Podcast

This episode looks at how we can use mindfulness and reflective questions to help us undo the strong pull within us to move away from being vulnerable.  Asking important questions and reflecting on what matters most in our lives can put us in touch with our intrinsic values.  When we are in touch with what really matters, were not consumed with competing with others, but in pursuit of living.   Following the talk there will be a guided meditation.  I started the A Keen Mind Podcast almost 1 year ago and I am proud to announce that this show has been listed as one of the Top 25 Mindfulness Podcasts of 2019 by Feedspot.  This would not be possible without all of you who listen to...

Podcast

Through our life's journey everything keeps changing no matter how hard we try and hold on to what we have.  The famous quote by Heraclitus "the only constant is change" is true.  If things are going poorly, just wait.  If things are good, just wait.  The inevitable ups and downs of life are going to occur whether we want them to or not.  Knowing that change is coming doesn't mean that we should coast through life on automatic pilot.  The fact that everything is changing, is an invitation for us to inhabit each moment as though it was our last.  This episode explores how we can capture the moments in our lives that remind us how important it is for us to be present.  This...

This episode explores the value of seeking out support when we are caught in stress and doubting our self-worth.  While we can strive to manage stress on our own, sometimes, being wise, means being vulnerable .  I also explore how to use mindful observation to step outside of your negative stream of thoughts.  There will be a brief guided reflection to help you be the observer of your experience, rather than believing all of the negative thoughts you have.  Following the talk there will be a guided meditation.   [podcast_subscribe id="4179"] [podcast_subscribe id="4182"] ...

Wouldn't it be nice to take a few hours off of work on a Friday afternoon to care for yourself at a FREE mindfulness workshop? This training will provide some gentle yoga anyone can do, guided meditations and instruction on how to take better care of yourself through mindful self-compassion. A certificate of attendance for 2 contact hours will be provided to any health care provider who needs contact hours towards licensure, like LCSWs. This training does not provide CEUs. If you are a health care provider, you witness human suffering first-hand. When you're seeing patients back to back, the human suffering you witness can start to take a toll on your well-being and can lead to burn-out. If we want to take good care of our...

In this episode I decided to use being mindful of the present moment to inform the content I provided instead of preparing anything formally.  I explored the need for mindfulness in schools and touch on the impact of bullying, as well as mindful parenting.  The bulk of this episode dives more deeply into self compassion and how self esteem can actually trigger stress.  Following the talk there is a guided meditation.
