    SOLO PRACTICE AT HOME

    SOLO PRACTICE AT HOME

    In this time of social distancing, it's tempting to over commit to new projects only to give up because we've set the bar too high. With so much time on our hands, should we be meditating for four hours a day, learning a new language, cooking three courses at every meal? Or can we set realistic goals for ourselves and create healthy new habits? Listen as my guest, Natashya, talks about setting and sticking to goals with simple tricks that are easy to master. We discuss how she maintains structure as a homeschooling, stay at home mom of four and how you can set up a consistent practice routine for yourself at home no matter how little time or space you can spare!
