Recent research by Scientific Reports illuminates how our brains benefit from mindfulness:

After 40 days of mindfulness training, imaging techniques revealed alterations in the precuneus and posterior cingulate cortex, which are brain regions thought to involved at various levels in self-awareness and consciousness. They also play critical roles in the Default Mode Network, a vast network of interconnected structures that contributes to perception of one’s own emotional state, understanding others’ thoughts and emotion, and moral reasoning. In addition to these neurological changes, participants also showed a marked decrease in both depressive and anxious tendencies.

Felt inspired to write this :) Writing out thoughts at this time definitely has a therapeutic effect. As social psychologist James Pennebaker's research shows, writing has wide-ranging effects. In fact, writing about trauma reduces stress and aids immunity! "Writing it out" enables us to not only get the wadded nests outside of our heads untangled into words on paper - it also enables us to gain a birds' eye view of any given situation, allowing us to see different angles, and gain perspective. “As a result of this intervention several studies have found drops in self-reported depression or distress." (Pennebaker, 2006). I hope this article provides some solace and insight at this time of unprecedented pandemic pandemonium! I also encourage you to write, or engage in any art form that aids you in processing and externalizing emotions!

With love, and stay well!

"I'm not blind - my vision is 20/20 in the dark."
- Stevie Wonder, 1970.

I invite you to close your eyes. Connect to your unique "Wonder Vision" 😎 of how you imagine your life to be like today, this year, and upcoming decade.

How do you plan to bring your visions that have not (yet) manifested into the physical realm to life?

Continue seeing through this lense of "Wonder Vision" 😎 and you will continually move towards it! (Remember, inch by inch is a cinch and yard by yard is very hard! Let’s make this vision equally groovy and sustainable!) First and foremost see and feel it, make subtle shifts, and take aligned action!

There is no such thing as balance, only integration. Vision > Shift > Aligned Action sustain a heart-fueled flow towards a Wonder Vision.

I have faith in all of your groovy, innovative, & impactful visions and look forward to co-creating with you. ✨💐

Cheers to 2020, my friends.
