In this episode, I talk about how you can practice mindfulness while engaging in your favorite hobbies. 

Mindfulness practice doesn't have to be formal. Every moment can be an opportunity for mindfulness practice. By anchoring one or two hobbies with mindfulness, and practice them on a regular basis will help with your anxiety, stress, depression, and improve your overall state of mind.

It's essentially a practice to be in the present moment, and not lost in thoughts.

The secret to living an exceptional life--with fulfilling work and leisure, meaningful relationships, and time for oneself--is finding balance. Briana and Dr. Peter Borten have the strategies you need to achieve this all-important balance in your life--even in the face of chaos.

The Bortens focus on three fundamental principles of a satisfying life:

• Sweetness: Learn the importance of feeding your life, body, and soul
• Structure: Find out how intelligent structure can give you more spontaneity and freedom, and liberate you from an excessively busy existence
• Space: Carve out purposeful space, which allows for perspective--an understanding of the big picture and your place in it

Briana and Dr. Peter Borten have made it their mission to create a more peaceful world by helping individuals reestablish a sense of inner peace and balance. They are the founders of The Dragontree, a wellness organization with holistic spas in Portland and Boulder, online courses, natural body care products, and resources for vibrant living.

Often times we create our own suffering by hanging on to our stories and interpretation around things and events. Feelings are the products of thoughts, so it's important to practice seeing things as they are and not get caught up in your mind.

Dr. Nand's healing journey began while she was still a teenager. At 19 years old and in college, she was in an automobile accident and suffered severe whiplash. With debilitating pain, she went to a massage therapist who immediately referred her to a chiropractor. After three visits, she could move her neck and actually resumed her normal life.

Later that same year, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. My general practitioner wasn’t giving her any answers about this and feeling frustrated; She began to think deeply about her own health. Looking back, she realized she'd been carrying a huge amount of stress… far too much for a teenager to handle. She started to explore health solutions in earnest and studied any health profession that wasn’t drug-related. 

Motivated by my experience with chiropractic, she attended Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, Oregon graduating as a Doctor of Chiropractic. For five years before opening Innate Chiropractic & Wellness Centre in Vancouver she participated in seminars and worked with some of the best chiropractors in the industry. 

The importance of preventative care and healthy living is heightened for her, as a cancer survivor. She cares for her patients by encompassing all components of health. By focusing on physical movement, diet, emotional, mental, and spiritual well being, she views her patient as a whole and examines all of the aspects that create health!
