Just breathe. In the moment, this can help your conversation switch gears. Over time, this changes the brain to make you more thoughtful, less reactive, and more resilient!

I know National Dog Day was last Tuesday, but every day is Mia Day! Pets are a wonderful vehicle for pulling our attention to the present.

For National Dog Day, try a dog-petting meditation!

All you need is a few quiet minutes with your dog (or cat, if that’s who shares your home).

Full video at the link in my bio.

Did you know that meditation grows the part of the brain responsible for learning and memory (the hippocampus), which helps protect against cognitive decline and memory loss as we age? It's true! Yay science!

I only recently discovered Double Exhale Breathing, and it's by far my favorite breathing technique for relaxation and anti-anxiety. Bonus: you can literally do it anywhere (eyes closed optional). 😮‍💨😴

If you have time for a cup of coffee, you have time to stop and be present, even if only for a second. Mindfulness only takes a moment. ☕

Meditation hasn’t fixed everything, but it’s helped with a lot:

🌀 I sleep better
🌀 Less anxiety
🌀 I interrupt people way less
🌀 I’m not overwhelmed 24/7
🌀 Hot flashes are down

That’s real.

A short breathing meditation—only 45 seconds.

Don't try to control your breath—just notice what’s already there.

Swallows flying fast in tight little loops, just missing each other. I stopped and watched. That was the moment.

Mindfulness isn’t always stillness. Sometimes it’s just noticing something before it’s gone.
