by Millie Grenough

New year, new challenges, new opportunities! This Oasis Sanity Tip is short and to the point. Take 60 seconds to do it now.

Take a minute to pause. Thank the old year. Welcome the new year. Look around you. Bring to awareness one thing that you are especially grateful for now. Take three breaths in and out to savor it.
