CreativeMktGroup Mindfulness

The CreativeMktGroup team recently attended Richmond’s well-known Mindful Mornings event. According to their website, "Mindful Mornings is a national organization whose mission it is to unite, teach, and inspire do-gooders along their journeys toward making the world a better place. For one hour on the first Friday of every month Mindful Mornings Chapter Founders across the country connect the people with the heart and souls to change the world, with the content and community they need to make it happen."

At the August event, our CreativeMktGroup shared in this experience together. We left feeling more connected to each other, the community and the world. We also agreed that as our company grows, so does the importance for acts of mindfulness. Here’s what each team member had to say about Mindful Mornings and more specifically, the importance of ‘mindfulness':

For Tara Meintel, our Account Manager / Creative Strategist, she says, "I love Mindful Mornings! It's such a great way to connect with likeminded people in the community but also to remind myself to slow down. We're all so busy all the time, Mindful Mornings is a perfect reminder to be present and to allow yourself the chance to care for yourself. I always learn something new and always leave feeling refreshed and inspired.”"Mindful Mornings is always a great way to start the day, especially if you can share it with your colleagues. Work can be stressful, but when you can all take a moment to come together and step away from any overwhelming feelings and simply breathe, something magical happens. Your brain resets and your thought pattern changes. You can come back to your work with fresh eyes and a feeling of calmness as you prepare to take on whatever may be thrown your way, in your professional life or in your personal life. That's why I practice mindfulness, not just as a part of Mindful Mornings, but as a part of my daily routine." For Isabelle Cabral, our Digital Marketing Manager, she says, "Mindful Mornings is always a great way to start the day, especially if you can share it with your colleagues. Work can be stressful, but when you can all take a moment to come together and step away from any overwhelming feelings and simply breathe, something magical happens. Your brain resets and your thought pattern changes.

That's why I practice mindfulness, not just as a part of Mindful Mornings, but as a part of my daily routine."

For Natalie Toalson McNamara, our Founder / Creative Strategist, she says, “We are so fortunate to have this type of event in our community. There are a variety of events that we are all accustomed to: networking, professional, industry specific, etc., but a special event to remind us to ‘stop and smell the roses’ is quite amazing. As a small business owner and a parent, it is essential that I maintain focus and mindfulness in everything I do everyday so that these important people in my life are taken care of appropriately."

We look forward to attending the next Mindful Mornings on September 7th!
