The message
The Giant Panda spends most of its day doing one simple thing: eating bamboo, slowly and peacefully. Life gets lighter when you stop trying to do everything. Today, choose fewer things and do them calmly.
Ask yourself
What could I simplify this week?
The animal
Though it is a bear with a meat-eater's gut, the panda lives almost entirely on bamboo, eating for up to 14 hours a day.
