NYMetroParents – “The Scoop”

Austin Tang — Fri, 07 Jan 2022 16:27:56 +0000

Hi Manhattan Moms & Dads,

What a crazy year it’s been! I know we aren’t even a full week in, but it’s been one roller coaster ride of a week for me.

If you’re also already over 2022, use me as your friendly reminder to keep your mental health in check this year. Your focus might be more on hitting the gym and counting your calories than taking the time to Woosah your way to a happier life, but it’s important to remember your mental health is just as important as your physical health.

Here’s hoping for a better second week of January! Happy New Year!

Work Mindfulness Project Event

admin — Thu, 15 May 2014 19:12:41 +0000

Work Mindfulness Project Event is really happening! Keith Fiveson organized a wonderful event. The event featured Sharon Salzberg’s “Real Happiness at Work” meditations, Dr. Miles Neal, and Dr. Joe Loizzo . People attended to find out about neuroscience, mindfulness and employee and customer engagement. So, I encourage you to come, bring your business friends, cards and brochures and take a morning for mindfulness. My hope and intention is that we may, as a community, help, transform, or create a pathway towards happier experiences in the workplace. Profits from this event will be donated to Nalanda Institute and back to the The Work Mindfulness Project development fund.
