As most folks on any part of the internet today are likely aware, the month of May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mindfulness practices will never, ever, replace other therapeutic, support, and societal needs. We can't simply get in some nature and do deep breathing about some of what we face. A dash of meditation doesn't magically erase systemic barriers and issues. That yoga class is not going to cure chronic illness. And eating a carrot will not replace meds you may need to literally function throughout the day. What can mindfulness do, then? It can provide us with added support in our mental health and overall wellbeing toolkit. Whether you struggle with being grounded in the present moment, providing yourself with functional care, or face challenging obstacles in your external and/or internal worlds, having even the smallest, shortest, simplest daily mindfulness practice can provide you with an opportunity to build capacity to show up in your life. To show up for yourself, even on the days when it's particularly difficult to do so. Throughout the month, I invite you to join me in adding just a little more mindfulness, every single day. This isn't a contest or "challenge." (Though it may be challenging, at least some days.) It is an opportunity to be in community together, show up for ourselves and each other, and add even 1% more supportive skills into our set of options we can pull from whenever, wherever. Won't you join me? #MoreMindfulMay #IntentAgility #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MindfulLeadership #DailyMindfulness #practice #community #support #coaching #coach #intentional #mindfulness #compassion Video ID: A loop of raindrops across a small human made pond, planted with deep green aquatic plants, plays as a dark-toned background, as if it's a closeup of a garden area at night.

Nestled in the serene embrace of majestic mountains, 35 mental health clinicians gathered for a transformative residential retreat designed to foster healing, connection, and community. Guided by our team of eight experienced facilitators, participants engaged in structured activities and spontaneous connections, such as swimming and bonfire gatherings, which cultivated a strong sense of trust and camaraderie among everyone present. The ketamine sessions facilitated profound emotional and psychological insights, supported by music and mindfulness meditation practices that promoted stillness and introspection. Participants also engaged in mindful walking, poetry readings, and laughter-filled moments that balanced the more intense experiences. We included rituals to mark transitions, while small and large group work ensured comprehensive integration of teachings. Our retreat emphasized inner wisdom, self-observation, and embracing all emotions, leading to a deeper understanding of oneself and one’s work. As one of our attendees reflected: "…[there was] such power in the experience. [I] came back to the ‘Self’ repeatedly through days and continue to hold more firmly to that part even with re-entry to usual routine and life. It does not mean suffering with dark feelings and emotions, points of confusion - this enables me to return to the ‘self’ more easily and [observe what has shifted] away (thanks to mindfulness practices)." By the end, the group had formed a cohesive community, leaving with a renewed sense of purpose and the transformative power of connection.

I realized something this weekend that really got me thinking.. How so many of the problems and challenges that my clients, friends and colleagues get stuck with… They all seem to have something in common. All of these issues are literally created within the mind, and they can also be taken away with the mind as well. But still, most people find themselves searching and searching, all around them for the answer. For a way out. For a quick and easy fix to say bye bye to their deepest, darkest problems. But most of the time, it just isn’t that easy. It takes work to look deep inside of our minds and even recognize what it is that lies within. How to extract it, become aware of it. And then how to transform it into something brighter and more beautiful, that actually serves us and our purpose. In honor of mental health awareness month, I'm hosting a 2 Day Virtual Summit this week called Healthy Mind, Healthy Life where like-minded people will gather to discover powerful techniques to conquer their mind. To find the things in their mind that get them stuck, and find a way out. For good. I know that when our mind is healthy and thriving, then our life is also healthy and thriving. It is just that important. The Healthy Mind, Healthy Life Virtual Summit will be a conglomeration of 12 guest speakers all with powerful and profound insights on how to transform the mind. These speakers normally charge a lot of money to share this knowledge, but for this event - totally free. So if you are someone who is finally ready for peace of mind, and ready to show up - then comment PEACE NOW below and I'll send you the sign up link (again, totally free to sign up!) ✨ #healthymindhealthylife #mindfulness #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthawareness #mindset #mindful #personalgrowth

Hey there everyone 👋 , Mind Over Matter has a busy and informative week planned for you. Here's what's coming up: 👉 Wellness Wednesdays: We’ll answer the question, “What is mindfulness?”. You will gain a quick introduction to mindfulness--its past and present, key aspects of it, benefits of following it, and more. This foundational knowledge can help you start your mindfulness practise. 👉 Thoughtful Thursdays: We'll share insightful quotes on mindfulness for us to examine and discuss, that can provide you with daily inspiration and motivation. These quotes can serve as gentle reminders to stay present and mindful throughout your week. 👉 Focus Fridays: Read the fourth edition of “Mind UR Language, w/Tun Xiang,” on a topic close to many of us: the impact of media and pop culture on mental health language. This analysis can help you become more aware of the language you use and consume, promoting a more mindful and respectful approach to mental health discussions. As always, your feedback is valued 🙏 , so please share what works or what could be improved. It's going to be a busy week.

🧠 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 🧠 Try this quick mindfulness exercise to help center yourself and cultivate a sense of calm: 1️⃣ 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Start by sitting or lying down in a place where you feel safe and undisturbed. You can sit cross-legged on the floor, in a chair with your feet flat, or lie down. Make sure your body feels relaxed. 2️⃣ 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬: Gently close your eyes to minimize distractions. If you're uncomfortable closing your eyes, you can lower your gaze to a spot on the floor. 3️⃣ 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠: Take a deep breath in through your nose for a count of four. Feel your abdomen expand as you fill your lungs with air. 4️⃣ 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡: Hold that breath for a count of four. Use this moment to notice any tension in your body. 5️⃣ 𝐄𝐱𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐲: Exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six, releasing any tension or stress. Imagine all your worries leaving your body with each breath out. 6️⃣ 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭: Continue this pattern for about five minutes. Focus solely on your breath and the sensations in your body. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your focus back to your breath. 7️⃣ 𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐨𝐝𝐲: As you breathe, take a moment to notice how your body feels. Are there areas of tension or discomfort? Acknowledge these sensations without judgment. This practice helps ground you in the present moment and fosters awareness of your physical state. 8️⃣ 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲: After five minutes, gradually bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you're ready, open your eyes. Mindfulness can be a powerful tool for managing stress and anxiety. Incorporating just a few minutes of focused breathing into your daily routine can lead to increased calmness and clarity. Give it a try and notice how you feel afterward!"

 🌿 MINDFUL WEDNESDAY: The Art of Saying No 🌿 Welcome to #MindfulWednesday, where we explore the power of mindfulness in setting boundaries and saying no. In our fast-paced, constantly connected world, it can be challenging to maintain balance and personal well-being. One crucial skill in our pursuit of happiness and mental health is the art of setting boundaries. 🌟 Why Boundaries Matter: Protecting Mental Health: Boundaries help prevent burnout, reduce stress, and maintain overall mental well-being. Fostering Healthy Relationships: They establish mutual respect and understanding in relationships. Enhancing Self-Respect: Setting boundaries demonstrates self-respect and asserts our right to prioritize our needs. Empowerment and Autonomy: Boundaries empower us to take control of our lives and align with our values and priorities. Today's Mindfulness Exercise: Take a few moments to meditate on your boundaries. Find a quiet space, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. Visualize a boundary around you that protects your time, energy, and emotional well-being. Reflect on one area in your life where you need to set a boundary and how it will empower you. Share your thoughts or experiences with setting boundaries in the comments below. Let's support each other in our journey towards balance and empowerment! 🗨 🌿 #MindfulWednesday #Boundaries #MentalHealth #Mindfulness #Empowerment #SelfCare #WellBeing
