This week, we talked about one of the many curveballs that mindfulness can throw you. Most of the time, we think about mindfulness as a strategy for taking things down a notch internally. It is that, but sometimes we may find that the clarity the practice can give us also serves as a catalyst for […]

Hey there, Friday! Great to see you. It’s been a long week, and you’re a sight for sore eyes. This week on the blog, we took on the messier side of mindfulness, and talked about the “stuff” that sometimes bubbles up during a practice. You know, you’re all set to be totally relaxed but instead,

You might start to notice a pattern in this weekend’s “no-fail” mindfulness challenge. In fact, you may even find a few of them.

Angela Lee Duckworth’s groundbreaking talk on the subject a few years ago introduced the topic into the wider vernacular(s) of education, business, and achievement overall, and there’s been no
Got anything exciting planned for the weekend? If you just shook your head “no,” then you’ve come to the right place. This weekend’s “no-fail” mindfulness challenge might be a little different for everyone, but it’s all about shaking things up a bit – whatever that might mean for you.
