018: Creating a Mindfulness Practice
The term mindfulness is everywhere these days. What is mindfulness, anyway? From MayoClinic.org, mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment without interpretation or judgment. So mindfulness practice includes breathing exercises, guided imagery, and practices to calm the body.
Everyone is talking about mindfulness. It's in magazines, podcasts, and all over social media. Friends and clients, alike, are becoming stressed about creating a mindfulness practice. There are so many options and so much chatter about it that it all becomes overwhelming. Instead of reducing stress, it is causing anxiety and judgment; all the things that we are trying to avoid (basically the antithesis of what mindfulness is supposed to be).
Today, I am going to take some time to bring awareness to the five mistakes that I've seen women make as they have strived to create a lasting mindfulness practice. It is my hope that through this episode, you'll be able to learn from their experiences and create your own mindfulness practice that is unique and tailored exactly to what you need right now. It is time to reap the benefits of meditation, movement, and all of the great things that help us to put down some of the stress in our lives. You deserve it.
Show Highlights- The “official” definition of mindfulness practice and my personal definition of mindfulness practice
- FOMO on mindfulness practices
- Understanding why a mindfulness practice is important to you
- Experiencing mindfulness overload
- Too much talking and no action and how it is hurting your mindfulness practice
- What happens when your mindfulness practice is dependent on technology
“Know that all these gurus, podcasts, and apps are tools for your mindful practice, but you're the one who's the expert. You are the one with the answers. It's all inside you. You are perfect. You are not lacking. You've just got to give yourself this space to get there.“
