Hello and welcome to episode 312 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, you'll discover three important stages that can be helpful when you're making choices that feel right for you.

Stage 1: Collect new information with an open mind (even if you don't agree with it!)

Stage 2: Analyse new information and ask yourself helpful questions, like "Could it be good or interesting if I apply my new knowledge to my life?" 

Stage 3: Experiment and adjust. If you decide to apply new things in your life, notice what works well (and what doesn't!). 

Note: In the episode, I mentioned that I've recently started practicing Qigong and I'm really enjoying it!

Hello and welcome to episode 311 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, you'll discover four things that can be helpful to do when you're feeling a bit lost (based on my own experiences over the last week!).

1: Take the pressure off yourself and try to avoid making big decisions or changes if you don't feel ready

2: Clean and organise your home or workspace

3: Spend time in nature

4: Remember that feeling lost is usually a temporary experience and simply try to do the best you can to support yourself

Hello and welcome to episode 309 of The Mindful Kind podcast. 

Before we dive into the reasons that might be holding you back from success, there's something important to consider... 

What does success actually mean to you? 

Once you feel more clear about that, it's time to take a look at some things that might be holding you back. 

1: Not knowing how to reassure yourself

2: Sabotaging your success or not taking the right actions

3: Lack of confidence 

4: Imposter Syndrome

Hello and welcome to episode 308 of The Mindful Kind podcast. 

In this episode, you'll hear about some of my experiences with Imposter Syndrome, including how it stopped me from becoming a psychologist and how it almost interfered with my dream of writing a book!

You'll also hear about some experiences from people in my community and how Imposter Syndrome impacted their lives, too.

Understanding Imposter Syndrome and how it might be affecting you can be a great step forward! So be sure to listen to the stories and ask yourself - do you see any similarities? Could you be experiencing Imposter Syndrome?

Hello and welcome to episode 307 of The Mindful Kind podcast. 

In this episode, you'll learn about emotional dumping and strategies to help you stop yourself from doing it too much!

I learned about the concept of emotional dumping in Dr Nicole LePera's book, How to Do The Work.

Here are the strategies I shared in the episode:

1: Ask for someone's permission before you start talking about any intense emotional experiences

2: Find a variety of ways to cope with your emotions, such as meditating, journaling, and exercising

3: Talk to different people about your emotions, rather than relying on just one person and do your best to find solutions, instead of just talking about intense emotional experiences

If you feel like other people are regularly "emotionally dumping" on you, try implementing more boundaries. You can learn about this in episodes 254, 255, and 258 of The Mindful Kind podcast. 

Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind. 

Hello and welcome to episode 306 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, you'll learn about unmet needs and how to deal with them in compassionate ways. 

Getting our important needs met isn't always possible, which is why it can be so helpful to know how to look after ourselves well when that happens. 

Here are some simple and self-compassionate ways to deal with unmet needs:

- use self-soothing touch

- engage in kind self-talk

- make a positive plan to get your needs met in the future

- talk about your needs with someone you trust

If you're feeling alone and you're looking for someone to talk to about your unmet needs, I highly recommend checking out the sponsor of this episode, BetterHelp. Head over to trybetterhelp.com/themindfulkind to receive 10% off your first month.

Hello and welcome to episode 305 of The Mindful Kind podcast about dealing with resentment. 

In this episode, you'll learn more about what resentment is and some strategies that I've found helpful when I'm dealing with it, including:

- Practice observing resentment and understanding what it feels like and why it occurs

- Explore if the resentment might be telling you something important. For example, is it a sign that you might need to seek extra support, communicate more effectively, or stand up for yourself?

- Give yourself time to heal from resentment, but also look for opportunities to be honest about it (especially if resentment is appearing in your close relationships)
