Ramona Rice is a Sports kinda girl. At least that’s how she is known
and loved by thousands of her followers. It wasn’t always that way
though. Sports was of minimal interest in her life until she met James.
James was a big guy, and a big time sports fan,  and Ramona’s passion
for James stoked a deep passion in Ramona for all things sports. Ramona
even started her own Sports podcast called, The Sports Gal Pal.
Then
the unimaginable happened. With a young marriage and two high energy
children referred to by Ramona as her Tiny Humans, James suddenly died
of a stroke. This was only six months ago. Ramona’s strength, her
support team, mindfulness abilities combined with her writing and online
content creation skills, have given Ramona the words to share her
journey of grief so you can learn from her experience.Contact InfoCompany: Podcast Websites (Ramona is the Community Manager there) www.PodcastWebsites.com

helps me see what are truly emotions versus what is really happening.
It gives you a clear-cut filter of what you're feeling and what is
happening.Thoughts on BreathingMy
therapist and I work on this. When I go in, he forces me to do
breathing exercises so I calm down. It does help just to take a quick
before you react. Just take 10 seconds. Do some deep Lamaze breathing,
deep yoga breathing, where you breathe into the belly. It's amazing how
much stress that relieves.Suggested ResourcesBook: The Shack by William P. YoungBook: Why Bad Things Happen To Good People by Harold KushnerApp: Brainwave 32  (It plays pulsating waves which keep me focused)Advice for Newbie
Start
small, baby steps. Just pick one activity each day to be mindful for
and a small amount of time. Whether you chose to follow a guided
meditation or you chose to actively pray where you're actually focused
on the prayer. Or you do devotional time, journalling. Even if it's
something as simple as, I'm going to mindfully wash the dishes and not
let my mind race off, but be clear in the present washing the dishes.
