A Walk On The Wise Side

Mindfulness and behavioural change


Listen Later

Welcome back! This is the third in a series of mindfulness podcasts. If you’ve listened to both episodes 1 & 2 of A Walk On The Wise Side, you might be curious as to how mindfulness can have a positive effect on your behaviour, and how it can help you respond to major life challenges.

Dr Stephen McKenzie is a Senior Lecturer at the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne, and a mindfulness researcher, course developer and author. In this episode, Stephen and behaviour change expert Michelle Jongenelis will help answer those questions above, and will once again give you a step-by-step mindfulness practice that you can do at home.


There’s no right or wrong way to practice mindfulness - but it can’t hurt to have a guide!
