Mindfulness Tip #24

When you feel the urge to avoid (scrolling instead of starting, canceling plans, procrastinating, shutting down), pause and label what’s happening:
- Avoidance or anxiety is present
- Discomfort is here
- Everything is overwhelming

This simple shift to pause and reflect, does three things:
1. It separates you from the urge
2. It interrupts the autopilot decision, allowing you to choose how to proceed
3. It builds distress tolerance

Join us in implementing this Mindfulness Tip this week!

Black History Month Highlight of the Week!

This week, we honor Lucy Craft Laney, a talented educator and leader whose legacy continues to inspire us.

Born in 1854, Lucy Craft Laney dedicated her life to expanding educational opportunities for Black students in the South. She founded the Haines Normal & Industrial Institute in Augusta, Georgia, which created a space where students could receive academic and vocational training at a time when access to quality education was limited.

Laney served as principal for 50 years, leading with vision, resilience, and unwavering commitment. Beyond education, she was also active in social advocacy, helping to support the formation of the NAACP chapter in 1918 and working to advance civil rights.

Her life reminds us that education is a powerful tool for change and that one persons dedication can shape countless futures.

Bebe Moore Campbell was an American author, journalist, teacher, and trailblazing mental health advocate. She worked to uplift the mental health needs of Black communities and underrepresented groups, at a time when these conversations were ignored.

She founded NAMI- Inglewood in a predominantly Black neighborhood to create a safe space where Black people could openly talk about mental health without stigma.

Because of her work, Congress officially recognized June as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month on June 2, 2008, honoring the unique mental health challenges faced by marginalized communities in the U.S.

At The Center for Mindfulness and CBT, we practice noticing our thoughts with compassion, not judgement. When we name what’s arising, we give ourselves room to respond with intention instead of reacting on autopilot.

Happy Black History Month! This week, we honor Marsha P. Johnson - a Black transgender activist and a central figure in the early LGBTQ+ movement. Marsha’s life was rooted in generosity, joy, and deep community care. She supported unhoused LGBTQ+ youth, advocated fiercely for safety and dignity, and showed us that resistance can be joyful and love can be revolutionary!

As we celebrate Black History Month, we reflect on Marsha’s legacy and the reminder she leaves us: mindfulness is not separate from justice, it lives in how we care for one another.

Winter can feel heavy. Dark mornings, early sunsets, low energy. Instead of fighting it, try honoring the season you’re in. ❄️

Nature slows down in winter—and so can we. Why not lean into that slowness?

This week, notice where you’re asking too much of yourself.
✨ Can you rest a little more?
✨ Move more gently?
✨ Lower the bar without guilt?

Slower doesn’t mean stuck. It means attuned.
