I was a guest on the #WinnieSun Twitter Chat
I recently had the privilege to chat with the #WinnieSun community on Twitter as a guest. The host, Winnie Sun, is a financial advisor, speaker, and founding partner of Sun Group Wealth Partners, a financial consulting firm. She’s a regular contributor to Forbes, Good Day LA, and Fox News. Winnie has appeared on the biggest business programs and channels in the country, including CNBC, ABC, CBS, Fox Business, hot finance startup Cheddar, and dozens of local network affiliates to help viewers better understand their money.
After being a huge fan of Winnie’s on social media for years, I finally met her at Social Media Marketing World in 2019. She organized a very intimate dinner, and I was invited! It was such a great experience to learn more about her awesomeness. I could spend hours listening to her! And she is even more GORGEOUS in person!
She started #WinnieSun and grew a fantastic community on Twitter over a few years, happening on Twitter on Wednesdays at 11 am Pacific / 2 pm Eastern.
The topic for the chat was “Mindful Moments” and I was a panelist with Dr. Rashmi Bismark, board-certified in Preventive Medicine, with passion and expertise from prevention, community health, health behavior, lifestyle medicine, and complementary & alternative therapies. She joined as a contributor to Yoga Medicine, a global community of teachers trained in the fusion of science & research with traditional practices & experience.
If you missed the chat, no worries! Below is the recap for you. Lots of great insights and tips about mindfulness!

A1a – Quote: “In today’s rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much, and forget about the joy of just being.” ~ @EckhartTolle
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
Glad that we’re talking about #mindfulness today, so needed during these challenging times!#WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
A1a. On my mind right now is an embodied sense of gratitude. We are finishing quarantine after international travel, and everyone’s well. I’m noticing a lightness in my heart and appreciation for health. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
Q2. The word “mindful” is so trendy these days. But what does it really mean and what does it mean to you? Is this a trend that’s here to stay? #WinnieSun pic.twitter.com/nXxh7KKVwM
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A2.1 “Mindfulness” is used in many ways. In psychology and healthcare, it refers to the broader sense of awareness we are connected to when we are intentionally paying attention, to present-moment experience, in ways that are non-judgemental, open, curious, and kind. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A2a: It should be a trend that’s here to stay. Being mindful keeps you more informed and involved. #WinnieSun
— Navicore Solutions (@navicorePR) August 12, 2020
A2.2 It’s a translation of the Pali word, sati, or smriti in Sanskrit. These words have to do with memory and remembrance. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A2.3 So to me, being “mindful” is embodying a remembrance of my awareness. It’s relating to life from a deep remembrance of the inner knowing and caring that is right here. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A2a.1 In my heart, mindfulness is much more than a trend. Like yoga, it is a philosophy of living and being in relationship with life that has been cherished in cultures across Asia for centuries. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A2 Being respectful to others and yourself. Also, kindness goes a long way with a smile. #WinnieSun
— Hadel S. Ma’ayeh (@Hadel) August 12, 2020
A2 – Being mindful means paying attention to the present moment, to what’s happening inside our mind, inside our body, and around us, non-judgmentally. It shouldn’t be seen as a trend, rather as a complimentary daily practice for optimal well-being. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A2a.2 I hope the “trendy moment” these age-old traditions are having will continue to thrive in popular culture and Western science. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A2a – Whenever I bring awareness to what I’m experiencing via my senses, thoughts, and emotions, I bring more value and purpose to my daily life. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A2 for me Mindfulness is a perfect example of “what is old is new again” – it’s rooted in civilizations far older than ours and I LOVE using it as a way to connect with my body, slow down, and to find my right path in all things #WinnieSun
— Founder of the #PRrevolution ∞ ❤️🍷 (@Gigi_Peterkin) August 12, 2020
a2) Trendy or not, there’s real value in being able to clear your mind to do your best work. Focus. Mindfulness. Clarity. Whatever you call it. Without it, things are just so much harder. #WInnieSun
— Amy Hampton 📚📚📚 (@lonedaisymedia) August 12, 2020
A2. When I think of mindful, the first thing that comes to mind is being aware of your surroundings as well as the person you are talking to. Make sure you don’t offend anyone when talking to them. People are more sensitive than others. Be mindful or aware of that. #WinnieSun
— Anthony Giannone (@lg217) August 12, 2020
A2. Mindful is to be acutely aware of something in particular. An example is Mindful eating. We are then aware what we are putting in our bodies. Mindless eating leads to eating more than you ought to, etc.,#WinnieSun
— Mark Barrus 🌎 (@MarkBarrusHypno) August 12, 2020
A2: For me, to be mindful is to be fully present, aware and intentional in the current moment. It’s a way of being as old human existence but in times of collective stress and chaos we are seeing more people awaken to the necessity of mindfulness. #winniesun
— Christina Ann (@Steena_2point0) August 12, 2020
A2. When I think of mindful, I think of mindset and taking time to focus on creating inner calm and peace that helps me move forward.
— Jim Fuhs #PodFestGlobalSummit (@FuhsionMktg) August 12, 2020
I don’t think of it as a trend, but something that successful, positive people will continue to embrace and have always used#WinnieSun https://t.co/QMsAMoHSZz
A2 I think it’s become trendy and has many different forms meanings. I hope mindfulness as a way to stay in the moment, process your feelings / situations and to find a way to accept yourself, your life. Also, it’s a good way to practice “you are not your feelings” #WinnieSun https://t.co/xsAXoKRHle
— Zala Bricelj – 🇸🇮 😊 #edutech is my jam (@ZalkaB) August 12, 2020
A2: Mindful means getting off the treadmill of life and paying attention to how I feel, think, and act consciously rather than unconsciously racing through each day. #winniesun https://t.co/aZKomx7vUI
— Lori Anding👑 || B🦠X it in || (@southbaysome) August 12, 2020
A2 Mindfulness is awareness in the moment. It’s focusing on the inner thoughts that impact your feelings and #productivity. It’s hearing your breath. It’s taking in all the small elements that holistically impact how you experience the moment. #winniesun #notonlymeditation
— Suzanne Brown/speaker & author (@mompowerment) August 12, 2020
A2. Mindful – I’d say,
— Eva Caletkova (@EvaCaletkova) August 12, 2020
for me it’s living in the present moment, now,
not filled with pain related to the past,
not filled with anxiety about the future.
Living in the present moment,
appreciating people in my life,
seeing you, seeing me, our beauty#WinnieSun #Tweetchat
A2: Be cognizant of what you are thinking, feeling and saying. And if you get triggered then why. #WinnieSun https://t.co/Q8LfzJ0mJv

