These days, I find myself growing increasingly stressed and overloaded. Whether it’s social media, TV, the pressure of working two jobs, raising three young children, or just maintaining my household, I feel like I can rarely escape the ever-growing to-do list. So when I heard about UCLA’s Mindful app, I was intrigued: Maybe this would … Read more

I have many responsibilities in my life as a wife, mother, nurse, daughter to sick parents, and graduate student (to name a few). Managing stress and anxiety is key for me.

Wake up early, meditate, conquer your day! It sounds like something out of a “rise-and-grind” playbook, we know. If you’ve never meditated before, it can have a sort of “woowoo” connotation with it. Sit still and try to do your best to think about nothing at all? What’s that supposed to do? Here’s the thing about meditation, though: … Read more

As a yoga enthusiast, I love trying different types of meditation. Although it sounds super simple, most of us know that sitting still and paying attention is a lot harder than it sounds.
