Mindfulness at Work: 3 Micro-Strategies

Mindfulness at work doesn’t require silence, or sitting cross legged on the floor, or even stepping away from your desk. In a busy office, small moments of self awareness can reset your mind, and improve focus.

3 quick strategies:

• Three-breath pause: Take three slow breaths before responding to an email.

• Ground your body: Place your feet on the floor and notice physical sensations for ten seconds during meetings.

• Name the feeling: Silently give a name to what you’re experiencing—“stress,” “pressure,” or “focus”—do so without judgment.

These practices take less than a minute, and can calm reactivity and sharpen attention throughout the day. Dx

I’m often asked how to eat healthy with limited time. This from start to plate in the sink was under 30 minutes. I like food to taste good, and when what I like, also benefits my body, happy bonus.

I also believe in the 80/20 principle with most things. Food is included in this. The cheese (Parmesan) was halved as it for me was too much once I started to grate. I also added pumpkin seeds for crunch at the end. I hope you enjoy Dx

So many have trouble speaking up for themselves for fear of upsetting someone, creating disharmony.

If you can’t speak up for yourself, how can you speak up / advocate for others?

Having self worth is key. Having boundaries is next in line. Knowing you are worth these boundaries sees you maintaining them. Having boundaries and not seeing your self worth, will see your boundaries continually breached. Which will leave you questioning everything.

Reinforce your self worth, believe it, develop your boundaries and then fortify them. You are worth it Dx

There is a lot out there about va**ng. Too easy to get. Quick regular hits throughout the day. And so very damaging. Dx

- Medical professionals are sounding the alarm about a serious and potentially permanent lung condition increasingly linked to va**ng. Commonly referred to as “popcorn lung,” or bronchiolitis obliterans, the disease damages the smallest airways in the lungs, leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath that can worsen over time.

The nickname “popcorn lung” originated from cases reported in workers at microwave popcorn factories who were exposed to the chemical diacetyl—once commonly used to create buttery flavors. Although diacetyl has been banned in some products, studies have found it in certain flavored e-cigarettes and v**e liquids.

Experts warn that long-term inhalation of these substances can cause lasting harm to the lungs. Unlike other lung issues that may improve with treatment, popcorn lung is irreversible and has no known cure—only symptom management.

Public health officials are urging v**ers, especially young people, to reconsider their use of e-cigarettes, as research continues to uncover the long-term effects of inhaling vaporized chemicals.

“This is not just harmless water vapor,” one pulmonologist said. “We’re seeing real, permanent damage in otherwise healthy individuals.”

It’s been a while. Today I had to share. I went to the Sunflower Festival at Kalbar. Which is amazing. Many photo ops. They raise some money for charity. Which is great. $2 from every $30 ticket sold, over 12,000 tickets. .50 from every sunflower sold. A bunch of 5 for $15. Well over 100 volunteers that ensure it runs smoothly. Beautiful, generous. And at the end of the day an extremely good business model. We stopped at the Royal Pub at Kalbar. A gentleman walked in with the most exquisite bunches of sunflowers- all varieties. I asked where mine were. He stopped and chatted and invited us to his sunflower farm. A small family run business, where they have small patches of sunflowers growing all year. You can stroll through them and pick your own. Entry is $20 which includes 6 stems of several varieties of Sunflowers. I will absolutely be going back. The name is thank you for your hospitality, we will be back Deb x

Time to make your own hot shots. After the basics turmeric, ginger, cayenne, lemon, pepper and coconut oil. Add whatever you like. You can add honey or maple. If honey use wood, metal degrades the enzymes. I also added cinnamon and a pineapple core. Why pepper and coconut oil? It acts as a conduit for the curcumin in the turmeric. If using fresh turmeric chop and gently simmer (not boil) for 7-10 minutes it releases the goodness. Ginger, I simmered half and used the rest fresh (slightly different profile). All washed well with the skin on. Oh and good quality water. Strain and take a shot daily. I had 4 as it wouldn’t all fit in the bottle Dx
