2. Create a Filter: When we are vulnerable our bodies are more sensitive to the craziness around us. At the start of your day, close your eyes and mentally outline a mesh bubble around you. It might sound silly but you would be surprised how helpful the intention alone can be when interacting with the crazy world around you.
