How tech can help reduce stress - WDIV-TV, Detroit

September 18, 2015

Dr. Rockwell is a mindfulness researcher: If you're having trouble sleeping, heart palpitations, or grinding your teeth, you're feeling stress. You must do something about it. Because stress is killing Americans through cardiovascular disease, hypertension, many deaths are caused by stress. And you don't need technology to bring your stress down. We can create "pause" in our day, when we first wake up in the morning, on our commutes, even in the bathroom. That is a great break, a natural pause in our day to return to our breaths, let thoughts go and be with our in-breath and then the slow out-breath, which trains the mind to let go and helps us to be less stressful.

Mindfulness in Everyday Life: A Few Things (I Think) I Know About Kids or What My Children Have Taught Me

I wrote down these parenting tips around 20 years ago, as little reminders to myself when my sons were quite young -- they are 28 and 25 years old now. Yet, these observations still feel as true to me today, as they did back then. I found them recently, on note paper neatly stacked in the corner of my nightstand drawer, and thought to share them with other parents, new and seasoned. May they help us mindfully embrace "the wonder years" in what we soon discover, is an all too fleeting time.
