Some thoughts from a newbie web designer...

As I'm sitting here at my computer, I'm noticing quite a bit of tension in my belly and chest, and a fair amount of negative self-talk about my abilities to design a website. In other words, this process has been quite anxiety provoking! I'm not exactly a tech whiz, nor young enough to have that native, intuitive ability that the younger generations seem to have.

Luckily, there's a small but beautiful pond outside my window, and right now the leaves are changing color here in New England. (In case you were wondering why I chose "Pondside" as my business name, here's your answer!) A quick glance outside helps me ground myself, come back to my senses, and tune in to my physical sensations and thoughts and emotions.

I am hoping to use this blog page not so much to share my musings - that's just all I have time for right now - but to share news about MBSR. There is so much research going on, and I was, and still am, drawn to MBSR precisely because it is backed up by several decades of solid research. (You can find a few links on the "MBSR" page.) So please check back for more every now and then!
