EP 312: By Special Request - Mindful Apologies

Today’s post comes from another request, and I’m thrilled about it!!! Cindy, my client, friend, and YouTube subscriber asked me to create a video that talks about how mindfulness can help with the art of apology. Specifically, Cindy wants to know how mindfulness can help us apologize in a way that makes the person to whom we’re apologizing feel felt and heard. And I think it’s an excellent question because most of us have a tendency to apologize AND justify our words or behavior in the same action. And this definitely detracts from the experience of the person to whom we are apologizing. While the skills of mindfulness and emotional intelligence will certainly help avoid this shame driven habit, an apology can actually be a mindfulness practice in and of itself. Check out the audio for the instructions for this practice and let me know if you have any questions. And if you have a request, please send them in via comment or message.
