Mindfulness - more than just a buzzword

On this episode join Kelly and Kay as they delve into the world of mindfulness. Despite becoming a buzzword in recent years, mindfulness can be understood simply, in other ways, as Kay Woodburn explains on this episode, you can call it ‘attention training...being in the moment or being present...’

Kay explains that whilst many associate mindfulness with meditation and spirituality it is a much more accessible and practical tool that everyone can implement into their everyday lives.

Also in this episode Kay gives advice to a listener whose child becomes anxious in social settings and tells us how children can benefit from mindful practices too. This involves some really simple but effective actions that make all the difference for an anxious child.
