Practice can sometimes feel like you're not "getting" anywhere. But put a lens to the little things. Do you sometimes not say the thing that's going to ruin the next 48 hours of your relationship? Can you sometimes take a nanosecond pause before responding? That's real progress.

When you're feeling anxious (as many of us are!) focusing on the breath during meditation can actually make it worse. Try different anchors like the feeling of your feet on the ground, or other sensations in the body -- that can regulate the stress response. #TuesdayTips
