@Shauna Hay-Viets this was so great!! Mindfulness honestly changed my life when I did it consistently. Your breakdown was so clear and I wish I had something like this when I first learned about it! One of my biggest takeaways that I continue to struggle with is the non-identification. It can be so easy to attach to your thoughts or emotions and say “I am this thought” instead of “I’m having this thought”. It helps so much to create that distance between ourselves and our thoughts/emotions. Thank you for taking the time to break this down!

Hey yall! I’m Jacob and I’m a PhD student, educator, and coach, and I live in Cookeville, TN (about an hour east of Nashville). I love snowboarding and fly fishing when the seasons are right!

@Shauna Hay-Viets I appreciate it! Yeah I wish I could get on the mountain more often, but I take what I can get. I’m excited to be here!
