The Mindful Kind

In episode 43 of The Mindful Kind podcast, I share my thoughts and insights into stress and panic attacks and how to use mindfulness to manage them.

Learn more about panic attacks and where you can get extra support (for yourself or others) in the event of a panic attack, or any other case of strong anxiety.

Discover three simple mindfulness techniques which you can use to calm yourself down, including a breathing technique I learned during my time on a helpline, affirmations (and how I used them myself during a stressful time) and an easy grounding exercise.

Welcome to episode 36 of The Mindful Kind podcast!

In this episode, I've answered a wonderful question from one of my listeners about how to be more mindful during goal setting sessions.

I've shared a few of my own goal setting experiences, including when I set a couple of goals which didn't align with me and how I felt when I didn't achieve a goal I thought I wanted.

Being mindful when setting goals is about listening to what you actually want and how goals make you feel. Ask yourself if the goal really aligns with you, or if it makes you feel nervous or stressed. You can then make informed decisions about whether or not the goal is right for you!

I hope you enjoy the episode, Mindful Kind.
