Less Reacting, More Pausing: Mindfulness Strategies for Women in Business with Rosa Castano

Jul 26

There a wellness practice that’s lumped under the label of “new age” that’s been around for centuries and that is mindfulness. But what is it? What does it do? And does it really WORK.

Mindfulness often gets lumped in with meditation but what it comes down to is this:

Paying attention on purpose.

Noticing.

Getting curious.

And, according to Rosa Castano, it is the secret tool you can start using today for stress management and, more specifically, handling things that come up that you automatically react to. (Especially in the workplace, but really in all facets of life!)

BE PREPARED TO LEARN:

How to incorporate little mindfulness moments throughout your day;
Why, sometimes, we need to strip away our "roles" and professions and connect on a human level;
What we can learn from our children about curiosity and a beginner's mindset;
Our responding instinct (and how to put it on pause); and
Using habit stacking to your mindfulness advantage.

Plus, listen in for the holisti-somatic history lesson on nettle 🌱
