Mindfulness Isn’t Just Meditation: How to Actually Be Present in Your Busy Life / Ep 136

We hear the word mindfulness all the time, but what does it actually mean… and more importantly, how do we practice it in real life? In this episode, Maria, Tara and Elizabeth have a refreshingly real conversation on what mindfulness looks like outside of a yoga studio. From zoning out while driving to doom scrolling (or as Maria calls it — dumbscrolling), we explore how modern life disconnects us from the present moment — and how small shifts can bring us back to ourselves. In this episode: Why mindfulness isn’t just for people who meditate The difference between mindfulness and meditation Everyday moments where you’re probably already practicing mindfulness (and don’t even know it) The physical and emotional health benefits of mindfulness — backed by science Personal stories of how we each stay present  Resources & Mentions: – Tara’s in-person Progressive Relaxation class – May 6 at 7 PM – Relax and Renew: An Hour of Progressive Relaxation with Tara: https://checkout.square.site/merchant/FAFGA8EEASMD9/checkout/OQPHVJYKUKEMAJPRBFIJ2QDX – Emotional Fitness Studio’s upcoming in-person events: https://thecoachingtherapist.com/emotional-fitness-studio/ – Related episode: 129.
