Part of our Routines series, Sarah and Amanda converse with three mother runners about the mindfulness techniques they practice to relieve anxiety, improve mood, and affect positive change. Learn:

• how “expressive writing” can provide calm and reflection;
• the various ways these women choose—and use—mantras;
• the power of humor (including foul-but-funny coloring books!);
• what “box breathing” is and what it can do for you; and,
• how spending a little time using a mindfulness “tool” can provide big rewards.
