Last week I had one of those off days.
You know - those days when nothing seems to go your way. Usually, I can go with the flow, but not this time.
So when I got together with some friends I was rather distant. I wasn't myself.
Mindful Monday: It’s YOUR day off. Is your mind present + calm or distracted?
Mindful Monday: When things fall apart...relationships. work. health. money. dreams.
Mindful Monday: Is Your Mental Checklist Controlling You?
Mindful Monday: "I will be happy when....." (it's a trap!)
Mindful Monday: Is your monkey mind driving you bonkers?
Most people's minds are going non-stop and, as a result, we take life and ourselves WAY too seriously.
Would you agree...it feels really good to be able to laugh at yourself?
Some of life's best moments are when you're having fun and being goofy. Practicing mindfulness allows us to be present in those moments and embrace lightheartedness.
Mindful Monday: 'Can you meditate lying down?' Yes you can.
There are a lot of beliefs about meditation and how we 'should' do it. So much so that some people may feel intimidated and never even try it.
The pictures we see of people meditating are usually ones where people are sitting on the floor cross-legged. So you might think this is the only way to meditate. It's not the only way. It's one way.
Mindful Monday: Want a quick pick-me-up?
Mindful Monday: 'I can't meditate with lots of thoughts' It's NOT true.
The most common comments I hear from people about meditation are....
"I can't meditate because I have way too many thoughts."
And the one I used many times when I first started...
"I can't meditate this week because I am too stressed out."
These are not true.
If these were true - I wouldn't be meditating.
Mindful Monday: Want to change the outside in 2017? Start with the inside.
I feel so grateful for the work I do. I have the honour of witnessing people grow, feel happier, more positive and start to make choices to live their life fully.
How does it get any better than this?
When I meet a client who's life is filled with chaos or they aren't fulfilled - it is guaranteed their mind is chaotic and filled with limiting beliefs that are stopping them from moving forward and seeing who they really are.
Mindful Monday: Do you ever feel alone or disconnected?
Mindful Monday: 2017: Are you focused on what you want...or don't want?
Mindful Monday: When you are in the flow
Mindful Monday: [GIFT INSIDE] For you and your family to feel peace + calm
Mindful Monday: Is Your Mental Checklist Controlling You?
Mindful Monday: Tis the season to be...jolly, sad and stressed.
Mindful Monday: When someone takes YOUR parking spot!
I know this is a VERY deep topic today and something we can all relate to.
When someone takes YOUR parking spot!
It happened to me on Black Friday. I went to the mall. (I forgot it was Black Friday. Oops!) and the parking lot was packed. I kept circling around to find a spot and finally I found one. So I put my blinker on and I waited (it felt like forever) until the person pulled out.

Mindful Monday: Out of 16 waking hours how often are you fully present?
Ok - I have a question for you...
Out of 16 waking hours how much of that time are you fully present?
a couple of hours, a couple of minutes
When you wake up in the morning, are you present as you start your day? Having a shower, eating, getting dressed?
Or is your mind already at work, and a mental checklist is running through your head telling you all of the things you have to do.
