Key Takeaways 1. The five components of self connection are mindful movement, self care, journaling, community,
and meditation. The purpose of these is to ground yourself and feel more present with your body. Mindful movement would be activities such as yoga, while self care would be things that make you feel whole. Journaling and meditation would be targeting our emotions while community
would be using our support circles.

2. Journaling, "beyond the superficial," means that while writing about your day and that crush you got is healthy, journaling on things such as purpose and feelings can help you dig deeper. Writing intentions and mantras repeatedly
will help practice the mindset of meditation.

3. Yoga as a career path can seem daunting and scary, especially from the financial and business side of it. Leaving that safety net of a larger, steady income is difficult and you are not alone in that worry. But, if committing
to the lifestyle of yoga makes you feel more at ease and happier, consider the benefits of dropping that nine-to-five.
