Free Virtual Talk: The Power of Mindfulness and Gratitude

Practicing mindfulness and gratitude can transform the brain. Mindfulness can calm us in the moment and regular practice can help us stay grounded. Gratitude can improve our physical and emotional health, boost sleep, encourage self-esteem and usher in more meaningful relationships.
