Jane Lodato: Pause
Insert a Pause into your day to decrease stress, gain perspective, focus and ease. We all get hijacked by our thoughts and feelings, often they are habitual. With practice, you can rewire your brain to identify and decrease your own reactivity which in turn can make your life easier. While we cannot change what comes at us any given moment we do have a choice as to how we want to respond. In that choice lies the opportunity to live with increased ease.

One Thing at a Time
In a world where we often feel we can never get everything done, we try to do more and more by constantly multitasking. Peter Drucker, a business and leadership scholar and teacher, wrote a book titled "The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done". In that book he points out that those who are most effective at getting things done do one thing at a time. This priciple is aligned with mindfulness which cultivates our ability to be fully aware in the present. Letting go of multitasking will not only help to get more done, but will diminsh the accompanying feelings of being overwhlemed and undelying anxiety that comes along with that.
