Things I’m Enjoying: Fall Edition

Things I’m Enjoying: Fall Edition

In the midst of teaching in person during the pandemic I'm still finding time to reflect on what I am grateful for as well as enjoy some things. When I sit and write these seasonal posts I am reminded that things could be a lot worse than what my mind is constructing.

Fitness +...Apple just updated its Mindfulness app recently. They've included both audio and video guided meditations. Currently I'm enjoying Resilience mediations led by JoAnna Hardy. JoAnna's voice is calming and has been very helpful to my overall mental health since I've started using her meditations.

Hex Coffee...We live very close to a Hex Coffeeshop. Since the weather has started to turn cooler, making for amazing walks…we've been visiting this little coffeeshop to get our second cup of coffee on Sunday mornings.

Negativity Bias...My wife shared this cartoon with me a few weeks ago...it's had a big impact on me and I find myself coming back to it on a regular basis as well as share it with people I know. Here's a link that takes you to a blog post about it. It's worth the read and look.
