Mindful Methods for Life Mindful Methods for Life training to help you handle stressful situations in your life better than you ever thought you could!

I teach Mindful Methods for Life to groups, individual, and organizations. These skills help people handle difficult situations with more equanimity. When you feel bad about something, you notice the feeling in your body; then you realize you are not alone in this feeling so you feel less isolated; then you use one of the 25 techniques that I have taught you to soothe yourself so that you feel more comfortable with what ever the pain or suffering is that is causing your distress. It won't make the situation go away, it will change how the situation effects you in your body so that you feel better.

Flying Saucer This morning my husband spotted a flying saucer hovering over the Pioneer Mountains. He took pictures, then came to find me, bursting with excitement over a cloud. Not just any cloud. An altocumulus standing lenticular cloud. Quite a mouthful for something that looked like a flying sau...

Tumble Dry Low

The panties ought to be hung
to dry. So too, the jog bra, the nighty
that has magical cooling powers.

But sometimes, it’s too much to ask.

Sometimes, the tomatoes resting
in the hand-painted ceramic bowl
call out to be sliced,
laid upon the too-dry tuna
on the bread from the refrigerator
that you failed to toast,
to make the sandwich at least 65% better,

yet you stand, hips pressed
into the counter, scarfing down
the dry sandwich, wondering
what the hell is wrong with you
that you can’t make nourishment
for yourself like you do for others.

Sweetheart, you don’t have to wonder.
It’s human.

It’s human to cut these corners
when one more thing,
even something juicy,
is too much.
