"Normalcy"

What, exactly, is the new normal? Father’s Day and the first day of summer are just days away, and yet another reminder that life does not feel normal. So, maybe it’s time to look at what we mean by normal. As an adjective, the definition of normal is “conforming to a standard, or usual, typical, or expected.” As a noun, it’s defined as “the usual, average, or typical state or condition.” Basically, what this tells me is that normal is whatever we decide it is. I think we mig

Viviendo en Aislamiento

Estoy entrando en mi sexta semana de lo que estoy tratando de recordar de llamarle como un retiro aislado. No parece posible que no he salido absolutamente a ninguna parte, aparte de tres viajes a la tienda de comestibles, en seis semanas. Sé que algunos de ustedes han estado en casa incluso más tiempo. Y sé que estoy muy bendecida de haber podido seguir trabajando durante todo este período, aunque me he quejado un poco por estar demasiada ocupada. Ese ajetreo probablemente V

Living in Isolation

I’m entering my 6th week of what I’m trying to remember to call a secluded retreat. It doesn’t seem possible that I’ve been absolutely nowhere, other than three trips to the grocery store, in six weeks. I know some of you have been at home even longer. I know that I’m very blessed that I’ve been able to continue working during this whole period, even though I have complained a bit about being way too busy. That busyness has probably helped me tremendously in staying less lone

Que puede hacer en este momento?

Los beneficios de dar, incluso en su propio momento de necesidad. La atención plena incluye la compasión y la comprensión de que todos estamos conectados. Hay un bienestar mayor de considerar en cada acto que realizamos. Viendo cómo se ha propagado este virus en todo el mundo, y reconociendo que aquellos que no cooperan con las restricciones diseñadas para reducir la velocidad que puede afectar muy negativamente a muchos otros, ha sido un fuerte ejemplo de esto. Pero por el l

What Can You Do Right NOW?

The benefits of giving, even in your own time of need. Mindfulness includes compassion and the understanding that we’re all connected. There is a greater good to be considered in every act we perform. Watching how this virus has spread around the world, and recognizing that those who don’t cooperate with the restrictions designed to slow it down can very negatively affect many others, has been a very strong example of this. But on the upside, many people have become more awar

El Ajuste

La mayoría de nosotros estamos enfrentando algún tipo de interrupción en nuestras vidas debido a la pandemia.

Working and Breathing Through

We’ll be mixing up our format somewhat over the next few weeks to provide you not only with mindfulness techniques and examples, but also resources to support you in getting through this experience calmly and with an increased sense of purpose and meaning. And maybe even a little fun. Today we’ll be interviewing Work2Live’s social media manager, Melissa Sims. She’s homebound with school-aged children and we’ll have a chat about how it’s going and what her strategies are in ho

No Hay Necesidad de Entrar en Pánico

No te dejes llevar por el miedo y el pánico que se extiende por todo el mundo. Normalmente no veo las noticias, capté algunos clips de personas que corrían en las tiendas por agua y suministros debido a las noticias sobre el coronavirus. No pude evitar preguntarme por qué el pánico? Entiendo cuándo sucede justo antes de un huracán que se avecina, por ejemplo, porque las tiendas podrían ser eliminadas del planeta y el agua o los sistemas eléctricos podrían estar inactivos dura

Adjustments

As we move into a period of making adjustments to our daily lives, it is important to remember that we still have control over ourselves. Most of us are facing some sort of disruption in our lives due to the pandemic. While the vast majority of people won’t get sick, we will nevertheless have to make adjustments during this unusual event. And most of us struggle with change and uncertainty, so it’s very important to take a moment now and decide how to proceed. Do you want to

No Need to Panic

Don't get caught up in the fear and panic spreading across the globe. While I don’t normally watch the news, I caught a few clips of people making runs on stores for water and supplies due to the news on the coronavirus. I couldn’t help but wonder, why the panic? I understand when it happens right before a looming hurricane, for example, because stores could be wiped off the planet and water or electrical systems could be down for days, weeks or even months. But for a virus?