Q3. What are the benefits of being mindful? What positive changes do you find personally that you attribute to practicing mindfulness? #WinnieSun pic.twitter.com/GOLd7DRn6a
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A3. For me, being mindful helps me be a better parent, partner, advisor, and friend. It’s important to slow down and have a full picture of who we are and how we reflect at that moment. #WinnieSun☀️
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A3. Reconnecting with a sense of inner belonging and trust. Uncovering the spaciousness within awareness to notice what’s happening, invite compassion, explore, and make skillful decisions. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A3a.1 Relating to life with more equanimity. Equanimity doesn’t mean caring any less. It means that I can meet life and the fullness of my emotions with more clarity. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A3: Being mindful can help you make new connections. You’ll be reaching new people and being aware of different issues. #WinnieSun
— Navicore Solutions (@navicorePR) August 12, 2020
A3a.2 This discernment lets me really contact what matters most so I can engage with life in more meaningful ways. It may not always play out as wonderful as this sounds, but mindfulness helps me remember self-compassion, too. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A3 in a world of insta-everything, mindfulness provides me with the space to pause & reflect. at the very least I avoid online arguments! at best I can lower my heart rate, my blood pressure and get mental clarity #WinnieSun
— Founder of the #PRrevolution ∞ ❤️🍷 (@Gigi_Peterkin) August 12, 2020
A3 – From decreasing stress/burnout and depression to promoting healing and recovery, improving well-being, increasing focus and productivity, boosting working memory, mindfulness is an excellent way to live better. #WInnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A3a – Mindfulness is connected to neuroplasticity: Our brain learns that we become more effective at everyday tasks when we are aware & observe without judgment. The brain then applies changes that improve our ability to function better. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A3b – Quote – “Life is a dance. Mindfulness is witnessing that dance.” – Amit Ray#WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance #Mindfulness
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A3. #mindfulness is a way of being accountable for actions and behaviors.#WinnieSun #mindful
— Mark Barrus 🌎 (@MarkBarrusHypno) August 12, 2020
A3.The benefits of being mindful is that you develop a very important socialization as well as believe it or not Street smarts skill. be mindful of those around you weather it is individuals or the environment. It is how you develop knowing when something is not right. #WinnieSun
— Anthony Giannone (@lg217) August 12, 2020
a3) Clarity. Emotional balance. Rational decision making on the facts and not rooted in emotion. My favorite tenet is “Give things their due and nothing more”. Mindfulness practice has helped a bunch dealing with COVID this year and all the changes. #WinnieSun
— Amy Hampton 📚📚📚 (@lonedaisymedia) August 12, 2020
A3: Being mindful has provided me clarity, confidence and ease in “better” decision making. It’s aided my sleep patterning and effctiveness as well as balance with energy theoighout day #winniesun
— Christina Ann (@Steena_2point0) August 12, 2020
A3. To me the benefits of being mindful
— Jim Fuhs #PodFestGlobalSummit (@FuhsionMktg) August 12, 2020
✅Clarity
✅Focus
✅Energy
My positive changes
✅Much more goal focused
✅Don’t dwell on the past
✅Acceptance of things out of my control#WinnieSun https://t.co/9kiHf1YmNZ
A3 How many times when someone asks how we are that we respond with “busy!” That doesn’t help us longterm. We need to have moments where we slow down. Mindfulness helps with that. It helps us move from simply doing to actually being aware of what is and isn’t working.#winniesun
— Suzanne Brown/speaker & author (@mompowerment) August 12, 2020
A3 When it comes to the benefits of mindfulness, I find I'm much calmer and at ease with my life. I don't feel anxious and I don't quickly lose my temper with my family. I'm also much more productive because I am focused. #winniesun
— Suzanne Brown/speaker & author (@mompowerment) August 12, 2020
Q4. Let’s start at the very beginning, a good place to start. What would you recommend someone who has never incorporated mindful practices to do to get started? What small mindful habits have made a profound impact on you? #WinnieSun pic.twitter.com/IGrPfc3ZRm
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A4. I would say to find a space or time or experience that helps you focus and hear yourself. We need to have a point where we can slow down in order to have clarity on how to speed up – at least for me anyway. #WinnieSun☀️
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
Agree Winnie! Creating a sacred space is a game changer. I have a spot carved out in my master suite where I can retreat. Instantly feeling calm, focused and centered upon entering. #winniesun
— Christina Ann (@Steena_2point0) August 12, 2020
Fact. #WinnieSun #Tweetchat #WednesdayWisdom pic.twitter.com/ccm1XuMgVw
