| 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. |
| 0:32.6 | Hello and welcome to episode 57 of the Mindful Kind podcast. |
| 0:43.7 | In this episode, I'm going to talk about emotions which we might be perceiving as negative and how mindfulness can help us experience them in a more non-judgmental way. |

| 1:29.9 | and if it was violent, made me feel squeamish as well? I spent so much time trying to manage |
| 1:36.4 | stress and fear, so the idea of watching a movie which encouraged those feelings to me didn't |
| 1:42.9 | make any sense. However, along came my boyfriend who not only |
| 1:47.9 | loves scary movies, but is also a media teacher, and suddenly I was facing a bit of a problem. |
| 1:55.7 | I was scared of being scared, and he wanted to watch movies like The Shining and Silence of the Lambs and Jaws. |
| 2:03.9 | So both of us were pretty upfront about it and he decided he'd help me explore scary movies |
| 2:10.1 | and maybe learn to feel fear without perceiving it as bad. |
