Too Many Tabs Open? Try One Thing at a Time

Have you ever looked at your computer and realized you have more tabs open than you thought?

That happened to me recently while I was setting up for an online yoga class. I usually have my Zoom screen open, but for some reason I hit a button and suddenly every tab that was open on my computer showed up on the screen.

And I was mortified.

There they were: all the tabs, all the reminders, all the things I had been moving between. But it also made me laugh, because it was such a clear picture of what my mind can feel like sometimes.

Busy. Full. Jumping from one thing to the next.

Just like a computer with too many tabs open.

Have you ever noticed how rushing from one thing to the next leaves you feeling scattered and tired? Sometimes, the best tool for finding your center isn’t doing more—it’s simply pausing. There is a quiet, gentle power in the pause. It’s a chance to catch your breath, check in with yourself, and invite calm into the mess of the day.

What does Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti mean?

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti is something we chant together at the end of every one of my classes. But what does Om Shanti mean? In this short video I created for my Mindful Monday series I offer my explanation for this chant.

Making Time for Self-Care Without Judging Yourself

Making Time for Self-Care Without Judging Yourself

Who was right? The student who missed class because something important had to be handled at home? Or the student who told her husband, "I need the car today," and found a way to get herself to class? It sounds like a riddle, but the answer is simple: they were both right.

This week, I want to use these two student stories as a reminder that self-care does not always look the same from one person to the next. Sometimes honoring yourself means showing up for gentle yoga class. Sometimes honoring yourself means recognizing that life truly got in the way and choosing not to beat yourself up for it.
