I love this simple explanation of mental fitness from Positive Intelligence.

One of the most valuable parts of the Saboteur Assessment isn’t simply discovering which Saboteurs show up for you. It’s beginning to recognize them in real time and understanding how they may be influencing the way you think, work, and relate to others.

If you’re curious about what your own Saboteur patterns might be revealing, I’m happy to offer a complimentary Saboteur Assessment debrief. Sometimes awareness is the first step toward having more choice. 🌱

Your brain's capacity for calm, clear thinking grows the same way any muscle does: through reps. Mindfulness helps you notice your thoughts.

Inviting Spaciousness

Today when the heart is a small, tight knot,
I do not try to untangle it. I don’t tug on the strings
in a desperate attempt to unravel it.
I don’t even wonder at how it got so snarled.
Instead, I imagine cradling it, cupping it
with my hands like something precious,
something wounded, a bird with a broken wing.
I cradle my heart like the frightened thing it is.
I imagine all the other frightened hearts
and imagine them all being held in love.
And I breathe. I breathe and feel
how the breathing invites a spaciousness.
I breathe and let myself be moved by the breathing
as I open and soften. Open and soften.
And nothing changes. And everything changes.
The heart, still a knot, remembers
it knows how to love. It knows it is not alone.

🌿 Mindful Moments for the Holiday Rush 🌟

As the holiday season swirls with excitement, it can also bring a touch of stress. Let's pause for a mindful moment together.

Take a Breath:
Inhale deeply through your nose. Feel the air fill your lungs.
Hold your breath for a couple of seconds at the top.
Exhale slowly. Release tension with each breath.
Repeat 3 times, then relax.

Why Mindfulness Matters:
The hustle and bustle can take a toll on our well-being. Mindful breathing offers an immediate calming benefit, bringing us back to the present moment.

A Breath Away from Calm:
Next time stress knocks, remember, a few intentional breaths can be your sanctuary. Let's embrace the season with a centered spirit.

Reflect:
Share your favorite mindful breathing techniques or tag someone who could use a breath of calm.

Wishing you a season filled with peace and presence.

Turn "Can Do" into "Can Did". I just ended up running a terminal marathon to catch my connecting flight just before the doors shut. It's been a while since I ran that hard so I started to cough once I got on board. A fellow passenger handed me a lozenge and that is what it said on the wrapper.
Happy Thanksgiving and wishing you many "Can Dids!"
