Heeeeeey, Monday…how are ya? If you’re easing your way into this one, you’re not alone. Slow and steady is actually a great way to stay present, which is always the goal around here. The present is actually exactly where you need to be, because it’s the only place you truly can be. If what lies ahead seems […]

How are you on this especially spooooooky Friday? Avoiding ladders, black cats, cracks in the sidewalk, and other pitfalls of the superstitious? It’s funny how we engage with different myths, legends, and beliefs in our everyday lives, isn’t it? We pride ourselves on being super rational, and then, you know, there are stories like this

It’s hard for me to believe this even as a write it, but this week marks the two-year anniversary of MindfulMBA. This sweet little site has been refreshed with new content three times a week for two years. I mean, I’m a person with a lot to say, but that reality is surprising even to
I’m a little late getting this one up, but it feels like the right one for today nonetheless. That’s the thing about great art, right? Every time you find a new perspective through which to appreciate it, it’s new. That’s not just true about art, either. You can (take a breath, and then) take a

There’s a distinct possibility that in reading this post at this very moment, you are not only benefitting yourself immensely and contributing towards your overall well-being (I mean, obviously…ahem), but also engaging in a secondary effort. Not to undermine my own efforts here, but is there somewhere else you should be right now? Something else

One way to look at this quote on a Monday morning is to think about how much you probably don’t want to face the fact that it’s time to part ways with the weekend, and dive into the obligations and challenges of the week ahead. Ouch, I know. I’m human, and I’m feeling it too.
