Quotes
“When we can be more aware and
compassionate of our own hearts and our own minds and our own
bodies, we're able to offer that to others. Really importantly,
mindfulness when we think about the military, we think about
action, and taking strategic action taking wise action. When action
comes from a place of calm when it comes from a place of non
reactivity. That's when we're our smartest selves. So we're
actually taking our most strategic actions when we're practicing
mindfulness, the benefits are infinite." - Patricia
