We can believe that our life is independent, but it is not - we are supported in many complex ways by the web of life around us.
How we think and act has a profound impact on what happens to us and everything around us. So a good place to start is with the ecosystem that we call 'our' body (in fact it's 90% non-human).
We also include our top stress-busting tool - the 10 second re-boot.
Meanwhile, keep practising your mindful breathing and body scan - they should continue every day for at least 6 weeks.
