Happy Day, Friend! On this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing some of my fav mind training tools.  These tools are great for all ages! It’s a process of training our mind in focused attention. As Dr. Dan Seigel says, “The heart of training the mind is how we learn to focus attention.” ~ When we learn to master ourselves, we learn how to create the life we truly desire. The father of modern psychology, William James said, “The training of attention allows one to become a master of oneself.”When you learn to train your attention, you will have the most important skill you need to create anything in life you’ve ever wanted. It's possible for you, and the young people you teach, lead, and serve. Want more?If you are ready to dive more deeply into using these tools, you want to have an experienced mindfulness coach help you navigate your own mental and emotional terrain so you can be the best educator or parent you can be, and you want to show up with ready-to-use mindfully-centered SEL tools in your home or class then be sure to check out my program re-opening up this fall – Mindfulness Education University for Educators. Before you dive in, if you have any questions, thoughts, or comments: connect with me on social media @atheadavis!   And, don’t forget to subscribe so you can stay tuned in to all the mindful living love.Stay connected 👉 @atheadavis on all the social channels. Keep breathing deep and shining bright, Friend! ☀️XO ~ Athea P.S.

Happy Day, Friend! On this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about building resilience. My special guest, Jay Abbasi, talks about his personal journey through grief and loss when he lost his father to a heart attack in 2014. It was learning self-observation through mindfulness practices that transformed Jay’s life and helped him build resilience, better mental and physical health, and relationships. Jay discovered his purpose through his grief and loss journey, and now is dedicated to sharing these tools with businesses so they too can help those they lead to transform their relationship to stress, burnout, and overwhelm, and build resilience.

Seriously, they are great for all ages. Kids are plugged in to technology almost 24/7, they are more stressed than ever, and though we don’t have any hard date on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their social and emotional health, we can take a healthy surmise and see there will no doubt be some adverse SEL impacts here. It’s nothing we can’t tackle though, so that’s why I’m sharing these tools now. If you are ready to dive more deeply into using these tools, you want to have an experienced mindfulness coach help you navigate your own mental and emotional terrain so you can be the best educator or parent you can be, and you want to show up with ready-to-use mindfully-centered SEL tools in your home or class then be sure to check out my program re-opening up this fall – Mindfulness Education University for Educators. Don’t forget to connect with me on social media @atheadavis + subscribe to the podcast so you can stay tuned to all the mindful living love.If you love this episode, screenshot it and share on social media, tag me @atheadavis, and use #mindfulivingpodcast. Keep breathing deep and shining bright, Friend! ☀️XO ~ Athea P.S. 📱Follow me on IG, FB, Twitter, and LinkedIn: @atheadavis✨ Take one of my live mindfulness trainings, digital courses, and purchase my books and products at www.atheadavis.com.
