1540: 4 Action Steps to Becoming More Mindful by Katie Ping of More Of What Matters Blog on Mindfulness Practice
Katie Ping of More Of What Matters Blog shares 4 actions steps to becoming more mindful.Episode 1540: 4 Action Steps to Becoming More Mindful by Katie Ping of More Of What Matters Blog on Mindfulness PracticeKatie Ping is a small-town writer, yogi, and mama who values simplicity. She spent decades of her life people-pleasing and drowning in guilt and shame over parts of her that she thought were unworthy. By her late-20s, she found herself passionless and riddled with anxiety - and she knew she needed a change.

Those 15 minutes of strolling in silence down a tree-lined residential street led her to where she is today - facing her fears of imperfection and doing it anyway.The original post is located here: http://moreofwhatmattersblog.com/4-action-steps-to-becoming-more-mindful/Visit Me Online at OLDPodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.
