"When I wake up, I think of at least three things that I have and for which I consider myself privileged," said Sara Carbonero. This is how she remains optimistic, as well as through the meditation exercises she recently discovered.

"I meditate and practice breathing exercises daily. I recommend them, they changed my life. It's good to have that little time with us, to ask ourselves what we want in life, to learn to listen to each other ", the Spaniard explained.
