This practice is not about doing something easier, faster, quicker, or anything like that at all. . . . This is a different muscle we're developing altogether. The profound aspect of this . . . is that we're not saying we need to become someone else. This practice is actually acknowledging that there is something already going on about our humanity that is profound. You don't need to do anything else. We just need to rest in our natural state. And in so doing, we discover that we are confident, at our ease, brave, kind, respectful beings. And this can have a tremendously positive impact on organizations. ~ Michael Carroll Leading@Google: Click here to see Michael Carroll, author of The Mindful Leader and Awake at Work speaking at Google on mindfulness and organizational leadership. ~ |

Can Mindfulness Help with Weight Loss?
Learning how to attend to one's moment-to-moment experience of eating may always be a work in progress for many of us, but one with many payoffs.

In this article by Dr. Jan Chozen Bays, explore how the process of learning to eat mindfully means examining and discarding our negative habitual thinking associated with food, and replacing it with love, acceptance, curiosity, and a respect for our innate inner wisdom.
