"It's true what they say about waking up early to own the day. I've been waking up early at 5:00 am, meditating, journaling, and then reading inspirational quotes. When I don't start my day with meditation, my whole day feels off. Meditation starts my whole day off right." ~Steve, Chicago, USA   Welcome to a week of ultimate self-care. This week, you'll be guided on a journey to nourish your mind, body, and soul. Consider what you need most in your life right now and create slow-down rituals for self-care. In each episode, you'll be guided with meditations that relax your mind and body.   You're invited to join our 3 Best Quest by doing three self-care rituals every day. Consider the kind of self-care you need most in your life and weave three daily rituals into your life.

This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, Ultimate Self-Care Journey, episodes 2446-2452.