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
I think it’s time we started prevention and focus on how we can apply techniques (like mindfulness, yoga, exercise) to lower our stress, manage our tempo before we need medication or treatments #WinnieSun
— Zala Bricelj – 🇸🇮 😊 #edutech is my jam (@ZalkaB) August 12, 2020
A4.1 Before jumping in, an important place to start is simply by contacting your intentions. Why do you want to develop a mindfulness practice? What is motivating you? What is it that is drawing you in? #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
YES! I love this – for me it’s the difference between a daily 15-20 mins meditating and deep breathing for a few minutes before tackling a difficult task/situation. different intentions & outcomes from each practice. #winniesun
— Founder of the #PRrevolution ∞ ❤️🍷 (@Gigi_Peterkin) August 12, 2020
A4.2 By clarifying our intentions, it helps us reconnect to purpose, especially when we feel like giving up or not making time for practice. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A4.3 When first starting a practice, a certain amount of consistency is key. Connecting the discipline of a practice with your intention helps to ritualize it – infusing the effort with heartfelt meaning. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A4 – Step 1: Start by choosing a comfortable place without distractions. Sit down with your eyes closed. Bring awareness to your breathing and what it feels like to breathe. Feel, don’t think. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A4a – Step 2: Bring attention to your entire body, your surroundings, and notice without judgment. Stay focused on your breathing. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A4a.1 In addition to formal practices like meditation and mindful movement, small habits like daily intention setting, journaling, and pausing during transitions in the day have helped me feel more present. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A4b – Step 3: Let your mind wander, acknowledge your thoughts, then let them go. Don’t let them distract you. Stay focused on your breathing.#WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A4 I would suggest to remember to breathe. Slow down and take a break. To see what is good around you and the world. Leave negativity out the door. Relaxation and sleep is very important. Take a mind break and walk or any activity that you enjoy. #WinnieSun
— Hadel S. Ma’ayeh (@Hadel) August 12, 2020
A4c – Do this for a few minutes every day and increase as you become more acquainted with the practice. Eventually, you’ll be able to take mindful breaks anytime, anywhere, and for longer periods of time. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A4: Start out your day with 5 minutes of meditation to get you in the right mindset to get you through the rest of your day. #WinnieSun
— Navicore Solutions (@navicorePR) August 12, 2020
A4. I great place to start is with “Breathing”. Be Mindful of each breath, and you will find that you are more aware of your body and surroundings.#WinnieSun
— Mark Barrus 🌎 (@MarkBarrusHypno) August 12, 2020
A4a.2 These small pauses are often short, maybe even just a minute, to reconnect with the breath, gather my focus, and attend to what’s here. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A4d – I love to pay attention to my breathing because it symbolizes life. Our breath is in a constant state of change in our body as we inhale and exhale, exactly like everything in life that changes every day. This helps me notice and make decisions.#WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
a4) I started with reading some books on Stoicism. Books by @RyanHoliday – esp @TheDailyStoic – great place to start. Adding intentionality to the task at hand is also good practice. It helps w/ADHD and stress mgmt. So easy to get caught up in today’s events. #WinnieSun
— Amy Hampton 📚📚📚 (@lonedaisymedia) August 12, 2020
A4e – I enjoy practicing #mindfulness while I eat, between coaching sessions, doing the dishes, and I sometimes combine affirmations. These are precious “reset” moments in my busy daily life. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A4
— Zala Bricelj – 🇸🇮 😊 #edutech is my jam (@ZalkaB) August 12, 2020
👉 Breathe (focus on your breathing throughout the day)
👉 Sit/walk in the nature and listen to the sounds
👉 Focus when sth triggers you / or sth stirs your emotions and what happens
👉 Keep a journal
👉 Write 5 things / day that you’re grateful for#WinnieSun https://t.co/ByzNTwcf3v
A4. Start off easy. When you are out in public, pay attention to your surroundings. See what are people doing at that moment. Are they eating, talking to someone, observing something from a distance. Awareness is the key to being mindful. #WinnieSun
— Anthony Giannone (@lg217) August 12, 2020
A4C. They should also cut off people who drain their energy #winniesun
— Cheval John, Social Media Professional (@chevd80) August 12, 2020
🙌Cheval, agree with you 10, 100, 1000, 1MM% on this!
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
✅One of the best things I’ve learned to do this last decade is to step away from “negatomes” aka people who bring you down.
