Feeling Stressed? Try This Simple Meditation Exercise at Home!

This exercise is designed to take you out of autopilot and truly ground you in the present.

Time is the most precious thing we will ever have, and we do well to treat it as such.

This article describes what the flow state is and explores some of the possible connections between CBD and flow states.
