100. What it means to be a mindful man

Welcome to Episode 100 – What it means to be a mindful man

 

I first discovered mindfulness in my recovery from burnout in 2020. At first I thought it was a bit woo woo… a bit hippy… and certainly not manly!

 

But the more I dived into mindfulness, the more I discovered that it goes beyond meditation, gratitude and journaling. 

 

In this special 100th episode, I reflect on the various definitions of what it means to be a mindful man. This episode is inspired by the men who are part of the Mindful Men Community on Facebook. If you’re interested in joining this growing community, you can find the link below. 

 

Key Quotes:

 

“[mindfulness is] paying attention with openness, curiosity, flexibility and kindness” (Dr Russ Harris)

 

“[mindfulness is] The art of conscious living” (Jon Kabat-Zinn)

 

"Values can direct us when we’re lost, but they can also keep us on track when we’re good.”

 

“Recognise that our way of being and feeling isn’t the only way of being and feeling in the world."
