A Mindful Week #9
Your weekly dose of mindfulness, creativity & insight. Curated by the Art of Meditation Team.
Your weekly dose of mindfulness, creativity & insight. Website / Blog / Club
01 Creativity
What is the link between exercise and creativity? The New York Times sums it up for us.
02 Books
“Machines are designed to run constantly; people aren’t.” Moving beyond meditation apps, weekend breaks and annual holidays we are in need of a more sustainable approach — a reset that rethinks how we can be more human. We enjoy the book DO:Pause and its reasoning for a pause for wellbeing and sanity.
03 Film
Creative advances we celebrate: “The Mandalorian” was the first show to integrate “stagecraft” technology. This game changing technology might change the way we film in the future.
04 Mindfulness
With the pandemic changing how we learn, interact and work new solutions are needed. The Post-Gazette explores how some American Schools are using mindfulness to solve modern problems and “storms of stress” among students.
05 Wellbeing
In our mission to help you to a be more optimistic world view we would like to share a list of desk stands from WIRED.
06 Quote
A new section in our weekly newsletter. Quotes that inspire and make us think.
