I attended the Adoptive Parents’ Committee conference in Brooklyn yesterday, and heard several exciting presentations. It was fabulous to hear all the stories, from attendees and presenters, and get a sense of where parents are on their paths to adoption.

Today I answered a call from another professional about use of mindful breathing with anxiety. I was inspired to search around the internet and found this wonderful graphic of three directed mindfulness practices for three situations in which someone might struggle with anxiety. Yes, take 5 deep breaths is one of them. This is worth taking a look at often if anxiety is an issue for you.
