Finding a Mindfulness Practice

Implementing a mindfulness practice can sound like another item to throw onto your already packed to do list, but The Mindful Pause is really just that though, a pause, in your day.  

Here’s how it works according to Dr. Niemiec (2016):

1.) Pause and feel your in-breath and out-breath for 10-15 seconds.

2.) Conclude with a question: Which of my character strengths will I bring forward right now?

This super short, and easy to use practice is perfect for transition moments in your day, or when you just need to refocus and tap into a more helpful emotion.

The Power of Vulnerability

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to share a video with you about vulnerability because several of my clients have found this to be very insightful. Brene Brown has spent the past ten years studying vulnerability, courage, authenticity, and shame. In this video Brene discusses how to embrace vulnerabilities and imperfections so we can allow ourselves to engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness.

Here is her TED talk about vulnerability.
