Committing to 30 days of mindfulness can have a profoundly positive impact on an individual’s life. There is more than one way to practice mindfulness, but the goal of any mindfulness technique is to achieve a state of alert, focused relaxation by deliberately paying attention to this precious present moment and establishing moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, through a gentle, nurturing lens, without judgement.

According to Jon Kabbat-Zinn who did much of the early research on the effectiveness of mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts, there are seven key attitudes of mindfulness which include:

By committing to 30 days of mindfulness, individuals can begin to cultivate this practice of presence and experience the many benefits that come with it. My hope is that by sharing this challenge, you will be able to improve the overall quality of your life and make mindfulness and life-long practice so that you can experience a greater sense of peace, and joy, increase resilience, and navigate life with greater ease.

Committing to a 30-day mindfulness practice will have a profound impact on your life. By improving your mental health, increasing self-awareness, and developing greater compassion and empathy, you will become a better human in this fast-paced, high-stress world.

As Deepak Chopra said, “Mindfulness is a way of being, a way of living, and a way of experiencing the world that leads to greater peace, happiness, and fulfillment.” And don’t you crave peace, happiness, and fulfillment? I know I did when I began my own mindfulness journey.

Mindfulness played a major role in my healing journey while recovering from breast cancer in 2020, double mastectomies, and reconstruction. My cancer diagnosis led to an awakening that I was in a toxic marriage to a grandiose narcissist, had lost myself, was disconnected from passion and purpose, and found I was living an untethered existence of people pleasing. No one around me was authentic or even happy. I ended up depressed, scared, and confused.

Not really knowing what to do, I started my wellness and healing journey by spending a lot of time in nature, signing up for things such as a mindfulness class, tai chi, yoga, equine therapy, talk therapy, and listening to a ton of self-help books. I became certified as an equine therapist and as a mindfulness-meditation teacher. I was also accepted into a master’s degree program at my local university in clinical mental health counseling. I wanted to not only heal but help others who found themselves in an existential crisis after multiple traumas and living in stress
response. I started Thrive Farm to create a healing space for my people and offer mindfulness, coaching, equine therapy, breakthrough weekends, and healing retreats.

I am still working on my second master’s degree in counseling, and I am a 20-year veteran public school teacher. My experiences and personal trauma, along with my education and intentions, have led me to my passion and purpose of helping people like you heal and recover through research-based techniques that cultivate homeostasis, peace, and joy in those I serve.
