Shame robs the brain of the energy it needs to grow.
Kindness bathes us in the centers of dopamine.
Mindfulness is not just about attention, it's about kind attention.
Put your hand on your heart and greet yourself "Good morning (Insert Your Name). I love you." Putting your hand over your heart releases the hormone oxytocin (connection).
