Starting Mindfulness: A Beginner's Guide with Jacqueline and Kibby

So mindfulness, I guess, would be saying like: I'm going to put some space between this automatic urge to catastrophize and excavate the past and all this judgment.
Mindfulness has become a buzzword in self-care, but where do you even begin if you're new to it? In this episode of 'A Little Help For Our Friends', hosts Jacqueline Trumbull and Dr. Kibby McMahon break down the basics of mindfulness, making it accessible and easy to understand. They start by defining mindfulness as being present in the moment, without judgment, and paying attention to your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations.
It's not just about sitting in silence; it's about creating space between your automatic reactions and the present moment. The hosts dive into various mindfulness techniques, including breathing meditation and loving-kindness meditation, offering practical tips to integrate these practices into your daily life. Kibby even guides Jacqueline through a short breathing meditation, making it a hands-on learning experience.
Whether you're looking to reduce stress, cope with negative thoughts, or just find a little peace in your day-to-day life, this episode is packed with useful advice and relatable anecdotes. Tune in and discover how a few minutes of mindfulness can make a big difference in your mental well-being.
