  • Couldn’t we all use a little less stress and a little more motivation in our lives?

    In this episode of Success Genius, I want to share something I’ve found that helps me with both. It’s my favorite practice for lowering stress and improving motivation and well-being and it can be done in less than 10 minutes a day. I promise this isn’t click bait, I really mean it!

    The practice is called yoga nidra, and it’s been a total game changer for me since I discovered it and even more so since my diagnosis of Hashimoto's disease.

    I’m sharing what it is and how to do it, why you might want to add it to your routine, and some quick and easy ways to get started without spending any money.

    Topics covered in this episode include:

    How to use yoga nidra to get through the day Giving your body a chance to reset Why yoga nidra is more restful than a nap Mitigating the stress of being a high-achieving entrepreneur



    If you’re not a yoga person, don’t be scared off—it’s not the kind of yoga you think it is! I like to think of yoga nidra as a nap on steroids. If that sounds more your speed, tune in.
