Winter Wellness

Build authentic optimism. Pessimism drains energy and makes it impossible to change. A fake optimism would be pretending everything is positive when it's not. Authentic, true optimism comes from understanding what we can change and making an effort to do so. In this talk, we will see how to use meditation to tap into this happy, peaceful feeling and how to use it to uplift the mind to an encouraged, hopeful, and energized place. Everyone is welcome!
