E62 - Healthy Habits: Mindfulness & Ageing
Mindfulness & Ageing is the final instalment of The Truth About Ageing's 'Healthy Habits' series and it's a good one. Today I chat with the beautiful Wellbeing Coach, Steph Noon (aka. my Mum) about all things mindfulness.
We discuss what mindfulness is, how you can implement 'mindful ageing', what the benefits of mindfulness are and most importantly, five simple ways to implement mindfulness in your day-to-day routine.
We talk about:
- acceptance of the current moment - non-judgemental awareness of feelings & talking kindly to yourself
- mindful moments - finding moments in your day to notice the good e.g. taking time to really be present with your morning tea
- mindful walking - getting outdoors (if possible) and taking time to notice your environment e.g. sounds, smells, sights
- be mindful of who you surround yourself with - prioritise those who lift you up
- mindfulness meditation - can start with short periods and build up to 15 mins
I really hope you enjoy todays episode.
