Reflections On Being Human is a reader-supported publication. If you would like to create reciprocity for my work, gain the ability to comment on my posts, receive full-access to all of my articles as well as meditations, journal prompts, and mindfulness or somatic activities, then I invite you to become a paid subscriber. Your support is greatly appreciated.
As an adult with all kinds of responsibilities it can be hard to find time to focus on our own self-care and to rest.
