“I'm handling challenges that used to overwhelm me so much better”

Quick summary

Despite some sleep challenges, Lisa has become less reactive to stress and no longer holds in difficult feelings. She now handles overwhelming situations with greater ease and has found joy in meditation as her precious daily practice.

My sleep has been a little funky - not falling asleep until late and waking up early, so I do still feel fatigue sometimes. Definitely less reactive to stress and not holding my feelings in, even 'the not so pretty ones. I'm handling challenges that used to overwhelm me so much better.

I truly look forward to my meditations! It's like my precious "me" time where I can get still and quiet the noise. And in the good weather if I'm home it's my precious time on my balcony or my new favorite spot - under a tree in Central Park.
