The internet is a smorgasbord of information. You can read and learn about any topic! They range from “How to Attract Your Soul Mate,” to “How to Overcome Anxiety in 5 Easy Steps” to scientific articles like “Change Your Brain and Transform Your Life.” We don’t have a shortage of virtual advice. Yet, just like overeating at a giant buffet, if you consume too much, the result is indigestion and brain fog.

I'm no stranger to mind mapping; I've created them frequently over the years. It’s fun, effective, and utilizes the natural processes of the brain. *Estimated reading time: 3 minutes* [Read More](https://blog.heartmanity.com/mind-mapping-a-fun-way-to-process-organize-and-remember-information) Posted in [Brain Fitness, Mindfulness and Perspective](https://blog.heartmanity.com/topic/brain-fitness-mindfulness-and-perspective) Facebook Twitter Pinterest Google+ LinkedIn ## [*Intentionality: Choose Intention, Not Tension*](https://blog.heartmanity.com/intentionality-choose-intention-not-tension) September 28, 2018 [![Intentionality: Choose Intention, Not Tension](https://blog.heartmanity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Reset%20Button.jpg?width=600&name=Reset%20Button.jpg)](https://blog.heartmanity.com/intentionality-choose-intention-not-tension) With all the daily ups and downs and the moment-by-moment challenges that arise in our lives, it's easy to forget that we have a say in how we feel. We have the ability to choose our response no matter what happens (and things *do* happen). It's called being intentional, and when setting intentions, we bring more joy into our life. We can begin to create the quality of our experience mindfully, even when it doesn’t feel like we have any choice. This is why mindfulness is so powerful. *Estimated reading time: 4 minutes* [Read More](https://blog.heartmanity.com/intentionality-choose-intention-not-tension) Posted in [Brain Fitness, Mindfulness and Perspective](https://blog.heartmanity.com/topic/brain-fitness-mindfulness-and-perspective) Facebook Twitter Pinterest Google+ LinkedIn ## [*Resiliency—the Ability to Bounce Back*](https://blog.heartmanity.com/resiliency-the-ability-to-bounce-back) July 20, 2018 [![Resiliency—the Ability to Bounce Back](https://blog.heartmanity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Motivational-text-INHALE-EXHALE-BREATHE-000078739169_Medium-compressor.jpg?width=600&name=Motivational-text-INHALE-EXHALE-BREATHE-000078739169_Medium-compressor.jpg)](https://blog.heartmanity.com/resiliency-the-ability-to-bounce-back) A story—and a need for resiliency. One beautiful autumn evening, after a full day with clients, I was carrying the groceries through the living room when I noticed my dog's peculiar paw prints on wet carpet. In shock, I quickly dumped the bags on a table and walked into our kitchen, which now resembled a toddler's wading pool. *Estimated reading time: 3 minutes* [Read More](https://blog.heartmanity.com/resiliency-the-ability-to-bounce-back) Posted in [Brain Fitness, Mindfulness and Perspective](https://blog.heartmanity.com/topic/brain-fitness-mindfulness-and-perspective), [Emotional Intelligence & Fitness](https://blog.heartmanity.com/topic/emotional-intelligence-fitness) Facebook Twitter Pinterest Google+ LinkedIn ## [*Making Mindfulness Practical in Business*](https://blog.heartmanity.com/making-mindfulness-practical-in-business) June 05, 2018 [![Making Mindfulness Practical in Business](https://blog.heartmanity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Carpenters-at-work-528477372_2125x1416-compressor.jpeg?width=600&name=Carpenters-at-work-528477372_2125x1416-compressor.jpeg)](https://blog.heartmanity.com/making-mindfulness-practical-in-business) The practice of mindfulness is becoming all the rage. Our fast-paced, high-tech lives have left many of us too stressed out to be happy. And it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find meaning and purpose in what we do, something becoming increasingly important for future generations.

And still another to visualize yourself ACHIEVINGyour goal. The last option is often the most powerful yet least appreciated. Visualization has been cited as a game-changer by athletes like Olympian Kerri Walsh, celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith, and Jim Carrey, and influential business people like Bo Bennet and Harvey Mackay.

And you are probably losing. Technology addiction, screen time, the black hole of the internet, Reddit, and the endless scroll of Instagram and TikTok—not to mention those notifications every time an email slides in! The widespread influence of tech is part of our daily lives.

Maybe you’ve seen the Love Has No Labels images? A white square superimposed over a picture of your friend, mom, coworker, or an NFL quarterback, celebrity, or news anchor. Inside the box, this phrase: “love has no labels.” This campaign—though “campaign” can’t really capture its essence—spread fast.*Estimated reading time: 3 minutes* [Read More](https://blog.heartmanity.com/love-has-no-labels-breaking-down-the-walls-of-bias-and-prejudice) Posted in [Communication & Interpersonal Skills](https://blog.heartmanity.com/topic/communication-interpersonal-skills), [Brain Fitness, Mindfulness and Perspective](https://blog.heartmanity.com/topic/brain-fitness-mindfulness-and-perspective) Facebook Twitter Pinterest Google+ LinkedIn ## [*What Is Mindfulness? And Why All of the Hubbub?*](https://blog.heartmanity.com/what-is-mindfulness-and-why-all-of-the-hubbub) September 06, 2017 [![What Is Mindfulness? And Why All of the Hubbub?](https://blog.heartmanity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Concept-of-human-intelligence.-858292980_2043x1472-1.jpeg?width=600&name=Concept-of-human-intelligence.-858292980_2043x1472-1.jpeg)](https://blog.heartmanity.com/what-is-mindfulness-and-why-all-of-the-hubbub) We know that the brain plays a central and critical role in just about everything, from our thoughts to our emotions, to our behavior—for better or worse! Our brain is the engine. Research has also shown us that our brains have the incredible capacity to rewire themselves. Sit quietly with that thought for a moment. The ability of the brain to rewire is revolutionary and life-changing. This knowledge puts us in the driver’s seat of our lives. And practicing mindfulness builds greater self-awareness and enhances our mental health. *Estimated reading time: 6 minutes* [Read More](https://blog.heartmanity.com/what-is-mindfulness-and-why-all-of-the-hubbub) Posted in [Brain Fitness, Mindfulness and Perspective](https://blog.heartmanity.com/topic/brain-fitness-mindfulness-and-perspective) Facebook Twitter Pinterest Google+ LinkedIn ## [*How to Boost Your Joy, Career and Love Life by Mindfulness*](https://blog.heartmanity.com/how-to-boost-your-joy-career-and-love-life-by-mindfulness) August 12, 2017 [![How to Boost Your Joy, Career and Love Life by Mindfulness](https://blog.heartmanity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Older%20man%20lying%20barefooted%20on%20a%20lounge%20chair%20relaxing%20in%20a%20meadow%20of%20poppies..jpeg?width=600&name=Older%20man%20lying%20barefooted%20on%20a%20lounge%20chair%20relaxing%20in%20a%20meadow%20of%20poppies..jpeg)](https://blog.heartmanity.com/how-to-boost-your-joy-career-and-love-life-by-mindfulness) I recently found myself standing in the produce section of Whole Foods, somewhere between the lettuce and onion island, and I had no idea how I’d gotten to where I was. This is not an abduction story, a memory-lapse or early-onset Alzheimer's.
