Mindfulness mode.

It's a beautiful way of helping me to like stay very present in my own mind and in my own current experience.

Hey, Mindful Tribe.

Welcome once again to the show.

I'm here today with someone who's known so well in the online space in the area of organizing. and she's written books and she's got a great

podcast. I have actually played this podcast episode before but it's so great I wanted to play it

again for you today. I'm here today with Gretchen Rubin. So sit back, relax and enjoy my interview interview today with Gretchen. Hey, Gretchen, are you in

mindfulness mode today? I am. I've been looking forward to having you on my show for quite some time.

So this is a real treat. Now, Gretchen, I want to share a little bit about you with Mindful Tribe.

Gretchen Rubin is a well-known, and I mean really well-known, mindfulness and happiness expert.

She believes that when we know ourselves and what works for us, we can change our habits and change our lives for the positive. She's the author of several wonderful

best-selling books, including her newest one, which I just finished reading a few days ago.

It's called Outer Order, Inner Calm. And I so believe in this. The subtitle is declutter and organize to make more room for

happiness. And that's what Gretchen is all about, is happiness. Gretchen has an amazing ability

to communicate complex thoughts and ideas with humor and clarity.

And she also has a wonderful podcast called Happier with Gretchen Rubin.

So Gretchen, what does what does mindfulness mean to you and in your world?

I think it's about an awareness of what you're doing and what you're thinking.

And it would seem like it'd be very obvious to you what you're doing and what you're thinking. And it would seem like it'd be very

obvious to what you're doing and what you're thinking, but it's very easy to be distracted or to be

compelled by what you think you should do or think you should be feeling or seeing that you

lose sight of what is actually your experience.
