“The Force will be with you. Always.” — Obi-Wan Kenobi
In a time when the dark side seems especially powerful, many of us look to familiar stories of comfort, happiness, and hope. So, it only makes sense that Star Wars–a story of triumph over evil, heroes, and redemption–would make for such a perfect escape.
With May the 4th (and Revenge of the 5th) approaching next week, we at WMA wanted to bring some light into your home and virtually transport you into a galaxy far, far away.
The Force
Yes, the force is real and you can learn how to control it. We all know that self-care is extremely important to get us through these trying times. To help you master the force, author Sir John Hargrave discusses the mental technique of concentration training and the importance of a well-trained mind. These simple meditation exercises can be practiced every day.
Or learn to think like Yoda, problem solve like Princess Leia and focus like a Star Wars Stormtrooper with these science-based mind hacks from the Peak Blog.
“Do. Or do not. There is no try.” — Yoda
