The Four Seasons of Wellness
“The work doesn’t stop when you’re in a Winter season; the work actually becomes more intense which can lead to some emotional challenges. Just like a Winter season, Spring, Summer, and Fall will also have their own challenges. Each one will serve you in a new way and will require different energy but you cannot force yourself into a season; you have to honor each one.” – Tommy Baker
Questioning Your Path
Leave Space For The Magic
“If you don't leave space for the magic, that's a big loss. So, delete some things from your life like social media or binge-watching Netflix. The average American watches 35 hours and 25 minutes of TV a week; that's a lot of magic that's being given away.” – Tommy Baker
