Ep87 - Amy Sandler - a podcast by The Community Cats Podcast

In this “out of the box” interview, Stacy speaks with Amy Sandler about how mindfulness and meditation can help decrease the stress and manage the challenges often faced by those in the animal welfare field. Research has shown that mindfulness can increase our focus, resilience, creativity, and performance. It’s important, Amy notes, that we have compassion for ourselves, or what she calls, “filing up the well.”  She walks Stacy through a simple meditative breathing exercise, and talks about the importance to taking a few breaths and setting an “intention” before addressing a specific situation or challenge. "47% of time, our mind is wandering..that’s just what the mind does.”
