So often we worry about whether we’ve crossed enough off our to-do lists. Concern yourself more with the how of your actions than the what. Your coworkers and family will notice.

Try this meditation for one minute every day, or longer if you want to:

I’M GRATEFUL for what I’ve accomplished. I try to do things gently, with care and thought.
