Summary

In this personal episode of The Mindful Kind podcast, discover more about mindfulness and forgiveness (with plenty of examples and insights from my own life!).

I share a quote which has guided me in my own journey with forgiveness and I explain why forgiving others (and myself!) has been such a meaningful and powerful practice.

Step 1: Give yourself space so you can feel your feelings!

Step 2: Understand your emotions and why they've come about.

Step 3: Start exploring forgiveness.

Keep in mind, forgiveness is your own journey. You can follow these steps or discover your own way to let go (or let be!) feelings which hurt you, so you can move forward.

Head to www.rachaelkable.com/interview to send me your questions about mindfulness for your chance to be featured on Episode 50 of The Mindful Kind podcast!

I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.

0:53.6	use mindfulness to be more forgiving towards others and ourselves.
0:58.6	Years ago, I read a quote from Buddha which really resonated with me.
1:03.6	The quote went something like, holding onto anger is like holding onto a hot stone with the intent of throwing it at someone else.
1:12.6	You are the one who gets burned.
1:15.3	For me, these words really rang true and I realized that I did hold on to a lot of feelings,
1:22.5	sometimes anger or frustration or jealousy,
1:26.6	and the person I had those feelings about didn't feel hurt I did
1:31.3	and simultaneously I felt guilty because I didn't really want to be having those feelings at all
1:38.0	so it's been a personal mission of mind to use mindfulness to acknowledge feelings like that, accept them and move
1:46.6	forward. No more ignoring them so they build up behind the scenes or feeding into them and believing