🌈No one needs this. No one has time for that. And, you deserve better always.#WinnieSun☀️ pic.twitter.com/sVPQFh4x2Z
A4. For me, I would talk to them how they feel 1st, then we can do safe mindful practices that’s easier. Next, I can exercise with them slowly and gentle. And of course, READ fun books for the good! ^^ #TweetChat #WinnieSun
— Carlos Escamilla (@ArtistCarlosE) August 12, 2020
A4 One of the positive things that happened as a result of Covid-19 is that we had to quickly switch how our lives work. We all slowed down. We focused on family and small moments. So, the first step is to build on this. Be aware of what things bring you joy now. #winniesun
— Suzanne Brown/speaker & author (@mompowerment) August 12, 2020
A4:
— Bloomers Marketing (@SuzanneStewart1) August 12, 2020
*Box Breathing meditation – in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, repeat. Really forces you to pay attention to your breath.
*Get back to nature. – walk or sit, watch, listen, enjoy.
*Gratitude journal – 3 things daily that bring you joy or peace#WinnieSun
Q5. Everyone is so busy, I mean, how does anyone even find the time? No one person has more time than another. How do you find the time to make the time for mindfulness? What time hacks work best for you? #WinnieSun pic.twitter.com/iyi2B7b3Rc
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A5.1 Sometimes people are already engaging in activities that help them connect with themselves and others. Maybe they already go for walks, spend time in nature, play music, journal, or dance. How can you infuse these activities you already do with mindful awareness? #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A5.2Maybe it’s incorporating a bit of mindful walking into your exercise routine before a run. Maybe it’s bringing attention to the body and breath for 2 minutes with your kids before reading a bedtime story. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A5. When it comes to mindfulness – I think you have to make the time. I understand and can appreciate being busy, but you can’t just work nonstop and be ok. We’re not robots. #WinnieSun☀️
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A5a.1 Everyone’s practice looks different and changes over time. The best time hack can be simply letting go of needing your practice to look a certain way. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A5a.2 Of course it is wonderful when we might have 10+ minutes for a fuller formal practice. Often, just a few minutes sprinkled through the day can be enough for now. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A5: Incorporate “me time” into your schedule. This way, you have to find time for yourself. Even if it’s just a half hour a day, put it in your daily schedule. #WinnieSun
— Navicore Solutions (@navicorePR) August 12, 2020
A5a.3 The more often you dive in, the more comfortable you get with practicing. The more you feel its value, the more you will find the time to fit it in. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A5 – Mindfulness actually helps you organize your time better! During mindful breaks, you check in with yourself, slow down, become more focused, improve clarity and creativity, get the energy you need to make better choices, and achieve success. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A5 This is a shocker … for me is time. I am a morning person so I prefer to be awake by 4 AM or 4:30 AM … this is my free time and my space just for me. #WinnieSun
— Hadel S. Ma’ayeh (@Hadel) August 12, 2020
A5a – Mindfulness can just take a few minutes, you don’t have to dedicate too long. And it’s not only meditation. It can be practiced while doing other things, like taking a shower or walking to a meeting. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A5a. We need mindfulness to keep us grounded, happy, and growing. I do think mindful people will in turn be more successful. #WinnieSun☀️
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A5b – Mindfulness meditation with affirmations is my go-to practice to get rid of limiting beliefs. I also love to do body scan meditations in the night to relax my entire body and my brain, ready for a good night’s sleep! #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
time is interesting. it’s about prioritizing time. I do my meditation practice every morning before I get out of bed. first thing, before I can get distracted by anything. it makes me more efficient and I use the rest of my day intentionally #WinnieSun
— Founder of the #PRrevolution ∞ ❤️🍷 (@Gigi_Peterkin) August 12, 2020
a5) Choose to make the practice a priority. Priorities get done – although you may have to experiment to see what works best. TONS of resources out there to give you ideas on how to add them to your day. #WinnieSun
— Amy Hampton 📚📚📚 (@lonedaisymedia) August 12, 2020
A5. I wouldn’t say that I am a calendar time blocking freak, but definitely time blocking self care time is important. Put it on your electronic calendar as an event to remind yourself to do it.#WinnieSun https://t.co/XyD8KuSBGx
— Jim Fuhs #PodFestGlobalSummit (@FuhsionMktg) August 12, 2020
A5. Taking time can be just a few seconds, or a few minutes. The key is to trigger the change. I use Reminders in Google. #WinnieSun

