I’m Paige Burkes. I created simple mindfulness to support you in new, mindful ways of being that will allow you to live a happier and more fulfilled life.
What does that really mean?
- It means almost effortless relationships where you love to be with each other and have positive and productive ways of ironing out your differences instead of repeating the same old negative patterns.
- It means loving your body because you’re eating healthy foods and exercising in a way that supports your natural talents and abilities instead of struggling with weight and health issues with yo-yo diets and unsustainable health programs.
- It means feeling good about being in the process of creating a more abundant financial picture for yourself instead of beating yourself up for not sticking with your budget and creating more debt.
We’re all looking for more happiness in our lives. I want to support you in taking the simple steps in your everyday life toward a much happier life.

Win the Networking Game
When was the last time you attended a personal or professional networking meeting (personal networking meeting = party)? Did you go with someone or did you go alone? For many people, the thought of showing up alone to a room full of strangers is a very frightening thing. It definitely was for me just a couple years ago and I avoided it at all costs. I definitely fit the description of an introvert. I love my quiet time alone and recharge my batteries that way.

3 Simple Steps to an Energized Day
Do you roll out of bed, get dressed and grab your coffee and bagel and run out the door in the morning and wonder why you’re dragging only a few hours later?

Do you want something simple and natural that puts your whole day in perspective, gives you the strength and inner calm to get you through just about anything the day can deal you? Without unhealthy foods and stimulants?

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Paige Burkes
Unfortunately many of us succumb to the messages of media and our society that tell us that something outside of ourselves will make us happier. We start telling ourselves, “I’ll be happy when… I get a promotion, make a certain amount of money, have the perfect relationship, lose a certain amount of weight, I’m finally my own boss, etc.”
The truth is, happiness comes from within. I know it sounds kind of cliché but I’ve spent the last 15 years of my life discovering that it’s true. I want to teach you all I’ve learned to speed up your learning process so you can be happier now.
Instead of complaining about all the negatives and wishing they were different (forms of resisting the current condition), if we fully accept the way things are and are happy no matter what, all those negative things start to change and morph onto what we really want. I know it sounds counter-intuitive but it’s true.
I’ve wasted all too many years of my life and tons of energy resisting my condition and trying to control things I can’t control. Whenever I did this, the conditions got worse and I was more unhappy. The more I blamed my unhappiness on other people and exte al conditions, the worse I felt.
Once I started noticing – being mindful – of my thoughts and actions and how they affected my world, I realized how I was creating my own unhappiness. It wasn’t anyone’s fault but my own. I was free to create my own reality.
The more I accepted and embraced things and people just the way they are, the more quickly they changed into what I had been dreaming about.
The more I took personal responsibility for my own life and happiness, the lighter I felt and the happier I became.
And when I started taking baby steps toward the life I wanted, my dreams came true.
If you want to change all the negative circumstances in your life, YOU need to change first.
My goal simple mindfulness is to guide you along the path that I’ve taken and hopefully save you some of your precious time and life energy on your quest to being truly happy. I hope that by being very transparent with my life and my many mistakes (i.e. learning experiences), I can support you in your journey to higher levels of happiness and fulfillment in your life.
Learn from my mistakes. You can learn more about me here.
