Being Present and Improving Life With Mindfulness with Dr. Dillard -Wright

Go Within or Go Without Radio

Like it or not, the thoughts you hold in the morning can shape your mindset for the rest of the day. A new book titled “Mindful Morning” aims to start your day with a clear mind and an open heart. The book contains many voices, but the basic message is easy to follow. Mindful Morning is designed to be a slow read: one page a day. Each page starts off with an inspirational quote, followed by a simple exercise to strengthen your peace and awareness.
