Join me today as I discuss some ideas around mindful ways towards weight loss. This is not any bit of diet mentality, but instead a way to think differently about how you eat, the stories you tell around weight loss, and how what you eat has nothing to do with your morality in life. It's an interesting topic that goes against what we normally have been socialized to believe. In This Episode: The importance of not tying your morality to what you put in your mouth Socialized ways we have been taught to diet Why diets are a bit of BS How to start changing the way you speak to yourself around weight Importance of planning in stressful times Click here for full notes and to listen: https://michellebourquecoaching.com/mindful-ways-to-weight-loss/
In moments of moderate to intense anxiety the 3×3 practice can come in handy. Drop into three of your senses and name three things that you notice about them. In other words, name three things you're seeing, smelling, tasting, feeling, or hearing. This can help interrupt the automatic catastrophic thinking that's fuelling the anxiety. Stress and anxiety are a part of life, especially during these times of uncertainty, but they don't need to control your day. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/roseythebosslady/message

So if you have a craving for drugs or alcohol, for example, even during the pandemic, it's been a little bit out of control, of course. We'll talk about that I hope. You know mindfulness just tells you to be in the present moment, slow down, breathe.9: 40 This is an ongoing practice of continually taking the negative thoughts that are agitating you, affecting you negatively and moving them through. Thoughts aren't permanent. Feelings aren't permanent.16:00 In fact, addiction in the justice system is between 50 and 80% of folks who are incarcerated, have a substance abuse problem. So any clinician out there you're going to be dealing with folks who've been in the justice system if you're dealing with addiction. 17: 46 Usually there's softer emotions underneath that are being kind of protected, like feeling sad, hurt some of these softer emotions. Along with bringing it into the room, we also want you to bring patients into the room. My feeling is that stuck emotions really need your attention and they also need to have that kind of, that yin yang of self-compassion and patience.22:20 A lapse is not a relapse. So if someone lapses to a substance I would recommend that they remind themselves that a lapse is a one-time, you know, falling off the wagon kind of thing, where you'd use a drug or alcohol, and then you realize, oh my god, let me get back on the horse. Let me, let me get back on track.21:30 I would just want to convey to folks your listeners that call it a lapse, move into the lapse. If you have a lapse and get, go back to your wellness basket and return to the things that make you feel the strongest.Dear Mind, You Matter is brought to you by NOBU, a new mental health, and wellness app. To download NOBU, visit the app store or Google Play.

Morning Mindfulness - Two Positive Minutes to Start Your Day
I think many people, including yours truly, have experienced moments when thoughts are getting out of control. Something is boggling our mind, and we cannot stop thinking about it. What can we do? Meditation often does not work in such cases. It may actually aggravate us instead. So I would suggest physical activity. Sometimes the best solution is find a punching bag and beat the.. whatever.. dust our of it. And that’s OK. That was what my teacher suggested.
Today, Rebecca Williams joins us. Rebecca is a licensed psychologist, who lived and worked in beautiful San Diego, California for twenty-five years. She recently relocated to Savannah, Georgia to be close to the wildlife and the natural beauty of the area. Rebecca's path into addiction opened up through her family's struggles with addiction. Especially those of her late mother. Episode link>>>> www.theaddictedmind.com/92 ( http://www.theaddictedmind.com/92 ) Growing up in this way, Rebecca wanted to learn as much as she could about addiction so she got her Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, followed by her Ph.D. at the University of California, Santa Barbara. One of Rebecca's specialties is mindfulness. She has been working on it for the last twenty years and she has found it paramount to her self-healing and also to her capabilities as a psychologist. She discovered mindfulness through yoga when she started teaching it in the eighties before mindfulness became cool. Mindfulness helped Rebecca to quieten her anxious mind. It's also a tool that has been very helpful to her, in her profession, to help a lot of other people with anxiety, depression, and other issues relating to mental health. Mindfulness, as a practice, is a way through anxiety. Jon Kabat-Zinn described mindfulness as being in the present moment, on purpose, and without judgment. Being in the present moment is a challenge, and doing it on purpose takes work. Letting go of judgment can be difficult, but like everything, with practice, it gets easier. Although it can take a lot to rid yourself of judgment, Rebecca explains that when you get used to not judging anymore, your brain starts to re-calibrate itself. And new, smoother neural pathways start opening up. Rebecca believes that it all starts with the simple step of finding a quiet place where you won't be disturbed for a while. Then close your eyes for five minutes, and focus something like a sound or your breathing. If you do this every single day, you will become calmer and more focused over time. There's no right way to meditate. It's just about permitting yourself to take the time to do it. Rebecca tends to struggle with her mind jumping around, so she concentrates on her breathing to help still her mind. She advises people to keep it uncomplicated, and as simple and as possible. Rebecca also suggests doing a walking meditation. To do that, you can simply count the colors of green that you see while you're out walking. Or, if you're in the city, you can count all the different shades of grey you come across. The main thing is to permit yourself to be okay with any anxious thoughts that may arise because they are normal. And remember that the mind is designed to think so you can simply be grateful for that and keep going. Permitting yourself to take the time to meditate is the number one thing that Rebecca recommends for everyone. This year is intense, so developing the ability to practice breathing, and sitting is critical for healing. Rebecca has seen that resilience and self-compassion are the secret ingredients to recovery from addictions. With resilience, you can calm the nerve-endings enough to function well and be healthier. Mindfulness is one way to develop resilience. Rebecca's book, Gift of Recovery, has 365 affirmations in it. Affirmations, good nutrition, exercising, and getting enough sleep all help to build up resilience. Surviving is important for recovery, however, it's also necessary to thrive because when you thrive, you're able to make good choices, quality decisions, tell the truth to yourself and others, and reconnect with people. And you also need to practice self-forgiveness and self-compassion. Self-compassion is about treating yourself like a best friend would treat you. When you're mindful, you're treating yourself kindly. The moments when you treat yourself kindly add up, and help you become a gentler person. Remember though, this doesn't happen the first time you practice mindfulness because mindfulness is something that you need to cultivate over time. It's the same with recovery. *Links and resources:* Rebecca's website: www.mindfulnessworkbook.com ( http://www.mindfulnessworkbook.com/ ) *Books mentioned:* Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness ( https://amzn.to/2QKe0z0 ) by Jon Kabat-Zinn Gift of Recovery: 52 Mindful Ways To Live Joyfully Beyond Addiction ( https://amzn.to/2JcM7vs ) by Rebecca Williams and Julie S Kraft The Mindfulness Workbook for Addiction: A Guide to Coping with the Grief, Stress and Anger that Trigger Addictive Behaviors ( https://amzn.to/2WDVRqm ) by Rebecca Williams and Julie S Kraft
