Mindfulness Minute

When we know someone has done something to us, it can be very hard to forgive. But remember - they're the ones who have truly lost. In forgiving, you can move on, but they'll have to live with their actions.

It's ok not to have answers to a big problem. Be patient, stay open and the answers will arrive.

We know what to do when things go right - but how do we process our emotions when things go wrong? This is where rituals of small and large grief are very important - they help us move on in our day-to-day lives.

When things go awry, we can get caught up in the shame and blame spiral. Instead, ground yourself by remembering that life is full of unknowns.

Don't fall into the trap of obsessing about the future or agonizing about the past. Be honest with yourself and take stock of exactly where you are. This is where real growth always begins.

When we realize that our life can change in the blink of an eye, it makes us appreciate and savor everything and everyone we have, so much more.

Things in life have their own rhythm. In remembering this, we can learn to be more patient, loving and caring with ourselves.

Sometimes we just need time to recover from burnout. We need to give ourselves the space to rest and recalibrate.

In difficult times, we have to be especially gentle and kind to ourselves, simply to get through the day.

Underneath the stress and anxiety, is a deep capacity to appreciate the little things.
