In this episode of Wellness Wisdom Camille interviews Vicki Kennedy Overfelt, Teacher in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction from the Utah Center for Mindfulness with over 20 years experience teaching and studying stress and mindfulness. Stress is a major health crisis and causes widespread suffering.  It can lead to a decline in physical, emotional, and mental health.  Our lives are overly busy, distracted, and confused. We are often mindlessly on autopilot.  

Tune into this episode to learn the power of the “present” moment and tuning into your experience.  Mindfulness is a chance to focus on "being" rather than "doing."  Vicki will help us explore how we can eat, move, and do daily tasks with mindful awareness.  Learn how to hold yourself with compassion and how to be a witness to your mental patterns.

When we pay attention to our thoughts, our movements, our daily life with compassion, kindness, and curiosity we open ourselves up to a world of joy, stillness, and peace. Join us as we discuss the relationship between mindfulness and meditation.  Are you curious about how mindfulness works?  Vicki will guide us through a short “STOP” practice during this episode. Take this practice home to tune into your body and be more comfortable, at ease, and resilient to stress.  

Pain is an inherent part of life, suffering is a choice.
