Fit Because hosts Jenn "JZ" Zerling and George Veater talk with Kelley Kitley, LCSW about Mindfulness, the basic human ability to be fully present, not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. See actionable bullet points for improving your mindfulness below: 1) Remember spirituality does not have to be religion. Where do you feel connected? Start there. 2) Practice being in the moment, pay attention to the sounds, smells, feelings of a particular moment. 3) Take a 2-minute timeout when you are feeling overwhelmed and focus on slowing your breathing, calming your body and mind. 4) Write down 3-5 things you are grateful for every morning​ ​and reread them before bed. Share your progress with us on social @FitBecauseShow or via email fitbecauseshow@gmail.com.