A5: I start my day with meditation and journaling. I’m a super early riser (330 on the daily) which allows me to set the aligned tempo for the day and all that comes before tackling any other tasks. #winniesun
— Christina Ann (@Steena_2point0) August 12, 2020
A5. When you are not working or enjoying a meal or relaxing. Then be mindful. For example, when I am out walking, I practice being mindful. Weather it is walking home from work or looking at a window or walking in the great streets of Manhattan. #WinnieSun
— Anthony Giannone (@lg217) August 12, 2020
A5a Some of the thing that help me with #mindfulness:

*Starting my day with a #selfcare check-in to see how I’m feeling and make adjustments that set me up for success
*Meditating for a few minutes to feel more grounded
*Taking deep breaths when I feel anxious#winniesun
A5b And don't discount going outside. Being out in nature can help you so much when it comes to being aware. And you feel recharged. It's a great way to reset. #winniesun #gooutside pic.twitter.com/H6JTMZXykB
— Suzanne Brown/speaker & author (@mompowerment) August 12, 2020
A5: 10 to 15 minutes of meditation and 10 minute yoga session in the morning. 10 to 15 minutes in the middle of the afternoon. And then some more yoga, journaling and another 10 to 15 minutes meditating at night before bed. #dailyhabits #WinnieSun
— Bloomers Marketing (@SuzanneStewart1) August 12, 2020
A5 Do what works for you when it comes to mindfulness. I don't have the patience or focus to meditate for an hour. I can for a few minutes, though. I can be outside for hours or almost a whole day. Journaling before bed helps me as well. Do what works for you.#winniesun pic.twitter.com/mdCzgngYfs

— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
Fact. #WinnieSun #Tweetchat #WednesdayWisdom pic.twitter.com/Y4BfMOesQN
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A6. Yes, mindfulness is critical and very good for business. When you’re working at a very high speed, you need to be very clear and have understanding of what you need in order to be successful. #WinnieSun☀️
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A6.1 Mindful practices connect us with our natural capacities for discernment, creativity, caring, generosity, courage, and strength within awareness. I can’t imagine those being “bad” for business. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A6.2 At the same time, these practices aren’t only about professional success or productivity. Mindfulness is an enduring tradition that honors our interconnectedness. It promotes compassionate, wise action to support wellness and reduce suffering in our communities. #WinnieSun

A6a.1 Practicing mindfulness has allowed me to listen carefully to the wisdom inside and around me. This has helped me recognize and manage times I have headed towards burnout. It has helped me draw important boundaries in my career. #WinnieSun

A6a – I practice #mindfulness for myself and my business success daily, and I incorporate it in my coaching practice as well. My clients benefit from it while they learn more about themselves and adopt healthier lifestyle choices. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A6 A great question and simply, YES! It keeps you focused on the work and no negative thoughts of “I can’t do this” but rather, “I will try this” or “I know this” or “I will learn this” attitude. Helps you to resolve issues and staying calm. #WinnieSun

a6) Absolutely. Who wouldn’t want a brand or rep that’s calm, rational, and clear-headed over one who’s wild, angry and overly-emotional? It’s not a cold lack of passion, but a purposeful intention to solve your problem. #WinnieSun

A6. When I play poker, I’m being mindful on how others are playing and take advantage of their weak play. You learn that from being mindful. In sports betting, when I watch the games and I see a serious injury take place. The next day, I will bet against that team. #WinnieSun

Q7. Technology for the assist! What tools help you be more mindful? What apps / technology do you use to enhance / enable your mindfulness? #WinnieSun pic.twitter.com/bleHJnzAVx
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A7.1 We don’t need much to spark mindfulness. Traditionally, indigenous cultures used nature and the elements as inspiration. The sounds of flowing water… #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A7. For my mindfulness practice it’s very simple. It can be lying on a yoga mat and just resting for a few minutes, or turning on music, or just walking around in the yard. For me, this process is very much low-tech. #WinnieSun☀️
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A7.2 … the sight of a small flame, the smell of fresh flowers – any of these could be used as a point of focus for a meditation practice. I guess those are some of the simplest “technologies” #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A7a. In terms of apps, I have loved the Insight Meditation App. Another wonderful app I have been coming back to is the Liberate App which is specifically for the BIPoC community. #WinnieSun

a7) Tech is as helpful as it is harmful to mindfulness. Need to be strategic. Streaming music – I prefer no lyrics. Alarms to keep you on track. Software that blocks distractions or keeps notes/tasks handy. Build the system to encourage good focus and deep work. #WinnieSun
— Amy Hampton 📚📚📚 (@lonedaisymedia) August 12, 2020
The only thing I use is screen timer (to monitor my screen time), other than that, I have a playlist of calming music and mindful meditation breathing exercises. And taking photos is my relaxation 🙏 #WinnieSun

A7. Tools I use for mindfulness – routines (morning mindfulness routine to set my day, evening wind-down routine) and my iPhone alarm during the day to remind me to take breaks, take time to prepare (mindfully) for an upcoming meeting.

Sorry I'm late to the chat, btw.#WinnieSun
A7B. I think people should meditate or listen to inspiring videos before going to sleep whether if you had a bad or a good day because it feeds your subconscious while you are resting #winniesun

a8) I'm a huge fan of Stoic lit right now. Purposeful focus on things that matter. There are lists all over. Most books avail at the library. I read @TheDailyStoic each day and usually spend 30-45min reading for personal dev. It's like my work warmup. #WInnieSun

A9. If you haven’t already, connect with a community of practitioners and a teacher. A community, even if it’s a circle of family and/or friends, helps to support you and keep you accountable to your practice. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A9a. So many of my best company ideas and philosophies stemmed from experiencing travel, different places, meeting new people, and learning and adopting what we learned or just had clarity of thought and a great idea popped up. #WinnieSun☀️
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
a9) Just like exercise – add more weight. Longer meditation times. Deeper reading. Daily practice.
— Amy Hampton 📚📚📚 (@lonedaisymedia) August 12, 2020
And like exercise – you may plateau and need to change things up a bit. But the more you practice, the better you get so it seems to even out. #WInnieSun
A9 – There are different ways to bring #mindfulness to the next level in your daily life: meditation, yoga, body scan, mindful eating, and even participate in retreats.#WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance

A9 Finishing my current goals and moving on to the next steps. Goals that are not "Things" in life, but health, joy, family and achieving what you want that grants you peace. #WinnieSun
— Hadel S. Ma'ayeh (@Hadel) August 12, 2020
A9b.1 Don’t make mindfulness another nagging activity on your list. Allow yourself to let it nourish you. Mindful practice is about paying attention with intention. It is also about inviting attitudes that support you. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A9a – Body scan practice and mindful eating practice are favorites of mine (my clients love them!), and I regularly offer workshops online. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A9b.2 Attitudes you invite into your practice are just as important and include: patience, openness, kind interest, playful curiosity, trust, and self-compassion just to name a few. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A9: Intermediate – find as many ways to practice mindfulness as you can – cooking, art, cleaning, working, working out – "being" in everything you do, every day.
— Bloomers Marketing (@SuzanneStewart1) August 12, 2020
Expert – move from conscious mindfulness – thinking about being mindful – to just BEING mindful. #WinnieSun

