Skimm Special: Mindfulness Over Matter Skimm This
-
- News
ICYMI, the last year has been stressful. But we can’t just unplug, wait a few seconds, and hope that everything returns to "normal" again. No matter how much we might want to.
That's why today, we're gonna dig into something that’s been generating a lot of buzz over the last few months: mindfulness.
First: We’ll hear from a Skimm’r who has used mindfulness to get through some tough moments – at home and in the classroom.
Then: It’s time to dig into the science. As in: What even is mindfulness? Why is everyone telling me how great it is? And, is there any actual evidence that it works?
Later: We’ll explore how mindfulness can help us stay engaged with the world around us.
Finally: What better way to wrap things up than by talking tips, techniques, and ways to apply mindfulness to improve our day-to-day?
On this episode, you’ll hear from:
Jennifer Hutchins, middle school English teacher and mindfulness practitioner
Dr. Tara Brach, clinical psychologist, author, “Radical Compassion: Learning to Love Yourself and Your World with the Practice of R.A.I.N.”
Bea Arthur, psychotherapist and CEO, The Difference
Jaclyn London, MS, RD, Head of Nutrition & Wellness, WW (Weight Watchers Reimagined)
