"Mindfulness helps us embrace change through accepting its inevitability while also actively pushing back where we can. Aging is here, and happening in every moment. This life experience accumulates whether we want it to or not. How we use it is up to us."

When we aim for vibrant health and well-being, the changes associated with aging are a lot easier to navigate. We might even enjoy them.

When we’re wrestling with experiences that challenge our identities or our confidence—like failures at work, relationship struggles, or letting go of old belief systems—it can be tempting to reach for positive self-talk that pushes back against the difficult feelings we might be having.

In today’s guided practice, Caverly Morgan offers something much sturdier, what she calls unconditional reassurances.

This practice anchors into a deep-down sense of worthiness and compassion that’s always present, regardless of how well things are going for us or how great we feel about ourselves in any given moment.

In this guided meditation, Caverly Morgan invites us to move beyond “positive thinking” in difficult moments and instead tap into a deep well of unconditional love for ourselves

How is it that, despite endless communication at our fingertips, so many of us still feel profoundly alone?

Perhaps it’s because loneliness isn’t just the absence of people—it’s the absence of the kind of true connection that makes us feel seen, heard, and understood.

In this new featured article for National Craft Month, Anna Griffin explores how engaging in creative activities with others can help forge new bonds and alleviate our sense of loneliness and isolation.

When connecting with others feels difficult, making crafts can offer a universal language that welcomes everyone and forges new bonds while exploring our creative side.
