RESTING AND PLAYING an idea
Play involves participation for the sake of the activity itself. It is spontaneous, freely chosen, self-motivated, and self-directed.
GUIDING an idea
Though some things seem to be getting a little more complicated, here are some great ideas to help you navigate these times with a little more ease, style and fun.
CREATING an idea
“When we are no longer able to change a situation we are challenged to change ourselves.” When we are faced with new problems without known solutions, we are called to think and act differently.
TRUSTING an idea
Letting go of the need for certainty is a practice that’s always useful, but especially now. There is so much that is uncertain – Will I get the Coronavirus? How long will social distancing be necessary? When will the kids be able to go back to school? When can we go back to work, or return to working alongside our colleagues? Any and all of these unknowns can be a major source of stress.
“GRATITUDING” an idea
Gratitude practice is not about dismissing difficult emotions such as confusion, sadness, anger, or fear. Rather, it provides us with the opportunity to welcome all that we are feeling and experiencing, including joy.

UN-PERFECTING an idea

Choosing Your Word for the Year: A Guide to Mindfulness
Our language and labels affect our thoughts and perspectives, and ultimately our behaviors. What are the words you use when you label or evaluate things and other people?
BLESSING an idea
We can look for and honor our common ground. We can connect intentionally with our shared humanity...that which draws us together rather than that which divides us.
