Mindful Lifestyle
“The Best Way to Take Care of the Future is to Take Care of The Present Moment.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Adopting More Mindfulness
As I’ve worked in the often-hectic field of medicine it’s apparent how little time we take to slow down, be present, and breathe. Moving from one task to the next (or perhaps doing multiple tasks at once) is expected, if not applauded in not only my profession but in much of our society. This creates a sense of busyness, but not necessarily in a fulfilling or meaningful way.
How do we create a pause? How do we move from doing to more being?
By practicing mindfulness, we give ourselves the opportunity to do just that. To be fully aware in any given moment and bring our attention to what is happening. Right. Now.
There is evidence supporting mindfulness practices, and we are learning more about how this can improve overall health and wellness. As I continue learning and growing in both Medicine and Yoga, I’m seeing increasing interest in making mindful living approachable and accessible to more people.
I’m excited to bring some of that here.

Practicing Mindfulness
A mindful approach to living does not need to be complicated.
It can be the way you make time to sip your coffee or tea in the morning, the breath you take when you first wake up, the way you listen with your whole self when a friend tells you a story, or even the way you do the dishes.
There are tools to incorporate more mindfulness in your daily life, and ways to grow if you already practice this daily.
