Sasha will be joined by Guest Meditator: splitboarder, Caitlin Yong. @sk8powder is the founder of @backcountrytogether and a Mountain Mind Project Athlete on our Athlete Team. As a Splitboarder, former Professional Downhill Longboarder, and Transportation Engineer, she is working towards becoming an AIARE Instructor. Initially community building in the downhill longboarding scene, Caitlin now runs Backcountry Together to lower the barrier to entry for backcountry skiing and splitboarding for individuals who identify as black, indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) by creating inclusive and safe spaces to introduce backcountry skiing and splitboarding. You can find Caitlin splitboarding before work or on the weekends – or at the sauna or a sushi buffet. She is all about having a balanced life. We are so excited to have Caitlin join us in an Instagram Live Guided Meditation tomorrow.

“Clarity is created through the process and with clear goals, fresh insight and an embodied connection to oneself.” - Colin Boyd @colinboyd__ describes what it’s like to join him on a Flow Immersion for Men. In his words “men who have gone through this immersion often leave and take bold steps that drastically transform their lives”. Learn more about Colin’s coaching process by listening to the conversation we had with him as a Guest Trainer on our IGTV “LIVE Guided Meditation” Series. . . . #resiliencecoaching #community #mentaltoughness

As high performers and achievement-oriented, successful people we often forget about the need for rest. Conversely, when we are feeling stuck, movement can help shake up new thoughts of creativity and insight. Listen to your body, and see what it needs at this moment. How do you find the balance between rest and movement? • • • • #mountainmindproject #resilience #mindfulness #performance #wellbeing #health #flow #leadership #actionsports #healing #community #connection #naturetherapy #nature #mindRX #outdoors #wilderness #flowstate #peakperformance #mountainathlete

"...Meditation is a practice of resilience. We say the healing is in the return, not in never having wandered to begin with." -Sharon Salzberg // Do you tell a story about yourself when your mind wanders in meditation? // Perhaps that you’re a good meditator/or not… that this one was a good meditation/or not. // Bringing goal setting to meditation can be counterproductive. // The wandering nature of our attention is a result of the default mode network in our brain ie. our minds wander about 50% of the time as their normal default. // Mindfulness meditation asks us to change how we think about and treat ourselves, when we notice our attention wandering away from an anchor like the breath. // That then shifts our relationship of how we react and treat ourselves when other things in life happen that are out of our control. // The point of mindfulness is not to stop thoughts, it’s to change your relationship to thinking and everything else. . . . #mountainmindproject #resilience #mindfulness #meditation

"Wilderness, in contrast with those areas where man and his own works dominate the landscape, is...an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." -Wilderness Act of 1964 Today and everyday, we celebrate public lands and the role they play in supporting our communities, locally and globally. We continuously reflect on the concept of wilderness, ideas of being a human visitor or a guest, and being a human intrinsically connected to, dependent on, and caring for the natural world. What are you discovering in your reflections about the natural world and you? • • • • #mountainmindproject #resilience #mindfulness #performance #wellbeing #health #flow #leadership #actionsports #healing #community #connection #naturetherapy #nature #mindRX #outdoors #wilderness #flowstate #peakperformance #mountainathlete

We invite you to a home mindfulness practice in acknowledging and appreciating the outdoor space around you. When we say “the outdoors” we literally mean the world outside your front door and windows. To us, “the living world” or “the natural world” means the splash of green houseplant, grass pushing through the crack in the sidewalk or feeling of a cold wind on your skin. We don’t tend to call the outdoors/living world “nature” because that feels like something separate and “out there”. How do you connect to the natural world, each day, right here? (Wherever in the world you are). • • • • #mountainmindproject #resilience #mindfulness #performance #wellbeing #health #flow #leadership #actionsports #healing #community #connection #naturetherapy #nature #mindRX #outdoors #wilderness #flowstate #peakperformance #mountainathlete

Consider our interconnectedness and how you sustain yourself as you care for others and our planet. A recent article in Psychology Today by Dekila Chungyalpa suggests five techniques to help you cope with your emotions and build inner resilience to alleviate eco-anxiety, (anxiety about harm to the environment caused by human activity and climate change). “People at the frontlines of environmental and climate issues, disaster-impacted populations, Indigenous peoples, younger generations, and environmental scientists and professionals are uniquely affected by environmental and climate issues' psychological and emotional impacts because they overwhelmingly bear the costs.” Along With this powerful statement, Chungyalpa shares grounding techniques which aim to cope with and address climate distress: •Acknowledge your emotions •Grow your awareness of others •Commit to community •Take action •Connect with nature Which technique best supports you today? • • • • #mountainmindproject #resilience #mindfulness #performance #wellbeing #health #flow #leadership #actionsports #healing #community #connection #naturetherapy #nature #mindRX #outdoors #wilderness #flowstate #peakperformance #mountainathlete
