Summary

Hello and welcome to episode 222 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, I answered questions from my listeners about how to share mindfulness strategies with others and how to support loved ones through difficult times.

Here are the ideas I cover:

Remember that other people cope with challenges in different ways. Not only is it important to let them make their own decisions, but it's also important to look after yourself more if you're feeling helpless.
It's often better to lead by example and to let people reach out to you for help and advice when they're ready.
There are three ways you can share advice when someone asks you for help: give them valuable resources, tell them about your honest experiences, and create a fun accountability system.

0:56.4	hobbies during challenging times like being in self-isolation, and how to engage in self-care,
1:02.5	especially as a healthcare professional. And in this episode, I'll be talking about how to support
1:08.1	family and friends who might be feeling anxious and how to share
1:12.0	mindfulness and self-care with people when they ask for your advice. This episode was inspired by
1:18.1	great questions from Paul, Riannon and Donna. Paul wanted to know more about communicating

1:46.2	much for asking these questions and for wanting to be helpful and supportive during such a
1:51.2	difficult time. There are a couple of things that I'd really like to touch on. First of all,
1:57.2	it can be important to remember that not everyone is necessarily going to cope with
