For episode ten, I’m introducing ZenTen—the ten mindful mantras I created years ago during my pre-dawn workouts with my dog Buttercup.

From focusing on “What’s On Now” to choosing joy, being yourself, and learning through life’s struggles, these are simple reminders you can bring into your everyday life.

Listen and see which one speaks to you. You don’t need to memorize all ten—just start with the one you need today.

Stop waiting. Start choosing. That’s Zenatude.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where no matter how many times you explain something, your message just isn’t being understood?

In this episode of Zenatude Now, I share a recent everyday misunderstanding that reminded me how quickly communication can go sideways when two people think they understand each other—but don’t.

We all communicate differently. Sometimes we get frustrated, shut down, walk away, or keep repeating ourselves hoping the other person will finally understand. And sometimes, we’re the ones doing the misunderstanding.

Before reacting or giving up, maybe all it takes is a pause, a question, or simply finding a different way to say what you mean.

Sometimes one small pause can change the entire conversation.

Stop waiting. Start choosing. That’s Zenatude.

Have a Zenatudinal Day!

How often do we hold back because we’re worried about what someone else might think?

In this episode of Zenatude Now, I talk about what it really means to be free to be yourself — whether that means speaking up, wearing the quirky outfit, singing in your car, or even decorating your golf cart. 😂

Being authentic doesn’t mean you stop caring about others. It means you stop changing who you are just to fit someone else’s expectations.

Nobody is a better you than you.

Stop waiting. Start choosing. That’s Zenatude.
