Jez,

Mindfulness has been the key in terms of me dealing with anxiety, it has really allowed me to develop a type of calm in my life that did not exist before I was introduced to the idea of it.

Is it "Cooler" to be jaded and criticize everything new agey instead of giving these techniques a chance?

A million yes' to this. People think that mindfulness is all new agey, but it isn't. I mostly sell it as "hey stop worrying about that thing 5 years from now and enjoy this damn coffee with your friends." Being present.

I agree with this whole thread. My former therapist taught me about mindfulness to help with issues I have related to food and self-esteem. I don't practice it as much as a should, but when I do use it, it helps immensely. Jon Kabat Zinn's books on mindfulness are very accessible.

Real mindfulness would be wonderfully beneficial to our whole world. Unfortunately I can not help but be a little jaded about the motivation behind this CEO/celebrity appropriation of mindfulness. It's my gut feeling that like so much of our pop culture, for them it will be used up and discarded the moment another new…

Thank you. I didn't realize this was "trendy" have been working on it for several years. A combination of therapy, meditation, mindfulness awareness, and Buddhist philosophy has changed my life, and this article seems to trivialize it. By the way, I am not by any means a woo-woo New Agey-type person. I just wanted to…

In the most respectful way possible...UGH. First of all, Zen and mindfulness are not the same thing. It is misguided to conflate the two. One is a form of Buddhism and the other is a quality of attention. The fact that mindfulness is becoming "trendy" could be a really great thing. But it's important to really…

Yes, natural aging and looking ones age is a indeed a huge disaster. He should fix that and make himself look artificially young, like the rest of Hollywood.

Even if it were true, what does anyone else's preference in the bedroom have to do with anything?

Listen I love snark as much as the next gal, but at some point you reach a limit.

This is one of my most favoritist gifs ever.

I can't find weight/reach comparisons, but here's my take on this as someone who has trained for years in a striking art: ehhhh.

Maybe if you spend all of your time proselytizing for your cause, as this woman seems to do, it makes it impossible to process the idea that everyone else isn't doing the same thing. The women in the Curvy Girl campaign weren't demanding that everyone who saw their pictures change their bodies to look just like them,…

I think what people are quarreling over, in part, is a semantic ambiguity. If we use "normal" to indicate statistical average then, yes, these women are "normal". Normal can also mean mentally and physically healthy. Although I think there's far more to discuss regarding the accuracy of BMI, etc., being very…

This is absolutely a big deal. As someone fortunate enough to have insurance, I will tell you that seeing a therapist regularly has CHANGED MY LIFE. It takes a lot of courage to make that first call, but I encourage you to do it. The hard work and discomfort are worth it. And now, with mandated coverage, it can…

As someone with OCD and panic disorder who pays $160/week to see my psychologist because it's not covered by insurance let me be the first to say FUCK YES.
