If you’ve ever felt like you’re not “doing mindfulness right,” this video is for you. We will talk about the real-life challenges of staying mindful and why it’s okay not to be perfect.

Being mindful isn’t about being calm and present all the time. It’s about learning, growing, and being kind to yourself when things don’t go as planned. In this episode, I share personal stories, insights, and a practical “Mindful Action” you can try today to embrace your humanity and treat yourself with compassion on your mindfulness journey.

Mindfulness is about progress, not perfection. Learn how to practice self-compassion and embrace your humanness while still making strides in your mindfulness practice. Let's normalize the ups and downs of this beautiful journey together.

Key Takeaways:

  1. You’re not supposed to be mindful all the time—being human means experiencing a full range of emotions.
  2. The importance of allowing yourself to feel anger, frustration, or sadness without judgment.
  3. How to handle the before and after of emotionally charged moments with self-compassion.
  4. Personal stories that illustrate the ongoing process of mindfulness and growth.
  5. A practical "Mindful Action" to help you practice self-compassion when you’re feeling hard on yourself.
