| 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. |
| 0:31.5 | Hello and welcome to the Mindful Kind podcast. You're listening to episode number 21. Today I'm really excited to chat |
| 0:40.8 | with you about mindfulness and gratitude. So having a mindful gratitude practice is something |
| 0:47.6 | really important to me. Cultivating gratitude has been such a meaningful journey of shifting my mindset and attitude from |
| 0:57.5 | focusing on the negative in life to finding and really appreciating the positive stuff. |
| 1:05.5 | And yes, I used to have quite a negative mindset. I believe that by expecting the worst, I would never really |
| 1:14.6 | be disappointed. I also thought that by expecting the worst, I could prepare and plan for it and |
| 1:22.7 | keep myself safe. However, the issue for me in thinking that way was that even though I was prepared for the |
| 1:30.5 | worst and rarely disappointed, I was also living from a headspace of fear. It didn't really |

| 1:48.0 | think. Starting to cultivate gratitude has caused a huge shift in the way I think. For example, |
| 1:56.9 | rather than being annoyed if the groceries cost more than I expect, I now think how lucky I am |
| 2:04.4 | to have access to so much food and to have the money to pay for it. And rather than focusing on |
| 2:11.9 | frustration over being stuck in traffic, I try to remind myself to enjoy the music I'm listening to. Instead of complaining |
| 2:20.2 | about tidying my home, I think about how lucky I am to be living somewhere I feel comfortable and |
| 2:26.5 | safe in. It's not always easy. Actually, sometimes it's really hard. When my car ended up costing over $1,000 at its last service, |
| 2:37.9 | it was challenging to remind myself of why I'm grateful to have a car. |
