Ep. 86🧘‍♀️ Ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and inner peace? 🧘‍♂️

Join us in the world of mindfulness – a life-changing practice that brings clarity, serenity, and resilience. Jon Kabat-Zinn beautifully defines it as "the awareness that emerges through paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment."

But what exactly is mindfulness? 🤔 It's your gateway to a profound connection with your thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and actions in the present moment – all without a hint of judgment.

🌼 The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program is your ticket to a transformative journey, offering eight weeks of evidence-based, intensive mindfulness training. Developed by the visionary Jon Kabat-Zinn, MBSR is designed to help you conquer stress, anxiety, depression, and pain, without any spiritual baggage.

Kelly Marie, your radically transparent host of the Healthy Illness Podcast, recently completed the eight-week MBSR course in collaboration with Brown University and the University at Buffalo School of Nursing. She seamlessly integrated MBSR into her existing mindfulness practices from DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) and found it to be a game-changer in her life.

🚀 By the end of this episode, you'll be equipped to spot "mindless" activities and experience the magic of a single mindful minute. 🌈

🌿 But that's not all! Mindfulness isn't just a trend; it's a life-changer. It's been embraced not only in religious practices but also in medical and clinical settings. Research has validated its effectiveness in reducing the odds of a major depressive episode, alleviating anxiety symptoms, decreasing chronic pain, curbing binge eating, enhancing distress tolerance, promoting relaxation, and arming you with coping skills for life's toughest moments.
