Episode 9: Building our mindfulness muscles with Nick Laurence from Mindfulness for Change

This is episode 9 and today I’m talking with Nick Laurence who is working on a project called mindfulness for change. Mindfulness is a bit of a buzzword at the moment and I’m interested in figuring out just how much I’m capable of because I’m pretty sure that I hold myself back quite often. This might be consciously or unconsciously. Mindfulness is a tool that I’m trying to use to be more aware of the times that I am holding myself back and to allow me figure out how to address that. Nick and I talk through some of its other benefits of mindfulness as well and why Nick believes that we should all build our mindfulness muscles. We talk through; Building mindfulness and meditation as a skill like kicking a soccer ball Getting busy with stuff that isn’t really that important to us.
