Everyday Mindfulness, With Dr. Peggy Sheehan

What is Everyday Mindfulness?

Everyday Mindfulness: The ability to stay grounded in the current moment, and simply be present with whatever is happening.

It sounds so simple, yet it’s so hard. What’s easy? Getting swept away by distractions, thoughts, feelings, daydreams, and worries about things that might happen. As a therapist and life coach who works with clients online all over the world, I know one common factor between us all – we all get swept up in the “what if’s” from time to time. When we live in our heads, which most of us do most of the time, we’re not really here. And that’s too bad because the world is a beautiful place.

Practicing Everyday Mindfulness

Our ambient stress and future focus are even more pronounced in the weeks leading up to the holiday season, so I thought that this would be a good time to revisit some simple everyday mindfulness skills that will help you be able to slow down, breathe, enjoy this special time of year, and let go of what’s holding you back.

My guest on The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast today is Dr. Peggy Sheehan. She’s a Denver-based physician who teaches Dr. John Kabat Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program through Kaiser Permanente, as well as a spiritual director of the Zen Center of Denver. She knows a lot about everyday mindfulness: The benefits of the practice, everyday practices that will help you to slow down, and how to be more peaceful and present with your life. Today, she’s sharing her wisdom with you.
