3 TAKE-HOME POINTS

1. Get in the habit of regularly reminding yourself to breathe deeply throughout
   the day. In yoga, breath is the link between the mind and the body.


2. Create your own simple life-affirming metta, such as “may I be at peace”. Say
   this to yourself often throughout the day (e.g. when you’re walking, riding the
   elevator, driving in your car).


3. Develop your ability to listen to your body’s preferences, then act on them.
   What stretch would feel good in any given moment? Which side does your
   body prefer to lie on each night in bed? This type of instinctive body
   awareness can also help with mindful, conscious eating.