Q10. With the worlds of work and home blending more now than ever, how can you use mindful practices to soothe and benefit your work from family / home life? How does mindfulness allow you to better care for yourself and others? #WinnieSun pic.twitter.com/YHU3vRPdwM

A10. With work and home blended, it’s more than ever to practice mindfulness. #WinnieSun☀️
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A10: Keep things separate when working from home. Make a workspace that's for work only and make sure to not do work anywhere else. #WinnieSun
— Navicore Solutions (@navicorePR) August 12, 2020
A10a. The days are nights blending together and we need to proactively separate the two, keep to a structure, make time for ourselves and our mindfulness for our own sanity, our team’s strength, and our family’s well being. #WinnieSun☀️
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A10.1 Sprinkle in short practices throughout the day, including a mix of stillness, movement, and connection with others or with nature. Use natural transitions in the day to be a reminder for a micro-practice. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A10a: It'll be almost impossible to practice mindfulness and get work done if you're spaces overlap with one another. #WinnieSun
— Navicore Solutions (@navicorePR) August 12, 2020
A10. Excellent question. To be mindful is to be the real you, and therefore the best gift you could give yourself or your family, (or clients).#WinnieSun
— Mark Barrus 🌎 (@MarkBarrusHypno) August 12, 2020
A10.2 Maybe that looks like a breath awareness meditation as your computer starts up in the morning. It could be doing a brisk 10min walk (with your mask on) before lunch. #WinnieSun

A10: Put self-care first. When I take care of my health and well-being, I'm able to be much more available to my employers, clients in so many ways.#WinnieSun
— Darcy De Leon (still staying 🏠) Blog Editor 😷 (@darcydeleon) August 12, 2020
A10a.1 Being in close relationship with our awareness allows us to see and include the many interrelated aspects of ourselves – from breath and body, to thoughts and emotions, to sensations of life, energy, and spirit. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A10 – Make sure you incorporate mindful breaks into your morning & evening routines (before & after work). You come first in life, and you should take care of yourself before everything and everyone else – this includes work and clients. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance #Mindfulness
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
a10) Create a work space that's as distraction-free as you can get. Time-blocking, schedules, routines are good. Reduce decision-making on small things to concentrate on large impt things. Again,, with practice this gets clearer and easier in your own place. #WinnieSun
— Amy Hampton 📚📚📚 (@lonedaisymedia) August 12, 2020
A10a – Take 5-, 10-, 15-minute breaks during your day (especially while working) and treat them as “reset” buttons. Breathe, smile, walk, rest to recharge your body & mind. You’ll go back to your tasks and projects refreshed and full of energy!#WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A10 For me personally, I must be organized in business and personal life. I have a book of plans that I follow so it is consistent each day; this aids me to spend time for fun, social media, family, pets, or myself. #WinnieSun
— Hadel S. Ma'ayeh (@Hadel) August 12, 2020
A10b – Doing a digital detox can also be considered a mindful practice. That way, you can spend more quality time and be fully present with your loved ones and friends, playing with your kids or pets, or just dedicating time to yourself. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance #Mindfulness
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A10a.2 This intimacy with our own experience allows us to sense our interrelatedness with others. When we can be with each other in this way and listen closely, that presence itself is a way of caring. We can hear our needs and tend to our collective wellness together. #WinnieSun

— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A11: Even if it's not meditation, just going into a room and closing the door can help you practice mindfulness. Just sit there and close your eyes for a few minutes. #WinnieSun
— Navicore Solutions (@navicorePR) August 12, 2020
A11.1 This is what I find to be so refreshing – Any activity can be an opportunity to engage with mindfulness. How can we integrate the same connection to awareness that we experience in meditation into our everyday life? #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
a11) As mentioned before – my favorite is "Give things their due and nothing more." Being able to dissect a problem, create solutions and execute is so much easier when the drama is removed. Reducing or even removing drama makes everything better. #WInnieSun
— Amy Hampton 📚📚📚 (@lonedaisymedia) August 12, 2020
A11.2One of the easiest places to start is to explore a connection to awareness through movement, like walking. Repetitive movements in knitting, painting, gardening, or playing music can be moving meditations too. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A11a. My journey started at a young age. My South Indian family integrated mindful, yogic practices like mantra and breath awareness from our Hindu traditions. This and my experiences sharing with my own kids inspired my recent children’s book, #FindingOm. #WinnieSun

— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
A12. My routines are getting up earlier, taking some time for myself – whatever that may be – before the crazy begins. And at the end of the day, I try to do that again – without tech, without distractions, just relax, and let my mind wander where it wants to. #WinnieSun☀️

