our days to connect deeper to self.

Please write a review if you enjoy the practice, and feel free to use this meditation on repeat as needed for an extra dose of self-love. xxVictoria
