Life transitions are everywhere. Whether you’re dealing with the ending of a relationship, getting back into the workforce, moving, a child leaving for college, retirement, or the changing of your relationship after having kids, life has continual stressors. How we perceive and view these stressors matters more that whether or not they happen.

Life happens and we react.

Sometimes we don’t love how we react or our reaction affects others negatively. Sometimes we get stuck and don’t know how to shift our perspective to get unstuck. Mindfulness can be an exceptionally helpful way to get unstuck. It helps you broaden your perspective and see things from different views.

Sometimes people are resistant to mindfulness thinking they have to do it a certain way. Others think you have to spend a lot of time at it. At The Mindfulness Center, our focus is to make mindfulness accessible to everyone! We want you to be successful in getting unstuck and increasing your mindfulness, so we have very gentle approaches that often have big positive impacts.

How do you view your life’s work as an individual, partner, parent, or friend? Work is such an important metaphor and symbol for life itself.  It can be thought of in a myriad of ways, toil and obligation, or art and inspiration.  The stories we are told, and tell about ourselves have a profound impact on our life’s work and what we want that legacy to be.  Making meaning of our work can give us a valuable tool to understand not only what our lives have been, but what they can be.  But, it takes work…
