Mindfulness By Danaya
by Danaya
This podcast is for those who want to meditate but don't know where to begin. Or, alternatively, for those who want to practice mindfulness but would like to have a bit of guidance along the way. All exercises posted will generally be short, less than 15 minutes, with the intention that they can be easily worked into a busy day. Mindfulness doesn't have to be an hour long meditation every day; sometimes just noticing and being aware and intentional about the little things in our lives can be enough.

Self-compassion break
No one can be perfect - we are all human - and yet many of us hold ourselves to unrealistic standards. We might think that we should be able to do better, that we shouldn't feel the way we do or that we should be ashamed of ourselves for how we are struggling. Do you notice all the "shoulds"? In...
