in keeping with February Food Month, today's Guest is Susie Miles, Host of the podcast Cooking and Convos. For more than twenty years, Susie held positions at The Discovery Channel, National Geographic and a few television production companies in between. She served in many different roles in her career and while she mostly enjoyed the journey, she began to feel a rumbling inside her soul, whispering 'there has to be more to life than this. More than rushing around nonstop, sitting in hours of traffic each day and in long meetings, looking out the window, wanting to be somewhere else.' Then the pandemic hit... it took an unfortunate and catastrophic event to tell her that she needed the pivot. Now she brings healthy meals to her listeners and tips for making it all so simple. A few takeaways from our mindful conversation that filled our minds:1. Clean the kitchen everyday! After you make something , clean it up. It settles your Spirit and gives you a sense of accomplishment.2. Go through and organize your cabinets. You can do this one cabinet and one day at time. It doesn't have to be a big deal. For example, start with your spices. Go through, clean em out and add what you now need to your grocery list and viola' - you are done! Move on to another one another day! 3. Clean out your fridge, physically (wash it down) and use what is in there for a meal that night! Sautee' up old spinach with lemon and garlic, etc. In our conversation, Susie mentions her recipe for one of her favorite meals, Korean-Style Meatblass. You can find her recipe here: Recipe.She also mentions a few books that she likes:1. Bread Toast Crumbs by Alexandra Stafford2. One Pan Perfect by Donna HaysClick below to easily buy them!

About Kelly Winkler: Kelly is a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and a 95-hour Registered Children's Yoga Teacher. She is a mother of four children and has extensive experience working with children, which has led her to become a children's yoga and mindfulness instructor and trainer, as well as a member of the team at Kidding Around Yoga, a company whose mission is to educate people on how to share the practices of yoga, mindfulness, and meditation with children.Kelly also co-created Mindful Conversations with KAY, a podcast for parents, teachers, counselors, or anyone who works with children that discusses using research-based tools and strategies to help increase mindfulness, self-awareness, connection, self-regulation, and peace in your home or classroom. In this episode Adam and Kelly discuss:Kelly's daughter's struggle with anxietyHow the world is right now affecting our kids' developmentMaking yoga and meditation accessible to childrenA look at Kelly's mindfulness class for kidsKids, too, crave a sense of calm. Key Takeaways: It can be difficult to figure out your child's thoughts if he or she has anxiety, but by practicing meditation, she can redirect her thoughts and move through this difficult time.With the advent of technology and with the outbreak of COVID-19, more and more kids are experiencing anxiety and struggling to connect with their peers and their families -- this is why education really needs to be at the foundation. To help children regulate their emotions and nervous system, they need to take some time throughout the day to practice meditation and mindfulness practices.Keeping yoga and meditation accessible to children means making it fun for them. If they enjoy the practice, they're more likely to stick with it and practice it throughout their lives, and they'll feel as if it's just a part of their toolbox.Children need to learn the reason why they meditate in order to be self-aware and sort of explore what's going on in their body and how they can use these meditation practices to feel more comfortable in their bodies in order to feel more relaxed, or more peaceful, or more focused, or whatever it is they are striving for.Provide kids with opportunities to release their energy in a safe and healthy way, and then show them how to find stillness in their bodies, harness that energy, and breathe and meditate as part of mindfulness practice. “By doing some breathing practices and by showing your children that you can take some time for quiet and stillness, then we can share that calm with our children.” - Kelly Winkler Connect with Kelly Winkler: Website: https://kiddingaroundyoga.com/licensee/kelly/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindfulmomentsforfamilies/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelly.p.winklerEmail: kellywinkler@kiddingaroundyoga.com Connect with Adam J.

Physical Education classes (also known as PE or Gym) are the highlight of many children's days - the opportunity to physically move and take a mental break is understandably needed.

Compassion builds emotional resilience, a trait we want for our children and ourselves (and for the world, as a whole). But how do we encourage compassionate behaviors and mindsets?

It's true! A kids yoga class doesn't look or sound like an adult yoga class (and it shouldn't)! Straight from a question on our Mindful Conversations with KAY Facebook page, Kelly and Kristi explain why kids yoga classes may seem loud and unfocused. But there's a method to the madness and as Kelly says, "Sometimes we gotta get loud before we can get quiet".

In this episode of Mindful Conversations with KAY, Kristi and Kelly share the gratitude practices they use in their homes and classrooms to help children recognize all they have to be grateful for daily. As yoga teachers, classroom teachers, and moms, Kelly and Kristi feel particularly responsible for raising grateful children. Aparigraha is a Sanskrit term meaning “greedless-ness” or “gratitude”, and it is one of the basic teachings of yoga. This does not just mean simply saying “Thank you,” (although manners are very important). The real goal is to encourage and inspire genuine gratitude to the people and situations that allow us to be who we are and enjoy what we have. The conversation includes: *What is gratitude, really? *How gratitude practices are actually stress-management tools *The role of the Reticular Activating System in attention and focus *Modeling gratitude *Examples of weaving simple gratitude practices into your daily routine *Avoiding the pitfall of toxic positivity Links: https://kiddingaroundyoga.com/blog/kids-yoga-gratitude-thanks-aparigraha/ https://kiddingaroundyoga.com/blog/kids-yoga-ayurveda-gratitude-thanks/ https://kiddingaroundyoga.com/blog/kids-yoga-gratitude-thanks-aparigraha/ https://kiddingaroundyoga.com/blog/practice-daily-gratitude-with-the-family/ https://kiddingaroundyoga.com/blog/kids-yoga-smile-joy-gratitude/ Merch: https://store.kiddingaroundyoga.com/collections/music/products/orange-you-grateful

Welcome to Day Two of 21-Day Mindfulness Challenge. Please go back to Day One if you are just starting. **Please also see Mindfulness Meditation One (Full Body Scan). ** What to expect? Mindful Conversations Anytime you have a conversation with someone today, be mindful throughout the entire experience. Listen to everything being said without thinking how you are going to respond. Also, be mindful when you are talking. If anything said elicits a feeling, note it and be mindful of what thoughts prompted that feeling. Do not, however, allow this to take away from you being mindful during the conversation. Just note the experience and you can reflect on it after the conversation has finished. For example, if talking to a co-worker about your boss provokes feelings of anger, make a note of it and do your best to bring your awareness back to the present conversation instead of focusing on your thoughts. After the conversation, think about what exactly was said and the thoughts that came up that caused the anger. (Note: Tomorrow there will be more discussion and time to practice this technique). If others are having a conversation but you are not an active participant at the moment, listen without placing any judgments or thoughts on what you hear. Allow the words others are saying to enter and exit your awareness without holding on to any piece you heard. This podcast originally aired a few years ago, but still speaks to this crazy journey we call life!
