Reading Time: 4 minutes The next time you feel battered by bad thoughts on repeat, remember this as a potential way to put them to good work.

Reading Time: 3 minutes Certain words get a really bad wrap. I think discipline is one of them. Most of the time discipline isn’t about doing what’s hard. It’s about doing what’s easy, even when it’s dull. Many years ago one of my early yoga instructors refused to use the words “yoga practice”.
