This week, we uncovered the (not-so) secret truth that mindfulness is sneaky. Not sneaky in the sense that it’s dishonest or pretending to be something it’s not, but more so in how it has the tendency to come around when you least expect it. For example, you find you’re more focused than usual during a […]

In this week’s earlier post, we got out the shovel and did some digging. We went deep, y’all, and got into some big questions about what makes us tick, and why it can be so hard to just follow that beat and be ourselves. Authenticity is so magnetic in other people (even if the expression

This weekend’s “no-fail” mindfulness challenge makes me smile, which is exactly the point. Earlier this week, we contemplated what it means to make a sacrifice, as many around the world prepared to welcome in the season of Lent and the requisite question of “what are you giving up this year?” Even if Lent doesn’t register

There are so many reasons not to do it. You’re busy, overloaded, and tired. And who has the time?? You’ll get to it tomorrow, for sure. If putting together excuses for not engaging in your mindfulness practice today were actually a mindfulness practice, you’d be all set. The issue is, what you’re trying to make

I had an idea already in mind when I woke up this morning for this weekend’s “no-fail” mindfulness challenge that was based on our earlier topic this week: those goals that just don’t quit. More specifically, we talked on Wednesday about the ever-shifting finish line of accomplishment, and how quickly we often transition from “I

This week’s earlier post was about a lot of things. It was about making decisions, finding professional fulfillment and personal happiness, and surviving disappointment. It was about dreams realized and hopes dashed. It was about the role your mind plays in framing the lens through which you see and experience the world. But at the

I don’t want to try to speak for you, but I’m guessing that maybe it hasn’t been the easiest week. Campuses and offices are back in full swing after winter holidays, workloads are building back up, and also…well, as we talked about earlier this week, the world as you know it may feel like it’s

This week, we took a moment away from the world of applications, interviews, admits (and denys), new classes, and old clients to debunk one of the greatest myths about meditation: that you need an empty head to walk away with a peaceful heart. I mean, my head’s not empty – is yours? Heads are never

This week, our topic was decisions…or more specifically, the age-old battle between head and heart that often occurs when we are faced with tough ones. The question on the table was to what extent you allow each to be the boss when it comes to your deliberation process. Do you heed your intuition, or are

Hi there! Hope your week was a good one, maybe with a little less monotony than usual after our earlier post this week on making your “grind” more mindful. Your mindfulness challenge this weekend is about making exactly that happen, ICYMI. It’s a simple task this weekend, but it takes some effort. On your way to
