In episode 75 of The Mindful Kind podcast, discover my thoughts on resilience, blame and shame. 

Find out how blaming yourself can impact your resilience and what you can do instead.

For example, try changing your thought from "Why did I have to do that?" to "What can I learn from this?".

A great resource about shame is Brene Brown's book, The Gifts of Imperfection, and her TED talk, The Power of Vulnerability. 

Discover why it can be important to take responsibility, rather than blaming yourself or others.

I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind. 

In the third episode of The Resilience Series, discover two types of mindsets which can influence our resilience. 

Here's a little sneak peek inside the episode:

• Fixed vs Growth Mindsets (an introduction)
• Carol Dweck's study on children, investigating fixed and growth mindsets
• How practising a growth mindset can support our resilience
• Tips for cultivating a growth mindset (let go of the need to be "perfect", be mindful of self-talk, stop assuming that past mistakes define your abilities and that those abilities will never change, focus on your effort rather than the outcome and embrace challenges).

In episode 73 of The Mindful Kind podcast, discover how to build resilience to better cope with change.

If you haven't yet listened to the first episode of The Resilience Series, you might like to go back and listen to episode 72 for an introduction.

Tips for being resilient and mindful:

• Try to think positive when faced with change. Write down how you want to deal change, self-care practices you can use in times of hardship, numbers of family and friends you can call, inspirational quotes and anything else which might help. 
• Be aware of your thinking patterns and practise being mindful to minimise rumination and obsessing about the future. "Is it helpful for me to be thinking about the past or future right now and if not, how can I re-focus on the now?"
• Listen to previous episodes of this podcast to build up your mindfulness practices. 
• Be organised, open-minded and pro-active as much as possible.
