06/08/18 • 60 min

Here to Thrive ® | Self Help & Personal Development

Jodi Baretz had me having serious a-ha moments. Her description of why we should be aware of mindfulness, and the benefits it has for us, tugged hard at my heartstrings. I've known about mindfulness and the theory for a long time, but I've never had someone kind of hit me between the eyes about why I would want to prioritize it in my own life, and I feel like our conversation really did that for me.

Jodi is a Psychotherapist, Mindfulness Teacher & Integrative Health Coach, and she weaves all of this expertise into her own type of wisdom.

She is also the author of the brand new release, Mindful is the New Skinny. To grab your copy, head here: https://amzn.to/2xNECbp

In this episode, a small snippet of the things we cover include:

How the desire for external perfection robs us of our joy
How a diet-mindset undermines self-compassion
How obsession with food can be an avoidance mechanism for what we don't want to face in our lives
How we can start being kinder to ourselves
Importance of awareness of our thoughts (and how mindfulness helps us achieve this)
How starting a meditation practice can feel like you're locked in a phone booth with a crazy person (but that is okay!)
How practicing mindfulness really helps us out when we're up against life's challenges
How so many of us are missing out on making memories in our lives because we're not present
and how we can make sleep a pampering experience.

All that and I LOVED her definition of fulfillment! It is a GOODIE!

#95. How Far You've Already Come

Are you very good at looking back on your achievements, celebrating them, and taking stock? Or are you like most of us, and often focused on the next goal or to-do?

In this episode, I'm teaching you how to stop.pause. and reflect...because if we're perpetually striving for something else, we're cutting ourselves off from so much of the joy that is already right here with us.

-- if you'd like to review Here to Thrive on iTunes, hit here: www.thrive.how/review -

I'm talking:

· About how important it is for us to look down the mountain and how far we've already come

· Why we overlook so often how awesome we are and focus instead on where we still aren't there yet

· And how we can make space to reflect and magnify the joy in the journey.
