KEY TAKEAWAYS
This show contains branded product placement
- Change happens in increments over time and requires practice to make new neural pathways
- If you want to change you have to do something different
- Part of mindfulness is training your attention and understanding the mind will wander some of the time
- As your intention motivates you it helps to focus your attention
- Your intentions are neurochemical, dopamine is released and signals the importance of your intention
- When you judge or shame yourself the learning centres of the brain shut down and all your resources are moved to survival mode
- Treat yourself with kindness and dopamine is released and turning on motivation and learning so that next time you can do it differently
- Mindfulness brings you into the present
- With anything that’s powerful and effective you need to work with it in the right way and a mindfulness teacher is important
- Mindfulness is how you pay attention with an attitude of loving kindness
- Mindfulness helps you see more clearly the patterns you are practising and clarify your values
- Be kind to past versions of yourself that didn’t know what you know now
