Hello and welcome to episode 121 of The Mindful Kind podcast and the second episode in the open-mindedness mini-series!

In this episode, you'll discover some of my personal experiences with strong emotions and challenging times and how I recently dealt with sadness in a more mindful way. 

My top tips for being open-minded during challenging times include:

• Remembering that it's not bad or wrong to feel emotions
• Accepting that emotions come and go
• Listening to your needs and being self-compassionate

Here are some of the resources mentioned in the episode:
