F! Feeling Bad, let’s practice mindful listening!

For Mindful Mondays, we are going to practice mindful listening as an observation practice, not for communication; however, mindful observation of the present moment in any form enhances your communication skills naturally. Every time you practice being present and observing what is instead of thinking about what you would like to be, you are creating new neural pathways, or strengthening existing ones, that will enhance your ability to remain present and intentional in all aspects of life.

How

You are going to focus on the sounds you hear around you.

Find a comfortable seated or lying position.

Take a few cleansing breaths and melt into your posture.

Begin a consistent flow of breath—I usually belly breath, but you can breath normally, too, if you prefer.

Scan the room, noticing each sound you hear.

Why

What I love about observational mindfulness practices is the mind-blowing number of things you notice through your senses that are typically ignored. Our brains take a few seconds to decide what is important and what is unnecessary based on our thoughts, mood, attitude, beliefs, and perceptions. Take the time to noice the whir of the air conditioner, the distant chatter of people walking down the street, and the tick of the clock. Observational mindfulness practices are important for strengthening your ability to experience the present moment as it is, not what you would like it to be or turn into.

As with mindful looking, mindful listening is an especially important skill for those healing from narcissistic abuse and toxic relationships. The foundational damage from gaslighting is lack of trust in what you perceive to be true. Since perception begins with the five senses, it makes sense to start rebuilding and healing with mindful observations of your senses—what you detect is truly in your environment at the present time. Taking time to be present and observe what IS reestablishes the confidence in your ability to know what is real. Mindful listening helps you shed the beliefs, desires, and manipulations that search for what isn’t there so you can be in the presence of what is.

How Peanut Butter Boosts Your Health

Many of us have grown up with peanut butter as a staple in our pantries. But few recognize the remarkable health benefits packed into every creamy or crunchy spoonful. As nutrition science progresses, peanut butter emerges not just as a delicious treat, but as a health-boosting superfood.

The Nutritional Breakdown of Peanut Butter:

First, let’s delve into the nutritional composition of peanut butter. A mere two-tablespoon serving offers:

8 grams of protein: Essential for muscle building and tissue repair.

16 grams of healthy fats: A mix of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that promote heart health.

3 grams of fiber: Critical for digestive health and satiety.

Vitamins and Minerals Galore

Peanut butter isn't just about macronutrients. It's a treasure trove of vital vitamins and minerals:

Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant, crucial for skin health.

Magnesium: Supports muscle function and bone health.

Potassium: Regulates fluid balance and controls electrical activity of the heart.

Phosphorus: Works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth.

Heart Health and Peanut Butter: A Dynamic Duo

Consuming peanut butter can be advantageous for your cardiovascular system. The monounsaturated fats in peanut butter are known to reduce bad cholesterol levels, thereby lowering the risk of heart diseases. Studies have consistently shown that regular consumption of nuts or nut butters is linked to a reduced risk of heart disease.

Peanut Butter and Weight Management:

While it's calorie-dense, peanut butter can play a role in weight management. The protein and fiber content help you feel full, reducing overall calorie intake. Furthermore, the healthy fats in peanut butter provide long-lasting energy, preventing mid-day energy slumps and overeating.

Blood Sugar Regulation with Every Spoonful:

Peanut butter has a low glycemic index. This means it releases sugar into the bloodstream slowly, preventing rapid spikes and crashes in blood sugar. Stable blood sugar levels can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and help those managing the condition.

Enhancing Brain Health:

The healthy fats in peanut butter are not only good for the heart but the brain as well. These fats, combined with other nutrients like antioxidants, can protect the brain from oxidative stress and support overall cognitive function.

Tips for Choosing the Right Peanut Butter

Not all peanut butters are created equal. When selecting, ensure you choose varieties that:

Have no added sugars.

Are free from hydrogenated oils.

Have no artificial additives.

Reading the ingredient list is crucial. Ideally, the list should be short, with peanuts being the primary (or only) ingredient.

How to Incorporate Peanut Butter into Your Diet

The versatility of peanut butter makes it easy to include in your meals:

Spread on whole grain toast.

Blend into smoothies.

Mix into oatmeal or yogurt.

Use as a dip for fruits and vegetables.

Incorporate into sauces and dressings.

The Power of Antioxidants in Peanut Butter:

It might come as a surprise to many, but peanut butter is a potent source of antioxidants. The key antioxidant is resveratrol. Commonly associated with grapes and red wine, resveratrol has garnered attention for its potential anti-aging, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Consuming foods rich in antioxidants, like peanut butter, can help counteract the harmful effects of oxidative stress in the body.

Benefits for Skin and Hair:

Peanut butter's rich nutrient profile can also play a pivotal role in maintaining skin and hair health. The healthy fats moisturize the skin from within, while vitamins like Vitamin E offer protection from harmful UV rays. On the other hand, proteins present in peanut butter are the building blocks for lustrous, strong hair. Applying peanut butter directly as a mask can provide deep conditioning, though remember to wash it out thoroughly!

Building and Repairing Muscles:

For fitness enthusiasts and athletes, peanut butter is an excellent dietary addition. The combination of protein and healthy fats aids muscle repair and growth post-exercise. It provides sustained energy, making it an ideal pre-workout snack, especially when paired with complex carbohydrates like whole grain bread.

Bone Health and Density:

Peanut butter is rich in essential minerals like calcium and phosphorus. These minerals play a vital role in maintaining bone density, particularly as we age. Regular consumption can contribute to stronger bones, reducing the risk of fractures and osteoporosis in the long run.

Mental Well-being and Mood Enhancement:

There's more to peanut butter than meets the eye. The presence of tryptophan, an amino acid, can boost serotonin production in the brain. Serotonin is often termed the 'feel-good' neurotransmitter. Elevated levels can uplift mood and combat symptoms of depression and anxiety. So, the next time you're feeling down, a spoonful of peanut butter might just be the pick-me-up you need.

The Role of Fiber in Digestive Health:

While it's not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of fiber-rich foods, peanut butter does contribute to your daily fiber intake. This fiber aids in smooth digestion and ensures regular bowel movements, preventing constipation and other digestive issues.

A Word of Caution:

While the health benefits of peanut butter are numerous, it's essential to consume it in moderation. Being calorie-dense, overconsumption can lead to excessive calorie intake. It's always best to pair it with a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Conclusion: Embrace the Creamy Goodness:

Peanut butter, when chosen wisely and consumed in moderation, can be a fantastic addition to a health-conscious diet. Its rich array of nutrients, combined with its potential to boost heart and brain health, make it more than just a sandwich spread. It's a superfood that deserves a prominent place in our kitchens and our hearts.

Hello there 👋

Welcome back to Mindful Mondays! 🧘

Mondays are, famously, most people’s seventh favorite day of the week. And Mondays where everything is darker, longer, and colder than normal? Thanks, but no thanks.

But don’t panic; we’ve got something to help. It might be small, but it can make a big difference. Just ten minutes of mindfulness can go a long way, and taking some time out to sit down, slow down, and breathe can help center your thoughts and balance your mood. Sometimes, the best things in life really are free.

This year, we have teamed up with the good folks at @nasa. They want you to tune in and space out to relaxing music and ultra-high-definition visuals of the cosmos—from the surface of Mars.

Sounds good, right? Well, it gets better. Watch more Space Out episodes on NASA+, a new no-cost, ad-free streaming service.

Why not give it a try? Just a few minutes this Monday morning can make all the difference, and we are bringing mindfulness straight to you.

🧘WATCH: Space Out with NASA: Martian Landscapes, 11/27 at 1pm EST🧘

Today is the first day of my new job & as I stepped into the elevator, I couldn't help but capture the excitement in a quick selfie. Everything feels so fresh and unfamiliar - a completely new environment with new faces of people I'll be working with. It's a mix of nerves and anticipation, wondering what experiences lie ahead. But despite the uncertainty, I can't help but laugh at the thought of all the new challenges, or as I playfully call them, "new shits." It's a reminder to embrace the unknown with humor and a positive attitude.
