Listen Later

Sarah Cart, an author celebrated for her captivating life and death love story, intricately weaves a narrative laden with the tumultuous journey of her husband's debilitating illness. Her latest book, “On My Way Back To You,” offers insights into navigating unforeseen challenges with the help of mindfulness and meditation. Hailing from New York and New England, Sarah honed her craft while contributing to various local publications, all while raising four sons alongside her beloved husband, Ben, in northeastern Ohio. Transitioning into empty nesters, the couple embarked on a new chapter in the Florida Keys, punctuated by summers spent reconnecting with family in Pennsylvania. Amidst the upheaval of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sarah and Ben confronted added complexities in managing his health, striving to safeguard their marriage and sanity amidst adversity.

    Emotions and Breathing
    Mindfulness helps me remember to breathe. I breathe out all the bad stuff, squeeze it out of my lungs as if my lungs are a sponge. All the bad stuff like the grief, anger, frustration, and overwhelm.
  • I try to remember to do it now when I'm awake in the middle of the night and something's bothering me.
  • I try to inhale all the good stuff like joy, comfort, grace, and grit, if that's what's needed. I inhale determination, strength, and confidence. Then I breathe out again whatever bad stuff is there, like fear and insecurity. Get rid of it, get rid of it, get rid of it.
    Mindfulness To Succeed
    •  You just have to take things one piece at a time. You need to break things down and say what needs to happen today.
  • If that's going to happen today, what's going to happen before lunch. And if that's going to happen before lunch, what do I need to be doing right now.
  • Pay attention to immediate details. A lot of fire fighting. Focus comes with the size of the fire, I guess.
