What Is Mindfulness & How Can I Practice It?

Mindfulness & Heartfulness Are Synonymous!

In Asian languages, the word for heart & mind are the same, & mindfulness is derived from Asian cultures. Keep this in mind as you start to learn a PRACTICE of mindfulness.  It is truly a practice of heartfulness, self-compassion & acceptance.  We practice by doing a few things: 

Paying Attention

On Purpose

In a Particular Way (with curiosity & equanimity, & non-judgement)

To the Here & Now

Sounds simple doesn't it?  It is deceivingly simple, yes, but be kind to yourself because it isn't always easy.  As Yoda so wisely teaches in Star Wars, "You must unlearn what you have learned."  We have been conditioned to get stuck in our minds, to judge, to be self-critical, & to put more value on doing than on BEING.  So just for today, we can start to strengthen our ability to BE PRESENT.  When we do this, we find our power.  In a time where things feel unclear & our routine has changed, practicing MINDFULNESS is more helpful than ever.  You can start with this mindful meditation & email us for much more content and a 5 for 5 Program that offers 5 days of 5 minute practices to help you strengthen your awareness & increase your enjoyment of every day experiences!  For daily tips please follow us on Facebook. 

Nourish Your Nervous System with Nutrition!

What you eat has a direct impact on how you feel—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Your nervous system craves steady fuel, calming nutrients, and gentle rhythms.  


You can nourish your nervous system by eating more of these foods: 

  • Healthy fats: Avocados, nuts, seeds, salmon, olive oil → boost brain health and mood
  • Magnesium-rich foods: Leafy greens, pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate → promote calm and deep rest
  • Omega-3s: Salmon, walnuts, flax & chia seeds → reduce inflammation and brain fog
  • Potassium-rich foods: Bananas, sweet potatoes, oranges → support healthy nerve signaling
  • Calcium sources: Yogurt, kale, broccoli, almonds → help your brain communicate clearly
  • B vitamins: Eggs, poultry, lentils, spinach, beets, quinoa → nourish your energy and focus
  • Antioxidants: Berries, green tea, turmeric, cinnamon → protect your brain from stress and aging


Here's How to Create A Perfect Meal: 

VEGGIES FIRST:  Start With Greens &/or a Colorful Veggie: Fill half your plate. These are rich in antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that reduce inflammation and support brain and gut health. Dark leafy greens like spinach and kale are also high in magnesium — a calming mineral for the nervous system.    Examples:  Steamed spinach with lemon, Roasted carrots and beets, Mixed salad greens with cucumber, bell pepper, and radishes


Clean Protein Next: Fill a quarter of your plate. Proteins provide amino acids, which are the building blocks of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine that help regulate mood, energy, and focus.

Examples: Grilled wild salmon, Organic chicken breast, Lentils, Tempeh, Pasture-raised eggs


Include One to Two Healthy Fats: Healthy fats calm the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and stabilize blood sugar and hormones. They also enhance the absorption of key fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).  Examples:  Sliced avocado, Olive oil or turmeric tahini drizzle, Chia seeds or walnuts


Top With Herbs, Spices, or Citrus: Fresh herbs and spices are natural anti-inflammatories that also add flavor, improve digestion, and offer nervous system support. Lemon and citrus add a nice dose of vitamin C, digestive support, and flavor enhancement.  Examples: Chopped parsley, basil or cilantro, Turmeric or ginger, Squeeze or zest of lemon or lime


Optional: Add a Small Portion of Anti-Inflammatory Carbs: (1/2 cup) These carbs provide steady energy without spiking blood sugar, which is key for stabilizing mood and fuel throughout the day.

Examples:    Roasted sweet potato, Quinoa, or brown rice

How Can I Use Mindfulness to Build Resiliency?

Mindfulness Helps Us Find Equanimity & Emotional Resilience.

Mindfulness helps us be in the NOW. This helps  us enjoy the good moments~ knowing they won't last, and it also helps us manage the tough times~ knowing they, too, won't last.  We can use NOW as an acronym for Never Over Whelmed.  When we focus on what we can do right now, or what is happening right now, we find empowerment, equanimity  & resilience.
