🎭 Emotions & Mindfulness

Details, resources, questions, and challenges

We spend so much time yapping away at our cellphones, watching an endless stream of YouTube clips, that the Annual Review is the perfect opportunity to pump the brakes. With a bit of god-damn peace and quiet, you can find the headspace to take stock of all the things you're grateful for, forgive your enemies, and to begin an exhaustive meditation protocol that will last about 4 days.

Good times, indeed.
