7-Minute Video Meditation to Restore Balance

Identify and respect your limits

Getting Started

• Find a quiet place to sit comfortably upright—at the edge of your bed, on the floor, or in a chair

• Close your eyes and tune into the breath or another point of focus to be fully present

• Relax your body—loosen your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and soften your brows

Working from home has been a privilege many of us have been granted after the pandemic. The caveat? It came with a blurriness in delineating where the workday ends. Not to mention, we add pet or childcare duties to the equation to offset what would formerly be the responsibilities of care centers or sitters, and we've got a recipe for burnout.

We're stressed, worried, and overwhelmed—and rightfully so. But what's really driving these pressures? In this meditation, we'll explore some of our internal narratives and self-imposed expectations and find strategies to restore balance in our busy lives.
