Mindful Living Guide

In this weeks episode, I return from an extended break. I have been a bit hard on myself for taking so much time off so I thought it would be good to talk about the practice of Self-compassion.
I talk about Kristen Neff, one of the leaders in Self Compassion and I share a Meditation called the Self-Compassion break (7:25) created by Kristen.

This week I am chatting to Clare Bassett, a Yoga and Meditation teacher who is also one of my first Meditation Teachers.  

We have a great chat about creating a practice that works for you.  Accepting when it doesn't work and the power of just noticing what is going on around you.

You can find more about Clare on our show notes page.

In this weeks episode I talk about my own experience with the Law of Attraction earlier this year.  It helped me to manifest a ticket to one of the top conferences in Europe.

At that conference, I was introduced to Stedman Graham, an amazing speaker who read a very special book called The Race by Dee Groberg.  I enjoyed it so much I tracked down the book and will share it with you.  

The Race is the Story of a boy and a race, the temptation to quit - and the inspiration to keep going.

This week I get to talk to the inspiring Jack Kavanagh about Acceptance and overcoming Adversity in life.

Jack is a professional speaker, performance and wellbeing Coach and the subject of an Award winning Documentary. 

Jack has had an unbelievable journey through life but more importantly Jacks response to the events that that changed his life is inspiring.  He is a realist and recognises the realities of the challenges of life but strives to challenge his own perceived limitations and in doing so inspire others to do the same.

As Jack says himself, his story is just your story written in different words.

This weeks episode is another solo cast where I talk about the importance of creating an Awareness of your Moments.  I talk about my own experience and why I started became so aware of my Moments.

In this weeks episode I talk to Harriet McGuigan.  Harriet is a Mindset Strategist.

We both share a love for Mindfulness and an appreciation for how everyone's practice is unique to themselves.  We chat about lots of things, from Acceptance and Curiosity to Self-Compassion. 
We also talk about how Mindfulness can mean different things to different people but what is important, is that "our version" of Mindfulness works for us.  Whether that is a consistent formal practice or simply pausing to check in with yourself each day.

I really enjoyed our chat and I hope you do too.

In this weeks episode I talk about how our energy can be influenced by the actions of others and how we can protect that energy by operating from our core values.

I share an exercise I learned to help us identify our own core values.  Its a short but powerful episode that may help you in the future when you feel you are knocked by other peoples actions or words.

In this weeks episode I get to chat to the lovely Christine Duff.  Christine, in my opinion, is what resilience is all about.  I first met Christine when I saw her speak earlier in the year about her journey through life.
Christine has had many ups and downs in life but has managed to get through them all.  Along that journey, she has not only learned to forgive people who have caused her hardship but also herself.  
We also talk about how Christine learned to deal with grief at such a young age.   I had so much fun chatting to Christine and I know you are going to love this episode.

In this episode we discus what I believe to be a secret weapon of mindfulness; Curiosity.  By bringing Curiosity rather than judgement to our thought patterns, it can bring great awareness to how we are thinking. 

It can also stop us from going down a rabbit hole of negative thoughts as we feel guilty for having a negative thought in the first place.

We also have a short meditation practice about bringing curiosity to our thoughts so I recommend finding somewhere comfortable to enjoy this episode.
