Calm is Contagious

You can help others by practicing mindfulness yourself.

“Research shows that meditating benefits everyone around you- whether you are in the same household or connecting virtually.”- mindful.org

In families, when one person practices mindfulness, it impacts the happiness of other family members.

When parents practice mindfulness, studies show that the whole family is happier.

When one spouse practices mindfulness both are happier with the relationship. And the relationship is less reactive and less conflict-driven.

What’s even better?

The impact doesn't stop with the people in our home. There is a ripple effect of mindfulness.

“Interpersonal Neurobiology” demonstrates impact 4 degrees of separation away.

There is a common saying. “You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.” These days this includes physically and on social media.

More evidence supporting one of my favorite concepts that self-care is NOT selfish.

Do it for you and watch mindfulness and all its benefits spread to your families, your patients, and the world.

The ripple effect of mindfulness on public health and happiness is why I pivoted to mindful life coaching, teaching yoga, and sharing mindfulness through the Mindful Healthcare Collective, the Mindful Healing Collective, and Pause and Presence Coaching.
