Mindful Monday for Aug. 18

It's the start of a new academic year, and Mindful Mondays are back!

The Mindful Monday for Aug. 18 is a quote from Mel Robbins, the motivational author and speaker who became known last year for her "let them" theory: "Start before you're ready. Don't prepare, begin."

Often, when we are faced with big decisions or life changes, we hesitate and wait for the stars to align before we start. Mel Robbins reminds us that circumstances will never be totally perfect. What is something you have been putting off that you can start today?
