21 Days Meditation Experience

I'm currently emotionally so drained.  I'm talking about, bringing awareness of, and sharing my experiences of racism in America and how marginalized people feel in this white supremacy dominant culture but I feel I'm preaching to the choir sometimes.  Some white people's defense mechanisms are like armor; they are determined not to hear me.  Or they're simply acting like dumb blonds.  I realized I was pushing myself so hard, made myself available easily to ego oriented, insecure souls that now I'm needing some break.  

Deepak Chopra has free 21 days meditation content every quarter but this time, in the midst of Black Lives Matter movement, this is his timely move, I feel.  As I still keep learning about Black History and how I can participate in ending racism, I will proactively retreat myself with quietness. Unless you fulfill your cup, you won't be able to perform well.  That's my act of kindness to myself.

Below, I share my Twitter repost.  If you sign up for it, you can access to the rest of the 21 days meditation experience content.  Be kind to others, be kind to yourself.
