Who’s ready to close the book on this week? We started this conversation on Wednesday, when it was barely halfway over, and at last, we’re finally here. Interesting times we live in, so the least we can do is give ourselves the joy of a hard-earned Friday. Take a minute to catch your breath, and …
One of the best things about the weekend is that it gives you the chance to connect with people. You can catch up with friends, call your family, and of course, check in with yourself. Every weekend needs a little downtime, whether in the form of extra sleep, a nice long walk outdoors, or finally …
Did you ever watch “The Science Guy” growing up? Turns out that there’s more to Bill Nye than meets the eye. No surprise that he’s all about learning, though, and is up for sharing one of life’s best secrets with us here: class is always in session. Even better, we all have perfect attendance, no …
Today’s the day, y’all. The red, the pink, the lace, the hearts. They’re everywhere. If you’re allergic to roses, you might want to stay out of public today. Love it or loathe it, Valentine’s Day is upon us. Whether you’re matched up or not this year, I’m probably not the first person to tell you …
Starting off the week of all things heart-related with some deep thoughts about a topic that may seem a little more sentimental than we usually get around here. We do talk a lot about compassion, though, and also the interactions you have with lots of different people in your life, from your inner circle to …
The only thing better than the arrival of Friday is the rare Friday that happens to kick off a long, holiday weekend. You’ve got yourself one of that delicious variety today, if you happen to be in the U.S. (which I still am not! Yay, mindfulness travel!). You know that means a whole extra day …
I think I’ve mentioned before that, during her classes, one of my favorite yoga teachers (Rebecca) loves to say that “your ego is not your amigo.” I love it because 1) who doesn’t love a catchy rhyme, yeah? and 2) it’s designed to protect you at exactly the moment that your willingness to push yourself …
This week’s post about NYU really had me thinking. I mean, first of all, being able to live, work and study in a community with such extensive mindfulness resources is like a dream scenario for me, but that’s not news to anyone. What I’ve been thinking about this week is how even the most incredible resources …
Fridays are already just about perfect. As if that cake needed any icing, how great is it that the only challenge I’m ever going to pose to you on them is a “no-fail” one? Since mindfulness is more about intention and gentle effort than achieving any particular results or being “good” at it, so are …
Hey there, weekend! Just about, anyway. It’s Friday, it’s summer, and it’s time to exhale. If you like relaxing, you’ll love this weekend’s mindfulness challenge. This week was about those moments when life sidelines you. We all know we’re supposed to find time to take care of ourselves, to rest and recharge and be more …
