Cultivating Mindfulness in Everyday Life

Feeling overwhelmed or disconnected?  Do you sometimes feel like life is passing you by in a blur or you're getting by on auto-pilot?

​People often mistake mindfulness as being a form of meditation or relaxation.  But it is neither.  Although feeling relaxed may be a by-product at times, it is not the main intention in practicing mindfulness.  Instead, mindfulness means being awake to and actively engaged in the present-moment experience of your life, in an accepting and non-judgmental way.

​Mindfulness brings awareness, shedding light on our habitual, unconscious behavior patterns and mindsets.  This is empowering in that it allows you to choose your responses, here and now, instead of reacting automatically. ​
Some people go through their entire lives not realizing just how much control they actually have over how they experience things.  We have more control over our mindset than we have grown to believe.  We have control over where we choose to place our attention; we choose how and where to invest our time, energy, and effort; we choose what we hold onto and make part of our story and what we simply let go; and we choose the attitude and outlook that we bring to each situation.

One area where mindfulness is so powerful is in watching your thoughts.  What is your mind telling you and how much of it are you believing?  Our minds narrate what’s going on around us, running it through our own personal filtering system (our beliefs and expectations), to reach a conclusion that we then call reality. 

​Mindfully checking in on how you feel in situations, what emotions are coming up for you as a result of your thoughts, can be equally as powerful.  You can then direct your breath and attention to process these emotions and let them pass through you, rather than resisting and suppressing.
​
​Suffering results when we resist our current experience.  Through mindfulness, we can practice accepting what is, while it is, instead of investing our energy fighting against it, wishing it away, or getting angry or upset about it.  We can learn more about what is going on internally and become more engaged with what is happening externally.

Through coaching, you can work towards developing mindfulness.  Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Bobbi Beuree, Coach + Facilitator

Navigating some pretty big challenges in my life took me to a deep place where I could learn more about myself, life, and the people and world around me.  I'm so grateful that, through coaching, I get to share that with others, while helping them to make sense of their own experience.

Like so many others, I know what it's like to feel anxious, and hopeless, lost and defeated.  And I also know what it's like to feel energized, excited, and inspired! I've come to know on a deep level that the latter is our true nature, but that it is often covered up by our beliefs, thinking patterns, emotional reactions, habits, and more.

I've spent the last 15 years working with people, helping them to grow in self-awareness, uncover their full potential, and  create lives that are full, engaged, and meaningful.  Specializing in Mindset Coaching has been so rewarding as I watch clients reach powerful new insights around what they are capable of!
