It's hard because it's hard, not because you're weak. Just keep swimming, do the next right thing, and take a deep(er) breath. i'm here for you.

It isn't free to maintain an online presence with regular classes, meditations, musings, and more.  Support me finishing some coursework, training, and building a private practice empire to continue offering you free content while maintaining a day job by buying me a coffee. 

When is the last time you checked in with yourself?   

Like really checked in.   Asked yourself the hard questions you ask others. Waited for the answers. Felt the feelings those answers conjured. Offered advice, empathy, and maybe a hug or some food.   

If you're like me, it may have been recently, but it isn't often enough.  

Too often, we can go many days without checking in with ourselves and coming back for just a few quiet moments to ask ourselves - how are you? what's going well? what's on the horizon?.  Too often we go through our days and wake up one day wondering how we got here.  

Mindfulness is the latest buzzword in many circles and while trends often go over my head as an autistic millennial (or are outside my price range), mindfulness as a trend warms my heart and calms my autonomic nervous system.    

Use this tool as a component of any mindfulness practice you have in your life or as your very first one to unlock the power that can come when we take a moment to pay more attention to what’s happening around us.
