Calming Down, Part II: Mindfulness
Suzanne interviews Teresa McKee, mindfulness teacher and embodiment of deep, calming presence. Mindfulness has been proven to increase productivity and serenity! No matter where you spend the bulk of your day, your environment impacts you. That’s why I did a blog called How Does Your Work Environment Impact Your Self-Care. It’s got 8 actionable ideas you can put to use right now to make your barren hotdesk feel more like a home, and your home office feel more like a supportive workplace. Enjoy! Today’s guest, Teresa McKee, left a lasting impression on me. She’s the embodiment of mindfulness, a practice she cultivated carefully and committedly over a long period of time—and her wisdom shines in this excellent interview. That’s why I invited her to be my guest in part II of my Calming Down set…. On the ancient, critically important practice of mindfulness. Among other things, I learned: What mindfulness actually is How Teresa got into it What the cost is of living unmindfully Signs of not being mindful The joys of ‘monotasking’ and the perils of multi-tasking How anyone can begin practicing mindfulness now It’s a special show. I hope you enjoy it. With love, Suzanne RESOURCES Buy Suzanne and the podcast a coffee! How Does Your Work Environment Impact Your Self-Care?
