Mindful Medicine

Practicing mindfulness can be especially helpful in times of stress. In our current health crisis, millions of people continue to be affected by COVID-19 in one way or another: Health concerns or worries, employment woes, social distancing rules making it challenging to connect with family and friends have all been familiar themes. Mindfulness is a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment. Being present and in the moment means we put aside any negative thoughts about the past or worries about the future—and just be. Joining Dr. Holly today is Dr. Mimi Secor, a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 41 years of experience specializing in Women’s Health.
