Reconnecting to What Matters
Reconnecting to What Matters
The rise in depression and anxiety has been linked to the loss of connections with the things and people that matter–our loved ones, ourselves, nature, and our beliefs. But it's possible to reestablish these lost connections and to begin living a life filled with purpose. In these Blinks and Shortcast episodes, you'll learn why it's so important to cultivate sacred practices in your everyday routine, the benefits of human connection, and how to reconnect to the more authentic version of yourself.
