Quotes
“But for me its the same mindfulness practices and tools that I had been using to navigate my busy life as a female entrepreneur, are the same ones I am coming back to now, even more so as we try to navigate this tricky time.” (6:04)
“I think of mindfulness as both formal and informal practices, but short simple practices that can be easily incorporated into your morning routine. Things that you can do while on a walk with your dog, around the dinner table with your kids, things you can incorporate into your skincare routine, your commute. So I am a lot about micro-mindfulness practices that you can integrate into what you already do.” (8:07)
“It is not a luxury to be looking for the good right now, it is a necessity.” (14:16)
“That gives kids a sense of control, a sense of stability that helps offset the anxiety. And it helps us all get to a point where we can start to feel more in a routine and feel more productive in this new normal.” (26:52)
“Whether you are the person that is buying all the toilet paper because that makes you feel better, or whether you are the person that is in denial, or whether you are the person that wants to go back to work right now, or wherever, we are all coming from different places. And just to view all of those perspectives with kindness. We are all doing the best we can.” (28:47)
