In this week's episode, I talk about how to make mindfulness a daily habit. How do we really bring mindfulness into our daily life to experience the full transformative effects of the practice? I talk about the 7 keys I've discovered from my own practice and experimentation and show how each can work seamlessly together to create an effective strategy for living mindfully in a busy and distraction-filled world.
I also cover a few optional (but highly effective) points that can further help your efforts to live a more mindful life.
Thank you for listening & let me know what you think. :)
