Thought Quotes:
“If you’re not sleeping well, you should definitely try meditation because you can get the same effects while your body is in that meditation state. Like the sleep state, you are rejuvenating… That’s why we can heal. We regenerate.”
“The body is so amazing. I always say: ‘My body knows how to do it right.'”
“I have the smart phone addiction like everyone else, and the only way I can force myself to not continuously check it by my bed is I made a little bed for it over in the other room, and I tuck it in at night, and then I go to bed.”
