Coping With Tragedy
Delight in the Mundane
I came across these images by Sean Charmatz, via an article on Colossal, and I can’t get enough. These pictures make me laugh and have even resulted in me looking at regular ol’ objects a little more closely. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Mindfulness, What Is It?
Jon Kabat-Zinn, one of the foremost mindfulness experts, shares, “Mindfulness means moment-to-moment, non-judgmental awareness. It is cultivated by refining our capacity to pay attention, intentionally, in the present moment, and then sustaining that attention over time as best we can. In the process, we become more in touch with our life as it is unfolding.”
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Minority Stress
Minority stress levels have been high, and I can only imagine what people of color, immigrants, and women are feeling right now in this political climate. I want to remind people to take care of themselves, whether it’s by seeking the counseling of a therapist; confiding in a close friend or support network; or taking part in an activity that you enjoy.
