The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan

382: STOP Overcomplicating Mindfulness (Do THIS Instead)


Listen Later

Hey loves, in this tender solo episode, I’m sharing what’s been really going on behind the scenes—especially after our family’s big move to Dubai, raising two littles, and running a business in a fast-moving, go-go-go culture.

I found myself craving stillness, yet feeling like my nervous system was stuck in overdrive.

So today’s conversation is an invitation to redefine mindfulness. Not as another thing to check off your list… but as a series of small, sacred rituals that reconnect you to yourself, your breath, and your inner wisdom.

Because the truth is, you don’t need more hustle. You need more presence. You need to feel your life—not perfect it. Whether you're navigating burnout, juggling motherhood, or simply searching for a way to come back home to yourself, this one’s for you.


What you'll get out of this episode… 

  • The real difference between a routine and a ritual

  • How to create your own morning mindfulness practice (without the pressure)

  • The 3 rituals I use to calm my nervous system every day

  • How to reframe mindfulness as a moment-to-moment practice

  • Why your nervous system deserves sacred time, not just scraps

  • Easy tools to reset—before your body screams for your attention
