Kakeibo: The Art of Financial Mindfulness

By Gina Messina, Ph.D. About a year ago, a friend introduced me to Kakeibo, the Japanese art of budgeting and applying mindfulness to our spending, and I’ve been obsessed ever since.

7 Ways to Stay Present in the Moment

When people talk about staying present or living in the moment they are often talking about mindfulness. But what does that mean?
