You made it! It’s the weekend, which no doubt means you are eagerly awaiting your next mindfulness challenge. Right? Of course you are. This week, we met Jenna and MP, two Wharton MBA students who have created a weekend mindfulness retreat designed for busy graduate students. Talking with them highlighted the importance of occasionally stepping […]

By now you probably know that I appreciate a mindfulness habit. I encourage the people I teach to look for even small ways to incorporate some kind of meditation, movement, or other type of mindfulness into as many days a week as possible. Research has shown that 10-15 minutes of meditation consistently throughout the week

Morning! Those of you in the US may be sleeping in today in honor of people who likely never slept in — US Presidents. Plenty of you probably aren’t, though, since it’s one of those holidays that schools and jobs sometimes take a pass on. Regardless, we can all start our week with a mindful

We’re starting off this weekend with a little extra credit. Just kidding – there are no grades in mindfulness! You’re such an MBA. But seriously, did you notice anything interesting about this week’s earlier post? Maybe a little something tucked away inside it, just as snug as a baby in a king cake?

I’m not usually known for being early. I was born early…in the morning on the day after my due date, and that’s about how most of my appointments since then have gotten started – just a smidge after the scheduled start time. I think most people need an extra 2 or 3 minutes to really
It seems like a lot of the people I talk to lately are in one of two places: livin’ the dream or wishing they were dreaming. Lots of activity on the two far ends of the emotional spectrum. Maybe this is just my crowd, and things are pretty steady with you right now. In case, however,

It’s the weekend! Just about, anyway. I hope you’ve had the chance to laugh at yourself a few times this week, as we talked about in my last post. If you haven’t, well then, lucky you! This weekend’s “no-fail” mindfulness challenge might be just the ticket. So this one requires a combination of a sense

Did you hear the one about the meditator who paid for his coffee with a $20 bill? When he asked for his change, the cashier said, “Oh my friend, change comes from within.” Haaaaaa…ha. OK, so that’s probably not the best joke you’ve ever heard, but I’m willing to bet I got a little smile
Good morning! I hope your weekend included some of that time for creativity and imagination that last Friday’s mindfulness challenge encouraged you to find. Today’s quote continues the theme with a reminder that our “thinking mind” and our creative side go hand-in-hand. Make time for mindfulness, and you may find your creative juices flow a bit more easily. Think

This week’s main post was about finding the balance between the gentle discipline of mindfulness and the cultivation of space for unrestrained creativity in our very productive lives. The point (according to me) was that a little daily mindfulness can help to organize the sometimes chaotic chatter in our brains, not just by giving us
