It’s a busy life. There are people moving in and out of your day. There are interruptions, activity, noise, and technology all around you. Do you ever feel it’s hard to be 100% human?
You might feel hurried, stressed, or overwhelmed. Even if you’re healthily busy, going about your daily routines at home or at work, most days there’s at least one point where you seem to disappear.
To be 100% human, you need to make time and space for your physical self, your thoughts, your feelings and your sensations.
For at least a short while every day, surround yourself with you, and the people and things that are important to you.
