Synopsis
Between balancing a career, maintaining a personal life, and the stress and anxiety of living through a pandemic, women often find themselves facing a never-ending to-do list. Even with all the resources of modern convenience, they are more stressed and overwhelmed than ever. In Don't Forget to Breathe, psychotherapist Shonda Moralis reminds women that they're not superheroes--and that's OK. Rooted in her personal experience as a business owner and working mom, Moralis coaches readers through sixty "mindfulness breaks," and shares how to:
- Breathe to promote calmness and awareness with meditation. For example, while waiting--at the grocery store, while your computer is loading, every time you reach for your phone--try redirecting your attention to your breath. Notice when your attention wanders.
- Be yourself and build confidence.
- Reach for success by setting--and conquering--realistic goals.
While waiting on line to check out, while getting dressed, or when you reach for your phone, anyone can take those five minutes to reset, refocus, and achieve balance with a mindful break.
This is a much-needed reminder of the essential to-do list item we often overlook: don't forget to breathe.
