The Impact of Lacking Self-Esteem on Business Professionals

By Dr. Joe Rubino Studies show that at least 85% or more of the world’s people suffer from some degree of lacking self-esteem.

Marty Tita Tulum ..Tulum Mexico When I am ready to immerse myself in an hour of practicing yoga, I first sit in a lotus pose with my hands in prayer position over my heart. I then softly recite words out loud that I created a while back to help me slow down and connect to a higher power, gratitude and the blessing of being alive.
