    1. My pleasure!

      I was thinking about how at peace I feel when I’m enjoying “coffee talk” with my husband John at 6am every morning (especially this morning) and how could I bring that zen feeling with me all day long.

      Conscious breathing for me is key. Simple & equally profound. From time travelling in my head to back to the “here & now” in an instant.

      What brings you back to the present moment?

        1. Great strategies! Visualization is such a powerful tool. I used it often in my work as a school psychologist to help students with test anxiety, and the young ones in kindergarten with separation anxiety. To this day, I use it with nursing students at the college. Transformative technique for students & professors!

  3. This is why I smoke a pipe every couple of days: it’s a ritual that forces me to sit, relax, and set aside 30-45 minutes either alone with my thoughts or with my wife. As I look back on the past few years, some of those moments on the porch, just taking in the beauty of the sky, the sights and sounds that surround us, and the relaxing flavor of a nice tobacco coupled with a hot cup of coffee recharges my mind like nothing else.

  7. Hello Dr Dinardo,
    Thank you for the reminder. I’m a bit of a one for letting my mind wander except in for a few things where I just lose myself. It’s a special feeling.
    I’m attempting to spread it into other activities too now🙋🏻💕💐

  8. Within each breath when we breathe that little deeper, we do indeed find more peace.. learning to take time, and breathe and exhale the worry and tensions you carry, Can be a wonderful healer, and within a few moments Balance can be helped to be restored..
    Lovely quote There is only one moment that matters, and that is the Now Moment. 🙂

      1. Yes Andrea, now is ALL there is.. sadly so many people live in the past and yearn for the future as they let the present slip by.. Which is why the ‘Present’ is such a gift to treasure..
        Wishing you a Peaceful week
        Sue 🙂

  13. Dr. Andrea, reading your blog is an excellent way to start the day. You are a cup of coffee, sweet banana, or a favorite tune to hum or sing out loud, for the soul before the start of each day. Thank you!
