You Have Time

Welcome to the You Have Time Podcast, a short-form podcast uploaded every Tuesday to help you live your best life. I’m Fran, your guide to everything mindfulness and meditation. Do you know what else helps you live your best life? Community! But how? Listen to the rest of today’s episode to learn about how community leads to greater success than working in isolation. Humans are social creatures. I often think of social interaction as a big game of the Sims, which I believe is one of the biggest-selling PC games of all time. For those who don’t know, the Sims is like a life simulation game where you can create and play different characters, give them jobs, create families, and fulfill their life needs. Each Sims character has different meters where they measure their health overall, which is inclusive of a social needs meter. Once it gets too low, your sim will cry and suffer from loneliness. This is similar to how real life is, although not as dramatic and robotic, we thrive when we are connected to others and can share our passions, dreams, and aspirations. The people we surround ourselves with can lift us up, cheer us on, and push us beyond where we might normally thrive. Having a community means access to a diverse range of skills and expertise. While this doesn’t happen in the Sims, We achieve remarkable results when we can collaborate

Welcome to the You Have Time podcast, a short-form podcast focused on mindfulness and meditation with a new episode uploaded for you to listen to every Tuesday morning. I’m Fran, your friendly mindfulness guru. Today’s episode acts as a guide to help inspire you to follow your own path to success and will give you practical steps to help you on your transformative journey. Let’s dive right in…. The first step you want to take in following your own path to success is to take a moment to define your success. What does success mean to you? What are your core values, passions, and aspirations? How do they continue to show up for you and define you as a person? Reflect on this and incorporate your mindful journaling practice by journaling about success, how you define it, and where you’ve experienced it.

Welcome to the you have time podcast, a short form podcast uploaded every Tuesday, focused on how to incorporate mindfulness into your life to live your best life. Today’s episode is focused on stillness and the role it plays in your life. I will also provide a meditation to help you cultivate stillness in the current moment.

Welcome to You Have Time podcast, a space dedicated to supporting your journey of self-discovery and inner growth. In today's episode, we'll explore the theme of loneliness and delve into mindful journaling prompts that can help you deepen your understanding of loneliness, nurture connection within, and cultivate a sense of belonging. Loneliness is a universal human experience, and by mindfully exploring it, we can find new perspectives and possibilities for personal transformation. I will guide you through a journaling practice today to help you explore these possibilities for personal transformation. You can take each segment or prompt of today's episode and write them over the course of days or all at once if you have plenty of time for self-reflection.

Today’s episode will be a follow-up to last week’s episode which was focused on how to be more teachable. The content and guidance I will share today is about why being teachable is important and I’ll provide some mindful journaling prompts to help you think about being more teachable on an ongoing basis. Being teachable means that you are open to the possibilities that can appear once you consume new information. Being teachable allows you to make connections and notice things that weren’t there before. By being teachable you demonstrate your growth mindset, to yourself, further enforcing the habit, and to others who may watch you and want to learn from you.

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.

Welcome to the You Have Time podcast, a podcast to help you become your best self by adopting mindfulness and meditation practices. Today’s episode serves as a reminder that it is never too late to do what your heart desires. Over the last 6 months, I’ve been working hard to grow my YouTube channel, to create content that is related to another niche, food. I prepare nourishing meals and treats that help me to be my most optimal self throughout the workday. I also make an effort to explore different cuisines in Los Angeles. This is something I would do regardless of if I was recorded, and while it doesn’t necessarily align with my goals for this podcast, I find that making this type of content makes me happy, and it’s fun to gradually see myself improve every day. However, I didn’t always have what I like to call a “go to grow” mindset. I often felt discouraged and even compared myself to other YouTubers in my niche, my region, and who created content similar to mine. I felt discouraged at times when my content didn’t grow, and would even get on TikTok and felt even more discouraged, feeling like content and social media is a young person’s game. BUT It’s not.
