Is it resistance, or is it momentum?

It comes up over and over in my classes "I want to slow down, pause, find some ease, but I just can't seem to make myself do it."

And I have to admit, even after many years and many hours of practice, even when I have the space cleared on my calendar - I still sometimes notice a subtle but powerful something that feels like resistance when it's time to stop doing and simply allow myself to just be.

But it's not resistance. It's not that I don't want to hit the pause button, or that anything is in the way of doing so.

I love it and get so much out of it every single time, so honestly, what is there to resist? Why does it still feel like swimming upstream some of the time?

Because it IS swimming upstream - against a current with massive momentum - the momentum of lifetime of striving and trying to get somewhere or make something happen; the momentum of the pervasive message that if I'm not being productive, I'm not worthy; and the momentum of a lifelong habit of paying way more attention to what I'm doing than to how I'm being.

There are three things that help curb the momentum of that current and make it way easier to pause and just be

* Guidance
* Structure
* Community

Join me and other busy professionals for a free, 20m guided PAUSE for all 3.

Wednesdays from 12:00 - 12:20CST

Put it on your calendar. Show up and get the guidance, structure and community you need to create momentum in the direction of ease and flow and being.

Mindfulness is everywhere — in apps, therapy, and self-care talk — I even saw “Mindful Mayonnaise” at the co-op the other day! So it’s easy to dismiss as a fad, a simple tool or just a buzzword.

But that’s only because depth is missing.

In addition to facilitating MBSR with Mental Health Professionals, I teach in clinical settings, like the Minnesota Sex Offender’s Program, where mindfulness is not about zoning out, or simply calming down. It’s about waking up to the thoughts, sensations and emotions that govern our lives as they are happening, with curiosity and compassion.

It’s a tall order. It takes time and practice. It’s SO worth it.

When mindfulness is learned, practiced and applied consistently, over time in the context of an evidence-based course with a qualified professional instructor, it becomes a tool for attunement, self-regulation and resilience.

Get some relief and a little taste of what mindfulness beyond the buzzwords can offer you with a FREE Mindful Foundations for Mental Health Professionals Mini-Course.
