Maybe you'll identify with what I'm talking about here and you'll find your own reasons to meditate. Remember meditation doesn't have to mean that you have to go away and wear a white robe for 9 days without showering and eating granola all day. It could be just you getting quiet, listening to your thoughts and letting them guide you in this journey called life.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/generalfitnesscompany/support

There is a famous proverb that says "know thyself." I've been putting off this origin story because I didn't really know how to tell it.

Today I posted something on Instagram that had personally been confusing me for a few weeks.  It was a meme that I made that said "You can't change the people around you, but you CAN change the people around you."
