60 Mindful Minutes

Summary: Find your center. Master your mind. We live a hurried, jam-packed life. We’re constantly in motion with a never-ending onslaught of distractions to occupy our minds and hearts. Tuning into ourselves has become nearly impossible. And yet, we all need stillness. It’s in the white spaces of our lives that we find perspective and truth. It’s where we return to ourselves. When things change inside you, things change around you. (Formerly, The Synced Life)
