96: How to become mindful rather than mind FULL May 03, 2023

Show notes

Do your thoughts come racing at you as soon as you wake up? Oftentimes our minds run wild with the to-do list, reflections on previous conversations, or predictions about upcoming meetings.

It's no surprise that the average human processes 6200 thoughts per day.

These constant racing thoughts can lead to anxiety, restlessness, and a general lack of peace without us even becoming aware of it.

That's where mindfulness comes in. Performing acts of mindfulness can help ease a full mind by simply becoming more aware of the present moment.

On this episode of The Balanced Life podcast, you'll learn how to become more mindful and less mind FULL.

You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

What it means to be mindful [4:35]
An example of how I used mindfulness to unwind [7:12]
How Pilates improves mindfulness [9:20]
