Hello everybody and welcome to the mindful kind.

I'm your host, Rachel Cable, and I'm here to share insights into my mindfulness journey

and inspire you to create your own.

Each week, this podcast will bring fresh and exciting news about mindfulness,

from my personal experiences to useful tools and different

mindful techniques.

Hello and welcome to episode 122 of the Mindful Kind podcast and the final episode of the open-mindedness

miniseries. I've absolutely loved exploring this topic and I hope you've also enjoyed learning more

about it. If you haven't yet listened to the previous two episodes, be sure to check them out

to discover how to be open-minded with yourself and also when you're experiencing challenging

times. Even though open-mindedness is an important aspect of being mindful, I think it can often be

a difficult attitude to have and it might take some practice. I still have moments of judgment and I try to

consciously let go of my judgmental thoughts and

explore how I can be more open-minded. There's been a lot to learn, but I feel like with each new

experience, I'm a little bit closer to being more mindful. So in this episode, I'm going to talk

about some simple tips to help you practice being open-minded when trying new things. I think that we have a great

opportunity to let go of judgments when we're experiencing new things because it's often a time

when judgments do come up. I know for me I can be super self-critical and patronising towards myself

when I'm facing doing something I don't feel very confident in. I think this is a

really important area where we can practice open-mindedness because not only does it help us become

more mindful and less judgmental, but we can also become more able to make mistakes without

beating ourselves up and we can get used to exploring outside our comfort zones.
