“I think we are seeing an evolution, you can think of mindfulness as a mental exercise, as a corollary to physical exercise” 

-Scott Shute

“There’s this stigma. If I admit to not being perfect, admit to having a bad day; that I am weak, and that is a stigma that we need to get over”

-Scott Shute
