Join hosts Meg & Sarah as they reunite for this episode to chat about a few topics that can really affect our overall wellness. They discuss habits, and how easy it can be to fall back into old pattern that keep us from growing into who we are meant to be. They‘ll chat about some of the challenges they’ve faced and obstacles they’ve had to overcome to continue to keep Navina operating successfully - and safely. They also talk about the shift into this ‘new normal’, and what that looks like as we stay connected to our values both professionally and personally, and the importance of remaining kind in a world that can be anything but.

Meg & Sarah talk about emotion in the body, and how when we are emotionally charged we are often moving from a place of reactivity - often times without even realizing. The ladies offer a few mindfulness tips to help you learn the difference between formal vs. informal mindfulness and how you can weave one or both into your life for an increased sense of well-being.

Sarah talks briefly about her time as a wellness coordinator at an elementary/jr. high school and the program MindUP she implemented into classrooms - one that utilizes tools such as positive psychology, mindful awareness, and social-emotional learning to help kids begin to develop an awareness to their own emotions and how to regulate them in an age-appropriate way. For more information on MindUP, visit their website at https://mindup.org/ (they have lots of great free resources available for parents), and for the breathing exercise Sarah specifically mentioned which can easily be done from home, visit https://mindup.org/brain-break-at-home/.
