Hello and welcome to episode 288 of The Mindful Kind podcast. In this episode, you'll learn about a helpful stress management technique called "Personal Thinking Time."

Not only do I enjoy using this technique myself, but I often recommend it to my clients, as well. 

Here are some tips for implementing Personal Thinking Time:

• Minimise distractions 
• Be open-minded. Some sessions might feel effortless and productive, while some might feel challenging or confronting
• Save your "over-active" thoughts for Personal Thinking Time
• Remember you can end your session whenever you want
