A free audio to kick off your mindfulness journey
Day 3 Of Your January Reset Countdown
Hello!
Welcome to day 3 of your 10-day January Reset emails from me, each of which includes either a blog, a freebie, a challenge, or a competition to win something good for your mental health!
Today I am giving you A FREE MINDFULNESS AUDIO.
Mindfulness involves observing the present moment, on purpose and without judgment. It involves learning to observe and let go of the thoughts that usually drag you into a rabbit hole of stress and “what if…” moments.
In today’s audio, we are separating the ‘observing self’ from the ‘thinking self’.
The more you practice, the more quickly you will be able to notice and let go of your internal noise.
Mindfulness is not the silver bullet some people make it out to be, it isn’t going to suddenly make you deliriously happier or make your micromanaging boss realise the error of their ways BUT learning to observe and let go of the thoughts and feelings that often take charge in response to the stresses and strains you face, will give you a good shot at taking back control of your inner world and your inner peace.
This audio is only about four minutes long. Grab your headphones and give it a go.
In tomorrow’s email, I will share another free mindfulness audio, this time audio will help you stay present when your thoughts try to derail you.

P.S. These 10 days of emails are a different tone to the essays that will follow in THE GREY ZONE as these focus on the new year, and what you need to start the year with intention.
After these 10 days are over, THE GREY ZONE will focus on the nitty-gritty and nuance of mental health, answering questions such as: “Why, when we have more access to psychological information than ever, do people seem to be getting more distressed and not less?”, “Have we taken the mental health discussion too far?”, “Is it really true that we are good enough as we are?”, “Can self-compassion ever backfire?”.
P.P.S. keep these emails so that you can return to them any time you wish in the future. You don't have to do everything I suggest every day but you can keep them and try them when you have time in the future.
