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. 

We discuss with Olivia, a 16 year old due to sit her GCSE’s, how mindfulness can be applied to help you when feeling overwhelmed. We discuss how taking a different approach can help you manage not only your time, but your emotions and build confidence in yourself too.

Preventing overwhelm is possible and awareness is the first step. Taking small steps to protect yourself and bringing your awareness to how you feel is valuable. You will start to see that focusing in the present helps you work through what you can control.

Tune in to listen to our latest episode where we discuss what steps you can take to bring mindfulness to your life and prevent and protect yourself. 

A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open.” ― Frank Zappa

Episode 12 - The Mindful Attitudes Meditation - Series 1 Wrap Up! 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 changes to our lives.

The attitudes of mindfulness are a great foundation and when bringing our attention to these states of mind they help us cultivate mindfulness.

Meditation is a formal practice of mindfulness and during this final episode we explore all of the attitude’s in this short meditation for you to try as we wrap up series 1!

You need to do nothing except take a seat with no expectation and simply let things be as they are.

Notice how you feel, and if your mind wanders just notice this.

Notice how you can apply the attitudes during this meditation as well as in your life.

We hope you enjoy and manage to relax for a few minutes.

If you’ve enjoyed this series, I’m pleased to say we will be sharing a mini series with you during December - ‘A Mindful Christmas’ so look out for that or like & subscribe to be notified of any new podcasts from us.

And we will be back in 2023 with series 2!
