Mindful Monday: Do you have a busy week? This is for you!
Life can be pretty busy, right?
Demands at work and at home can sometimes be overwhelming - and most people are operating on autopilot. No wonder life can feel stressful or mundane.
If you are busy from morning to night try this…

Mindful Monday: Are you connected to your body? Try this.
Here's some food for thought on Monday morning...
Our bodies like to be acknowledged just like you and me.
But a lot of times, our bodies are in one place and our minds are somewhere else.
We don’t tune into the body unless we are experiencing pain or discomfort.

Mindful Monday: Notice Yourself Sitting in the Chair. Yep. That’s it!
You sit at different times during the day, right?
Maybe on a beach chair or patio this past weekend! How often do you notice how you feel when you are sitting?
Most people say - not much.

Mindful Monday: Is Your Monkey Mind Going Nonstop? Try This.
It’s the beginning of the week...
Which means your checklist is probably extra-long and your monkey mind is jumping all over the place.
Heck your mental checklist probably starting running the moment you woke up and were still lying in bed, right?

Mindful Monday: Give your monkey mind a vacation this summer...
Let’s face it the monkey mind is busy, right?
It’s going nonstop - and rarely takes a break!
How about sending your mind on vacation this summer?

Mindful Monday: Calling All Control Freaks! Are you ready to let go?
Do you ever wake up in the morning, have your day completely planned in your head and it doesn’t turn out that way?
Happens all of the time, right?

Mindful Mondays: Trilliums don’t try to be like tulips. Right!
Sometimes...
We can get so get up in the busyness of our thinking and our life that we aren’t aware of anything else – including the beauty around us (or within us).
