Welcome to Live Mindfully

Brene Brown, renowned Shame Researcher, has a wonderful boundary mantra: "say yes to discomfort and no to resentment".

In today's episode I am sharing my experience with the silent boundary method. This method was something I started about 5 years ago and it has worked miracles in my relationships, especially the one I have with myself.

To achieve the Silent Boundary Method, we need to normalise three things:
1) Saying no without justification and extra details
2) Creating space before giving an answer IE "I'll need to check some things and if it's a yes, I'll come back to you"
3) Letting the other person have their response - disappointment, anger, upset; without taking it on board ~ this is by far the hardest, but if we learn to accept and expect this, we won't see other people's response as proof that we can't set boundaries.

I've given up trying to cure my mental illness and it's done wonders for my well-being - this was the headline from a recent article I read on MSN and in today’s episode I explore if the road to better mental health and to happiness is accepting that the opposite is true. 

Let’s get started.

Two weeks ago I started researching the Power of Crying. It was during this research that I stumbled across information I had not heard of before - how our environments are made up of both positive and negative ions and how much of an impact these ions are having on our health.

Sit back, relax and prepare to have your mind blown!

In today’s episode I am sharing Part 2 of The Power of Crying. When we Release, we Heal; with a particular focus on why some of us cry more than others and what drives this behaviour.

As it turns out this was not an easy question to answer, with a range of conflicting research and ideas delivered by Psychotherapists, Clinical Psychologists and Biochemists. I have compiled it all here though and hopefully have made some sense out of it for you.

As always, the best expert of you is YOU! So always take any new research with a healthy dose of 'is this true for me'!

In today’s podcast I am sharing the power of crying and as an non-crier myself, this episode was so much deeper for me than any I have recorded so far. This episode taught me the power of releasing on not just a physical, but on an energetic level as well and how much emotion and energy is held in our tears.

When you release, you heal. It’s that simple.

In today’s episode I am sharing my three tips for trading out bad habits for good ones. We look at our unconscious patterning and how this transcends habits, how to use the witness mind to merge this unconscious behaviour into our conscious minds and how the mind, body and spirit need to come together for this to be effective.

How we come home from a long day sets the tone and energy of our house and how the people who live there react to us when we arrive. If we are entering day after day angry and tired than our most loved people and pets have to field that each day. If we can take the time to adjust a couple of things, this will shift not only how we view the world, but the kind of life we wish to live.

In today's episode I share a quick and easy way to shift that mindset. It is these little changes that lead to an extraordinary life.