A12.3 My evening routine includes connection with my family. My children are still young, and part of our bedtime routine is a mantra and loving-kindness meditation practice to honor ourselves, our ancestors, teachers, friends, and family. #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
a12) Routines are the best for me. I have a set ritual to beginning and ending work. Gets me mind in the right frame to concentrate on the thing in front of me. Morning/Eve routines do the same thing. Diff people will need diff things. Practice helps. #WInnieSun

A13. I think we are much better communicators and friends when we take the time to truly have self-awareness. And, we continue to self-reflect, self-examine, and mindfully practice getting to know ourselves and helping us grow to be the best versions of ourselves. #WinnieSun☀️

A13: Being mindful of yourself can help your relationships. You'll be able to communicate with the people around you better and comprehend what they're saying. #WinnieSun

a13) Takes out the DRAMA. Drama adds unneeded emotion to a situation – clouds the issue. Real comm depends on clarity and trust. Mindfulness helps keep the focus on the problem to get to the best solution. #WInnieSun

A13. Being mindful can create the awareness to put yourself in the other person's shoes and help have more of a conversation than a confrontation.

It has definitely helped my personal and professional relationships.#WinnieSun https://t.co/GbQx6crPDP
A13. In my own relationship with my partner – we have been together for 25 years – and mindfulness has incredibly deepened our capacity to be with each other in moments of suffering and uncertainty in ways that allow for forgiveness, healing, and transformation. #WinnieSun

A13 – As #mindfulness helps us be more present & attentive (we connect more w/ our partner or loved ones), it’s no surprise that it allows us to control emotions (less arguing) and it makes us more empathic (we understand their perspectives).#WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance

A13a – One way that really helped me improve relationships was related to communication. I used to react to words or actions more impulsively, but now I take time to choose my words carefully while using my calm tone to lower tension. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance #Mindfulness

A13 Yes, by being mindful, you are able to communicate with empathy and most of all, to listen well. #WinnieSun

A13a. One of my teachers shares the practice of Insight Dialogue where you practice exploring difficult discussions after a period of silent meditation together. Formally practicing mindful listening is powerful. #WinnieSun

A13b. When I can be present and pay attention with patience and trust, the interaction with another person becomes less about winning an argument, and more about listening and understanding each other more fully. #WinnieSun

Q14. Give us a quick tip! Falling into burnout and old stressed out patterns is a slippery slope. What is something you can do in just a quick minute or two, that you can do anywhere to help you realign your mindset? #WinnieSun pic.twitter.com/ihtJNdRlRD

A14. A tip would be just to get away and do something low tech that you enjoy. It could be as simple as taking a walk, driving around (ok maybe a little tech), lying on a yoga mat and thinking of nothing, or just spending time with people that fill your soul. #WinnieSun☀️
— #WinnieSun ® ☀️ (@winniesun) August 12, 2020
It's about respecting our basic needs as human beings 🙂 #WinnieSun

A14 – First tip: Use your breathing as an anchor. Whenever you feel something is off, stop what you’re doing and take some full inhalations and exhalations (with longer exhalations as this will automatically relax your nervous system). #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance #Mindfulness
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A14a – Second tip: Focus on one thing at a time even if you’re tempted to multitask. Our brain simply can’t engage in more than one activity, you’re actually switching from one task to another, using up a lot of energy. #WinnieSun #LifeWorkBalance
— Sabrina Cadini, CHLC, CBFC – Your Life Upgrader (@SabrinaCadini) August 12, 2020
A14a. Whatever it be, let it be, reduce stress, rid yourself of negative thoughts, and be at peace. #WinnieSun☀️

a14) Recognizing that you're in a spiral is probably the best thing. Too often people don't recognize the signs and get sucked into a bad train of thought or mood. The faster you notice, the sooner you can start to change directions. #WinnieSun

A14.1 We all have positive resources within ourselves we may not have cultivated a relationship with yet that can be soothing. It might be finding comfort in the breath, in an inspiring word, or simply placing a hand on the heart or lower belly… #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A14.2 …Or maybe it’s a combination of all of the above! I know I love placing a hand just beneath my navel. I focus on the breath, feeling my lower abdomen move with my hand. With an inbreath I quietly whisper “Here,” in my mind. With a slow outbreath, “I am peace.” #WinnieSun
— Yoga Medicine (@yoga_medicine) August 12, 2020
A14 Attitude, see the blessings around you, find what is good in a negative day and most of all stay away from negative people and things. Center yourself around positive people and places as much as possible. #WinnieSun
