The word "mindfulness" used to stop me in my tracks and not in a good way! I used to cringe when I heard it, roll my eyes when it was dropped in a sentence and get bamboozled by what the heck it meant! It. Just. Seemed. Like. A. Trendy. Overused. Term. However now I am "one of them!".
Let's talk about the why's, how's, what's of mindfulness. In particular let's talk about how one form of mindfulness called "surfing the urge," can bridge the gap between an urge and gratification and help us to beat problematic urges like sugar cravings, alcohol urges and unconscious scrolling on our phones. In fact wait until the end because I will lead you through a 10 point surfing the urge mindfulness coaching exercise that you can apply to help you surf your personal urge!
Whether it's the draw of an evening drink or the pull of sugary temptations, this episode is a deep dive into the practicality of mindfulness practices that help navigate our impulses, particularly during those testing hours between 5pm and 8pm. You'll learn to breathe through cravings, identify triggers, and harness the power of mindful distractions, all while fostering self-compassion.
If you find these strategies resonate but you're seeking more personalised guidance, remember, I'm at your service with resources, counselling, and tailored coaching to support you in managing stress and recalibrating your drinking habits. Together, let's chart a course towards a more present, purposeful existence—one mindful moment at a time.
