It’s Day 11 of the Ukrainian Invasion, the world is on fire and doom scrolling the news has made me realise, it may be time to take a break and breathe. What’s that they say in airplanes during the safety briefings? Put the oxygen mask on yourself, before trying to help others?
In that spirit, the Chief Brief is taking a stillness break today, but I’ll be back with news and views about all the amazing women changing the world, on International Women’s Day!
I’m going to leave you with a practice that helps me kick off these kind of short mental breaks! A little yoga with Adriene Mishler goes a long way!
Get comfortable!
