This week's Mindful Moment is designed to slow us all down and gives us a greater capacity to ask ourselves "what is now" as opposed to "what's next".  This practice helps to ground us and keeps us present in our moments.  It takes discipline and work and the awareness that I hope today's Mindful Moment helps to cultivate.  Be present and be mindful! Right Here!...

Today we look to understand anxiety and what purpose it can serve. It is so often seen as a flurry of negative emotions and we then get into a cycle of deeper and more difficult thoughts on how things will turn out or what things we expect to turn out badly. But it is possible to employ the anxiety if we better understand what purpose it can serve us.   Please reach out to someone if you are strug...

Mindfulness allows us to better notice our challenges and the responses and the curiosity allows us to better understand what we are experiencing – connecting the awareness with the impact of our awareness is a wonderful state to be in for a cycle to be formed so that we can employ this newly discovered and cultivated strength in all of our moments in life.  And there is growing research showing t...

Today's Mindfulness Intention is about liberation - setting ourselves free - specifically unleashing the parts of us that may be hidden by our strife or disharmony - and those parts of us that are already embedded within us - parts of us that we need to unchain and unearth - so that our best selves can shine - to experience the good and overcome the not so good for the service of ourselves -...

Today, we are going to talk about how we can approach life maybe a bit differently by taking a better perspective on how we interact and connect and communicate with others.
