Here are a few simple steps to help you get started: Find a quiet space: Find a quiet and comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. It can be helpful to set aside a specific time each day for your mindfulness practice, so you can make it a regular part of your routine. Get comfortable: Sit in a comfortable position, either on the floor or in a chair. You can sit cross-legged, with your hands in your lap, or any other position that feels comfortable for you. Focus on your breath: Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Notice the sensation of the air moving in and out of your body. If your mind starts to wander, simply bring your focus back to your breath. Observe your thoughts: As you continue to focus on your breath, you may notice thoughts and emotions arising. Instead of getting caught up in them, simply observe them without judgment. Imagine them as clouds passing by in the sky. End with gratitude: When you're ready to end your mindfulness practice, take a few deep breaths and bring your attention back to your body. Take a moment to reflect on what you're grateful for in your life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612bd4948e090d1f2b9ab069/1678388785415-PI7AKG18SGTLJGDX77XB/peacefulforest.jpg Blog - The Science of Mindfulness: How Regular Practice Can Improve Your Mental and Physical Health - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.catalysttherapycollective.com/blog/chatgpt-a-powerful-tool-for-managing-anxiety-and-improving-mental-health monthly 0.5 2023-02-22 https://www.catalysttherapycollective.com/blog/5-quick-ways-to-reduce-anxiety monthly 0.5 2022-04-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612bd4948e090d1f2b9ab069/1649858596951-R2Y1VSFUCA82Y73ZOYBF/unsplash-image-Yg_sNKOiXvY.jpg Blog - 5 Quick Ways to Reduce Anxiety - “…take your dog on a walk through nature.

I’m Jon, the founder of Catalyst Therapy Collective. We are a telehealth therapy practice based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan. We chose the name “Catalyst” because it represents how we view ourselves in the process of change. Individuals seek therapy for any number of reasons, but the core of each reason is a desire for things to be better—for things to change in some way. We strive to be a catalyst, an element that accelerates change so that you can make things better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612bd4948e090d1f2b9ab069/1631121808096-NFZ158MFQ0L88VU2LHPV/handsopen.jpg Home - How therapy can support you throughout the process of change Learn more… https://www.catalysttherapycollective.com/pricing daily 0.75 2025-08-26 https://www.catalysttherapycollective.com/our-therapists daily 0.75 2023-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/612bd4948e090d1f2b9ab069/1630414068955-JE0W9KSCYNLOO7424NS9/Jon+Headshot.jpg Our Therapists - Jonathan Englund, LMSW Founder of Catalyst Therapy Collective Jon is currently accepting new clients.
