Aging in today's world is hard. From the inescapable thoughts of death to the grief of when you have "aged out" of a thing, it can be difficult to accept that fact that you're getting older. It makes it even scarier when you're constantly bombarded with the ever present themes of maintaining and chasing youth in media. So how do we combat this? By becoming mindful. For me becoming mindful is a personal state of awareness to what is happening currently in society and that is what I aim to do with Mindfulness Monday's — to talk about the things that might be triggering or hard to hear and help you make sense of the world by drawing from my own personal life and media examples to help further prove my points. This is a safe space to have honest conversations and be real about what is happening. It's like therapy, but not really. So with that welcome to The Elephant Room.
