The stress and strain of constantly being connected can sometimes take your life -- and your well-being -- off course. GPS For The Soul can help you find your way back to balance.
GPS Guides are our way of showing you what has relieved others' stress in the hopes that you will be able to identify solutions that work for you. We all have de-stressing "secret weapons" that we pull out in times of tension or anxiety, whether they be photos that relax us or make us smile, songs that bring us back to our heart, quotes or poems that create a feeling of harmony, or meditative exercises that help us find a sense of silence and calm. We encourage you to look at the GPS Guide below, visit our other GPS Guides here, and share with us your own personal tips for finding peace, balance and tranquility.
Maria Fernanda Gandara believes in the power of passion: "Passion gives us the courage to go in the direction of our goals. When you do things with passion you do things with love. Love what you do and do it with love. To live with passion is a matter of choice." See Gandara's personal path to passion in her GPS Guide below.
GPS Guide: María Fernanda Gándara's Path To Passion
It was in 2010 when Hurricane Alex hit Monterrey that Maria Fernanda Gandara saw the impact she could print on a needy society. She decided to make a career in social development and became the most accomplished student of a program called Leadership for Social and Sustainable Development where she learned methodologies to design and evaluate social impact projects and became a Social Development Consultant. She worked in CSR at Sigma Alimentos and as an answer of Mexico's statistics of childhood obesity she designed and implemented a project that promoted healthy lifestyles in children of low-income communities, the employees of the company are now replicating the final model of the project in different sites.
