Summary
In this episode of The Mindful Kind podcast, discover four common challenges when it comes to practicing mindfulness and my advice on what you can do!
When I asked my followers on social media what their common challenges were, the biggest answers were:
- Getting started with a mindfulness practice when you don't feel like practicing it (even though you know you want to!)
- Making conscious choices to be mindful instead of following old habits
- Remembering to be mindful
- Being distracted during your mindfulness practice
I also mentioned my eBooks, which you can find below to guide you through your mindfulness practice, with journaling prompts, my personal experiences and useful tips:
A Journey into Mindfulness: Your Twenty One Day Guide
A Journey into Mindfulness: Finding Fulfilment at Work
Also, don't forget to follow me on Instagram @rachaelkable and show me how you remind yourself to be mindful with a photo using the hashtag #themindfulkind
I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind!
