And it's an acquired skill, I think it's something that takes probably for some people a lifetime to acquire and to master you know, and it's also part of self-care, a huge part of it, because mental health is not just feelings, your emotions, and you know, your behavior, mental health, everything that you allow to affect you. - KristinaTHIS WEEK’S INTENTIONI intend to inhabit a feeling of peace at all times and allow it to radiate through every experience I have.RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:Sign up for our webinar: The 3 Secrets Behind Building An Intentional Life with Amanda TobeWords as Weapons* by Kristina AranThe Daily Stoic Book* by Ryan HolidayThe Startup Checklist: 25 Steps to a Scalable, High-Growth Business* by David S.
