The Mindful Kind

Welcome to episode 53 of The Mindful Kind podcast!

In this episode, discover more about meaningful moments and how we can use mindfulness to appreciate them more.

Meaningful moments might be:

- spending time with loved ones

- looking at a flower

- climbing into bed at the end of the day

- connecting with people on social media

- evening beauty routines

Can you slow down, appreciate and let go of stress to immerse yourself in these moments?

I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.

Hello and welcome to episode 52 of The Mindful Kind podcast!

In this episode, discover how to use mindfulness to face your fears.

This is a gentle and kind approach to addressing fears- this is not an episode about feeling the fear and doing it anyway (at least, not at first!).

You'll discover a few of my own fears about snakes and public speaking (and more!) and how I've used mindfulness to face up to those things.

A few tips for facing your fears using mindfulness:

- Take small steps towards facing your fears and listen for when it becomes too much

- Urge surf to let go of irrational, fearful reactions

- Be aware of your self-talk and adjust it to suit you (know which thoughts help you and which ones don't!)

- Use your breath to reduce fear

- Have a plan for self-care and mindfulness after you've faced your fear. Be kind to yourself and try to decrease rumination.

And finally, please reach out for more help if you need it in facing your fears.

Welcome to episode 51 of The Mindful Kind podcast!

In this episode, discover how to go for mindful adventures and why it can be fun, inspiring and meaningful to shake up our routines.

Adventures don't always need to be expensive or grand! Find out a few different types of adventures, which you can do easily and without spending much money.

Tips for going on mindful adventures:

- Make conscious decisions to go on mindful adventures

- Identify worried or hurtful thoughts about going on adventures and either take action or let those thoughts go

- Be curious: soak up as much as you can from your new experience

- Be conscious about allowing yourself to have different experiences (try not to make decisions on autopilot and go outside your comfort zone)

Your mindful mission: Go on adventure or plan one and schedule it into your diary!

I hope you have a wonderful adventure, Mindful Kind!

In this personal episode of The Mindful Kind podcast, discover more about mindfulness and forgiveness (with plenty of examples and insights from my own life!).

I share a quote which has guided me in my own journey with forgiveness and I explain why forgiving others (and myself!) has been such a meaningful and powerful practice.

Step 1: Give yourself space so you can feel your feelings!

Step 2: Understand your emotions and why they've come about.

Step 3: Start exploring forgiveness.

Keep in mind, forgiveness is your own journey. You can follow these steps or discover your own way to let go (or let be!) feelings which hurt you, so you can move forward.

A huge (HUGE!) thank you for all the wonderful new reviews on iTunes, the thoughtful comments on social media and emails I've received this past week. There aren't enough words to express how deeply grateful I am!

A quick tip from one of my listeners following the break-ups episode (number 44) is to create flower posies! I thought this was such a beautiful, creative and mindful activity that I was really excited to share it with the rest of my lovely listeners. Collect some flowers and create little bunches to remind yourself of all the support and beauty in your life.

Three mindful tips for overcoming comparison:

• Discover and know your own values, and regularly check in with them.
• Smile and say an affirmation.
• Mindfully celebrate yourself.

A final tip- be kind to yourself! We all feel comparison sometimes, but remember that feelings of comparison will pass.

I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind!
