Summary

Hello and welcome to episode 223 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

I hope you're well and safe during these difficult times.

In this episode, I've shared three supportive practices to help you take good care of yourself, including:

Mindful self-care
Meditation (particularly short breathing techniques to help manage overwhelm)
Soothing Touch

If you'd like to learn more mindfulness and self-care strategies, be sure to grab a copy of my book, The Mindful Kind - it's currently available on the Book Depository with free worldwide shipping.

Thank you so much for listening and take care, Mindful Kind.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Mindful Kind podcast.
0:06.0	I'm your host, Rachel Cable, author of the Mindfulkind book, Mindfulness Teacher and blogger at RachelCable.com.
0:14.0	Each week this podcast will bring meaningful tips, tools and strategies so you can manage stress and live more mindfully in the modern world.
0:24.5	Hello and welcome to episode 223 of the Mindful Kind podcast. This episode is all about
0:32.0	supportive practices to help you take good care of yourself. I hope you're doing well and feeling all right during this
0:38.9	challenging time. I've been thinking about my listeners who are based all over the world and might
0:44.4	be going through really intense and overwhelming situations right now. The majority of my listeners
0:50.4	are actually in the US and from what I've heard from you guys via social media,
0:56.0	things are changing rapidly for many of you at the moment. But no matter where you are in the world,
1:01.3	I hope that listening to my podcast gives you a few moments to yourself, some time to breathe
1:06.4	and a bit of relief from the intensity of everything happening at the moment with the COVID-19

1:18.1	yourself and especially to help you nurture your mental and emotional well-being. Some of these
1:25.2	practices are from my book, which is also called The Mindful Kind. So if you find
1:30.3	these helpful, you might like to grab a copy to have on hand whenever you need it. You can buy
1:35.5	the Mindful Kind from a number of online bookstores like Amazon and the book depository, but I've
1:41.7	actually heard from people who are enjoying the audiobook version,
1:45.8	because it's like listening to my podcast. Okay, so the first supportive practice I'd like to share
1:51.2	with you is mindful self-care. There's a big difference between doing self-care practices on
1:57.4	autopilot and not really appreciating that time versus mindful self-care where you're
2:03.4	enjoying the physical sensations or the emotional feelings you experience during the self-care activity.
2:09.8	So for example, a self-care practice for me is doing gentle yoga on the lounge room floor.
