Summary

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.

0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to the mindful kind.
0:07.5	I'm your host, Rachel Cable, and I'm here to share insights into my mindfulness journey
0:12.3	and inspire you to create your own.
0:14.9	Each week, this podcast will bring fresh and exciting news about mindfulness,
0:19.7	from my personal experiences to useful tools and different
0:23.6	mindful techniques.
0:32.1	Hello and welcome back for another episode of the Mindful Kind podcast. You're listening to episode 16 and today
0:40.3	I'm talking about finding freedom with mindfulness. Last week I received a message from Jackie

2:04.0	emotional health so much more. And no one else would have batted a nilead. And if they did,
2:11.4	well, they mustn't have cared about me all that much. Give yourself permission every day to take a mindful break and do something you
2:21.6	enjoy and do it wholeheartedly. Let yourself become immersed in that nice experience without
2:28.1	distractions. Honestly, I used to feel guilty when I started doing things I enjoyed for no other reason than that I enjoyed them.
2:38.3	I would sit down for an hour and read a book instead of making sure the house was clean.
