The Mindful Kind

Hello and welcome to episode 311 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, you'll discover four things that can be helpful to do when you're feeling a bit lost (based on my own experiences over the last week!).

1: Take the pressure off yourself and try to avoid making big decisions or changes if you don't feel ready

2: Clean and organise your home or workspace

3: Spend time in nature

4: Remember that feeling lost is usually a temporary experience and simply try to do the best you can to support yourself

Hello and welcome to episode 306 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, you'll learn about unmet needs and how to deal with them in compassionate ways.

Getting our important needs met isn't always possible, which is why it can be so helpful to know how to look after ourselves well when that happens.

Here are some simple and self-compassionate ways to deal with unmet needs:

use self-soothing touch

engage in kind self-talk

make a positive plan to get your needs met in the future

talk about your needs with someone you trust

If you're feeling alone and you're looking for someone to talk to about your unmet needs, I highly recommend checking out the sponsor of this episode, BetterHelp. Head over to trybetterhelp.com/themindfulkind to receive 10% off your first month.

Hello and welcome to episode 301 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, I've shared some of the signs I tend to look for when I'm trying to decide if I'm able to trust someone. Please keep in mind that these signs are not fool-proof, nor are they always accurate!

These signs can simply be helpful guidelines when choosing how much to trust someone.

Sign 1: Trustworthy people often help others feel at ease - you won't be worried about them hurting you, shocking you, or being overly unpredictable.

Sign 2: A trustworthy person will tend to respect your boundaries and won't make you feel like you're not good enough. They'll show compassion, acceptance, and empathy.

Sign 3: Another sign that someone is trustworthy is that they won't be afraid to be vulnerable with you. However, they'll also take the time to build a strong relationship with you before they show you their vulnerabilities.

Sign 4: Someone who doesn't regularly break other people's trust is more likely to be trustworthy. While this might seem obvious, it can be important to keep this in mind!

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