Self Development Basics

Self Development Basics

Make this your season of change with these essential listens for wellness and success.
Sometimes the best way to move forward is to get back to basics—revisit the advice that you thought you already knew and see if you’re actually taking it. It’s not as simple as it seems to eat right, go outside, get some sleep, or remember that “you are special,” which is why sometimes these are just the words we need to hear.

America’s favorite Buddhist nun, Pema Chödrön’s message is loud and clear: treating symptoms of discomfort isn’t the same thing as curing what’s causing your pain.
