You'll also hear 3 of my favourite key takeaways from The Mindful Kind book.

Key Takeaway 1: Your mindfulness practice doesn't need to be perfect. You can approach it with an attitude of curiosity, fun and openness.

Key Takeaway 2: Mindfulness can help you develop and strengthen your relationships with other people. This is perhaps the most important benefit I've experienced from my mindfulness practice so far!

Key Takeaway 3: Self-care isn't selfish or lazy - it's an important responsibility that involves genuinely nourishing your needs and wellbeing. 

Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind. 

Hello and welcome to episode 207 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, you'll learn all about values and why it's important to know your own values so you can incorporate them into your life. 

• Values are key concepts that feel important to you, such as creativity, adventure, achievement and compassion.
• Find a list of values online and go through the list. Choose your top 5-10 values and start to think about how much (or little) you incorporate those values into your life.
• Try setting goals based on your most important values.
• Spend more time with people who have similar values to you.

Hello and welcome to episode 205 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, I've answered a listener's question about how to move forward from a break-up (without destroying the chance to develop a friendship) and how comparison can interfere with moving on. 

The two powerful tips for moving forward gracefully include:

Tip 1: Focus on the values that are important to you (and pause before you react!)

Tip 2: Do things that bring joy and purpose into your life (and also take time to be self-compassionate with vulnerable emotions)

And don't forget to check out episode 44 of The Mindful Kind for self-care tips to help you get through a break-up and episode 45 to help you deal with comparison. 

Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.
