It occurred to me after this conversation that I’ve been building my own cathedral; engaged and working with purpose toward the bigger picture for a long time, with each and every brick a necessary part of something significant.

We need to follow and listen to our inner guidance “GPS – Gratitude, Purpose, Soul” system! Our Zen Intuition will always lead us along the divine path, but we need to listen and have faith that we are in the right place, at the right time, doing the right thing.  

There are many things which you could do for increasing your energy levels. Yes, one such strongest method is planning a hike. It is just like a workout plan and you will definitely feel energized. It is sure to boost up your mood and revs the energy levels!

I've discovered that some people love setting goals around this time of year and others hate it - like seriously despise it.

We’re here to set the record straight. We’re going to help you understand the what, why, and how of dopamine. Before we talk about why you should increase your dopamine levels, you need to understand dopamine itself. What the heck is it and why would you want to increase it?
