3 Things You Can Do To Make Your Life Better Each Day

In this talk, we explore three simple practices that can quietly change your life: daily meditation, a commitment to non-harm, and honoring your own good mood. When we take care of our inner state through rest, awareness, and kindness, we naturally create a more peaceful field around us.

We may not be able to change the whole world, but we can create a beautiful, gentle world in the space immediately around us.
