73 // Coping With Change Apr 13, 2017

Show notes

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.

Show notes

In this episode, I answer a listener's question about how to let go of challenging thoughts and re-focus on the good things in life.

Discover more about thoughts, including Freud's theory of the unconscious mind.

Practise accepting a thought for what it is- simply a narrator constructed by your complex mind in an attempt to keep you safe.

A podcast to help you learn more: All About the Mind

Take comfort in remembering that thoughts aren't necessarily true or helpful. It's normal to experience the unexpected and you're allowed to question yourself!

Don't forget to speak with a therapist if you are struggling with particularly challenging thoughts.

I hope you have a wonderful, mindful week!

How to use positive spaces mindfully:

// Tune into your senses to become more present in your environment
