Every now and again, you need to just let go and free wheel. In each episode of the Lose Your Mind podcast we have done so far, we have always followed a specific topic.  Well, sometimes mindfulness is about letting your mind wander. - strange as that may seem. Do we always need to control the space we are in - restrict ourselves to certain experiences or words? Why can't we sometimes let go...

During this episode of ‘The Lose Your Mind Podcast’ we talk about how mindfulness can help you harness the courage to uncover your confidence. How by taking some time, then becoming aware, we begin to see that we are able to peel back the layers to all that’s inside. From time to time we don’t access our confidence, it hides away! Tune in to episode 5 now and hear what we have to say on this here...

Mindfulness is very often misunderstood as a way of becoming 'Zen' and zoning out, but it is absolutely not that. In this episode of the Lose Your Mind podcast you will hear Alan and Kelly discussing some topics within a topic - such as 'you have to feel it to heal it',  building emotional resilience, the need to control outcomes, and allowing yourself to be angry! Hopefully yo...

Pain is something that affects us all, whether it is physical or emotional pain. In this episode of the Lose Your Mind podcast, we explore how mindfulness can help deal with chronic pain. We made reference in the podcast to some resources, but rather clumsily forgot some of the important bits, like names of authors etc... Books Mindfulness for Health: A practical guide to relieving pain, reducing...

Exam Pressure? Not feeling good enough? Anxiety taking over?  Feeling overwhelmed is something we all feel at times and it can be intense. When looking ahead at all that you feel you have to do it seems unmanageable. No way through. This isn’t the case, there are things that can help you, and for World Teen Mental Wellness Day we want to raise the awareness and understanding around Mindfulness.  W...

Are you hanging up the stockings on the wall? Or breaking down sobbing with the sheer weight of pressure and expectation to make sure you and everyone else has a perfect Christmas? At this time of year, we can get carried away by the sheer amount of things to do, and this can send our minds into a spin of anxiety. It is hard not to be swept along, but there is another way. Listen to Alan and Kelly...

As we close the first series of ‘The Lose Your Mind Podcast’ what a better way to do so than with a meditation! If you have been part of our journey so far you will know that we have been discussing ‘The Attitudes of Mindfulness.’ Over the past 11 episodes we have been sharing our own thoughts and experience on how by simply being present, without judgement can really start to make huge beneficial...

In the last in this current series, where we discuss the Attitudes of Mindfulness, we cover kindness and compassion. Alan and Kelly talk about that most difficult of emotions self-compassion, and practical tips on practising this critical aspect of our lives.

We judge everything, even subconsciously. It is a survival thing, but it can also get in the way of new thinking and new ideas. We get in the habit of judgmental thinking and don't leave space for new experiences. Being mindful means awareness of this, having an open mind and then making your call. In this, the last of the mindful attitudes discussed by Alan and Kelly, you can hear their view...

Tune in to hear Alan and Kelly discuss one of the most powerful of all mindful attitudes - the ability to see what is right in front of us, however trivial it may seem, and just be grateful for it. This can turn your day from a low mood to one of mindful pleasure.

Open up your mind to endless possibilities! Join us in this episode where we discuss the benefits of a Beginners Mind!
