Well, hasn’t this been an interesting year? For better or worse, no matter where you live, or what you believe, I think we can all agree on that. Here in South Australia, we have been very fortunate to not have been as badly affected as some places in the world, largely attributed to an early lockdown, with reasonably clear guidelines, and the majority of people doing the right thing. It is so easy to become stressed when the world has changed almost overnight, and I feel for those overseas who are far more affected than we have been. Just before the first lockdown here in March, I had begun a meditation challenge, which turned out to be the perfect tool to stay centered, grounded, and positive. I now meditate every day and consider it to be integral to my life.
