We’re back with another episode of Real Mindful, where you get to listen to cool people tell you how they’ve brought mindful moments into their lives in tons of interesting ways. Bonus: it’s not always how you expect it’s going to be, either. Take Ashley, for example.

In the yoga classes I teach, I often talk about how stillness is an illusion. Even when you think you’re “holding a pose,” you’re still breathing, and blinking, and engaging in a thousand other tiny micro-movements of which you may not even be aware. Within you, your blood is circulating and your metabolism is transforming
In the words of the world’s most famous 80’s teenager, “…if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you might miss something.” He was right, of course. Busy lives with booked calendars, long to-do lists and vision boards for days keep you moving and grooving. Before you know it, the leaves are

Yes, I know. It’s Saturday. I’m late. I’ll spare you the excuses but I will remind us both that late is better than never, and that you still have the whole rest of the weekend to work with this “no-fail” mindfulness challenge ahead of you.

How are you at pep talks? When a friend needs a little boost to make it through a tough time or challenging experience, are you one of those people who can usually give them the motivation they need to keep going? I mean, we can all quickly say “You got this” when we see someone

Yes, that’s right. It’s that time of year again. If you’ve been with me for a while, you’ve seen this one before. You never learn the same thing twice, though, so there may be something new for you in it this time around. Try that “beginner’s mind” thing. It actually works. 😉 With MBA admissions
