Mindfulness Tips: 3 ways to help you enjoy this summer

Or will you be too busy “doing” and be unaware of the beauty of nature? In her book, Waking up to this Day, Paula D’Arcy writes that “awakening to the present moment – to now – is to look without filter.... (to) stop relating to life and others primarily through expectation or through mind activity... to meet each person, place, or thing directly.. (to) wake to the day.” What is mindfulness?

Are You "Off Balance"? Discover 3 Factors That May Cause Your Downfall.
It was a breezy October morning and I decided to squeeze in a bike ride before I saw my clients.

As is often the case, ever efficient, I decided to ride to the farm stand and get corn for dinner. I was riding quickly on this cool morning and since I was in a rush, I did not slow down when I was putting on my gloves. The next thing I knew, a fence post jumped in front of me and I crashed into it.

"It's OK to Be Different- Learn to Accept Yourself!".
Have you ever been judged? Have you ever been made to feel “odd” or “different”? We all have unique personality traits which go against the norm. Because of these differences, we are sometimes judged and made to feel odd or that there is something wrong with us. Because we live by set of rules and expectations, we in turn judge others by our standards. Our invitation in life is to be authentic and to operate under values that are true for us and allow others to do the same.

Be in the Moment to Find your True North
In the June tip, I wrote that I felt an invitation to “Get Out of the Box and Dream” this summer. As is my habit, I curtailed every responsibility, except my therapy practice, and took a modified sabbatical. Unlike the four previous summers, I had endless time. I was not moving, planning a wedding or recovering from surgery. This left me four days a week totally dedicated to whimsy. The weather co-operated with this invitation. June was warm and I immediately began to bike and swim. Doesn’t this sound ideal?
