Hey there everyone!

I'm so excited to welcome you back to the Have Time Meditation podcast. As your friendly mindfulness guide, I want to create a space where you can learn and grow with ease. That's why I share this short-form podcast with you every Tuesday.

In today's episode, we'll be discussing how to mindfully increase your ability to be teachable. So sit back, relax, and let's dive in together!

Being teachable is such an important quality to cultivate in life. It allows us to continuously learn, grow, and improve ourselves. To be teachable means having an open and receptive mindset, being willing to take in new information, and applying that knowledge to improve oneself or one's circumstances. This involves being curious, asking questions, and challenging one's beliefs and assumptions. A teachable person is open to feedback and constructive criticism and is always seeking ways to learn, grow, and improve. In essence, being teachable is about being humble, open-minded, and willing to embrace change.

Welcome to the You Have Time podcast, a short-form podcast uploaded every Tuesday aimed at helping you adopt mindfulness practices into your everyday life. My name is Fran and I’m your guide in all things mindfulness and meditation. Today’s episode is the 2nd episode in a 2 part series about overthinking. This episode features a meditation while the previous episode features mindful journaling prompts to bring us outside of our heads and back into the present.

As we discussed in last week’s episode,

Overthinking is the act of dwelling on thoughts, ideas, or problems for an extended period of time. It can lead to anxiety, stress, and even depression. Mindfulness is the practice of being present, aware, and non-judgmental of our thoughts and experiences. By practicing mindfulness, we can learn to recognize when we are overthinking and shift our focus back to the present moment, reducing stress and anxiety.

One way that we can practice mindfulness is by practicing meditation. Meditation has several benefits that I’ve elaborated on in previous episodes, such as breathing to take a break, body scan to relief tension, and reducing anxiety overall.

Welcome to the You Have time podcast, where we let our imaginations run wild to envision and manifest our best selves. My name is Fran, and I’m your guide in all things mindfulness to help you realize your best self. This podcast is uploaded weekly every Tuesday morning and it’s short form so that you can listen on the go.

Today’s episode is the first part of a 2 part series on overthinking.

Do you find yourself constantly analyzing every situation or decision you make? Do you have trouble making even small decisions, because you’re afraid of making the wrong choice? These could be signs that you are overthinking. Overthinking can lead to anxiety, stress, and indecisiveness, and can keep you from living your best life because you may be stuck in a spiral of thoughts that take you away from the present moment.

And if you are anything like me, you may be justifying your overthinking habits by telling yourself that you just have an active imagination.

Welcome to the You Have time podcast, a short form podcast, uploaded every Tuesday, that provides you with mindfulness prompts and meditations to help you live your best life. In today’s episode, I discuss strong emotions, such as anger and resentment, and provide a meditation to help you diffuse strong emotions at any point in time.

Anger is such a strong emotion, and we often feel anger in reaction to circumstances or people we can’t control. Imagine that last incident that you had where someone really made you upset or where you were upset over a situation that you couldn’t control. How did you feel in that moment? Did you feel emotional or that you had a loss of control? How did you feel maybe an hour after? OR even the next day? Did you still feel the same strong emotion? Maybe not.
