Quotes by Chibs Okereke
“We never really know what’s going in people’s internal landscape”
“There are lots of ways that a burnout can express itself and it kind of depends where we are on the emotional scale”
“That’s the practice – mindfulness is being aware of whatever is present. “
“When you haven’t got time to meditate, that’s probably the time when you need three times as much meditation”
“Once we are more mindful we notice the good things around us a lot more and the bad things around us don’t really affect us as much as they used to.”
“I’m not your traditional mindfulness teacher”
