The Mindful Kind

Welcome to episode 23 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

Thank you for your patience in the late release of this episode! As many of you already know, I had a challenging and emotional week last week and was unable to stick to my podcasting schedule.

However, I'm really glad I waited to share this meaningful episode with you. I'm passionate about sharing my experiences with mindfulness and I learned so much last week about connection and support, which is why I'm dedicating this episode to those topics.

In this episode, I also announce The Mindful Kind Challenge, which you can learn more about at www.rachaelkable.com/themindfulkindchallenge

This Challenge is designed to give more support and guidance to people wanting to be more mindful in simple and effective ways. Over three weeks, I'll be sharing my favourite fifteen mindfulness practices, hosting Q and A sessions, offering giveaways of mindfulness tools and sending everyone a beautiful planner to use once The Challenge is over. The Challenge will start on May 16th, so please head over and check it out if it's something you might like to be part of!

Discover which mindfulness practice I love (and have been doing every day for over a year!).

In this episode, I chat about the importance of finding mindfulness practices which truly resonate with you as an individual. With so many different practices to use, I believe we can all go on our own unique journeys to create meaningful and enjoyable mindfulness routines.

I also share an exciting discount code (just for the wonderful listeners of this podcast!) to be used on products from www.combardis.com.au!

That discount code is: themindfulkind and will earn you 20% off at checkout:)

In this episode of The Mindful Kind podcast, learn how to be more mindful when you're using social media!

I've shared two wonderful contributions from listeners @heartfeltjewellery and @sarah_dillman (on Instagram), who gave their own insights into how to use social media more mindfully.

My own tips include:

1. Really read quotes. Try writing down your favourite quotes in a blank notebook, such as the beautiful ones from Inspirationery (inspirationery.co)

2. Follow accounts you actually like! My favourite Instagram accounts include rebelandroam, photography_byron_bay, combardiselixirs, calm and thestrategylab.

3. Schedule social media breaks.

4. Avoid multi-tasking.

5. Know when to stop.

I hope you enjoy this episode and if you do, I would absolutely love to see your review on iTunes!

Welcome to a special episode of The Mindful Kind podcast!

In this episode, I set my wonderful listeners a challenge- to visualise how they could use social media more mindfully and figure out their own unique ways of practising mindfulness.

I'm so excited to hear about everyone's experiences on Instagram by tagging me (@rachaelkable) and using the hashtag #themindfulkind.

I'll be back on Monday to share my favourite mindful tips shared by my listeners about using social media mindfully and I'll be sharing my own top five tips as well!

Welcome to episode 18 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, I share my journey with public speaking and how mindfulness helped me grow from a girl who could barely read a written presentation in front of her classmates, to confidently speaking in front of 60 women at a wellness event!

The mindful routine I used on the night was this: Breathe. Notice a colour. Notice a sound. Notice my body. Breathe.

I mentioned my eBook, A Journey into Mindfulness: Your Twenty One Day Guide, which can be purchased from www.rachaelkable.com

In this episode of The Mindful Kind podcast, I share some real examples of how mindfulness has impacted my own life in exciting ways!

From less stress in high pressure situations to mindful eating, mindfulness has changed my life in lots of small, but meaningful, ways.

The mindful tip for today is to find one regular activity in your own life and deliberately be mindful next time you do it! Pay attention to your senses and how it feels to complete this activity, gently bringing your mind back to the present whenever you notice it wandering.

In this special episode of The Mindful Kind podcast, I chat about how to find freedom with mindfulness.

With three tips, including taking mindful breaks and letting yourself enjoy them, recognising your strengths and listening to your wants and needs, this episode is all about creating a self-loving, understanding and compassionate mindset with mindfulness and setting ourselves free.

I also answer another listener question about being mindful at school and I share my own journey of creating a mindful and accepting mindset.

In this episode of The Mindful Kind podcast, I talk about my own journey with mindfulness and sleep, from being totally frustrated by my poor sleeping habits to being able to get proper rests and wake up feeling refreshed.

The four mindfulness techniques I cover for getting better sleep include:

• Do a body scan (from YouTube, the Calm app or the Free Gifts page on my website)
• Listen to white noise at night using an app
• Practise gratitude
• Be kind and forgiving when you notice your mind wandering

In episode 14 of The Mindful Kind podcast, find out how I use mindfulness to make decisions more clearly and less impulsively.

Emotions tend to cloud our judgement so in this episode, I've shared a few ways that mindfulness can help us see past emotions to make the decisions we actually want to make.
