Mindfulness in action - awareness - I have so many things to do! but... I'm not doing them. I'm “Procrasta-clearing”. Definition: Cleaning your desk to avoid work.

It looks/ feels helpful to clean your desk.... but when you bring mindful attention to the moment... it's avoidance! ~Name it to tame it~

I'm starting to teach online - Diving into the unknown with students and parents.. As a school librarian, I was born to do this work. There is so much stress in the air that I am still affected. I feel weird and want to avoid feeling this way.

I sit with my "big feelings" - turn towards the difficulty and ask... What do I need right now?

Apparently I need a clean desk to start this journey of Online teaching. Back to “Procrasta-clearing” !!!

Sending virtual hugs. Bring awareness to your thoughts and actions. Feel stress don't become stressed.

Stress management are essential life skills. Many teens and adults with eating disorders are feeling triggered by the uncertainty in the world and the stress about food availability at the grocery stores. (Our food availability is very good- people are just scared and want a feeling of control when hoarding foods) This is a great article if food is struggle for you. You are not alone.

Attention teens - come learn mindfulness online to help manage your stress. I want you to be well.
