Feeling overwhelmed by the news, other people’s moods, or the pressure to keep up? When everything demands your attention, even a small comment or setback can feel like too much. You don’t have to carry it all.
Join The Art of Not Letting Everything Affect You to explore practical ways to take things less personally, set healthy emotional boundaries, and pause before reacting. Learn how to stay compassionate and connected while protecting your peace, and give yourself permission to let go of what isn’t yours to carry.
Saturday, October 17th, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM. Held at the Brahma Kumaris Meditation Museum, 9525 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, MD. Free Event – Register at <a href="https://shorturl.at/j6Lx5" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://shorturl.at/j6Lx5</a>
