In a busy world, it’s easy to get caught up on an endless mental treadmill, always chasing the future and missing out on the magic happening right now.

MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Ever find yourself saying, “Don’t do that,” “Stop,” “Be careful” a million times a day? 🙋♀️ Me too.

The real magic happens in the mess. 🎨✨ What if we let go of our need to control, and instead, embraced the chaos? 🌟 Imagine the creativity and freedom we could unlock, not just for our kids, but for ourselves!

Inner Child Nurturing meditation
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Hi there, This week, I taught self-love tools to my kids' Montessori class. Watching those little ones reminded me of the pure light and playfulness that still lives within each of us. As adults, we often get caught up in responsibilities, challenges, and the pressure to be perfect and have it all together. We’ve forgotten what “success” really means. But deep down, that joyful, curious, and carefree child we once were is still there, waiting to be seen and heard. In today’s podcast we’ll reconnect to your inner child and let your inner light shine....

hi there soul friend! today, I am celebrating and doing a big ole’ happy dance! I found my editor for my first book!

Last month during my yoga retreat in Bali, I had a major breakthrough and haven’t felt this free in over three years! I’ve been working on befriending my fears to move through my problems towards possibly. So, last week, I did this meditation that I share in EP 194 of the MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST, and then...

Cultivating Potency: A Journey of Rediscovery
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
Hey there, I was on a call with my coach a week before I left for my Bali retreat and feeling frazzled of what to focus on – my new website? marketing? Bali? "I want to feel f*ck!ng POTENT!" I blurted out For the past 2.5 years, I've been drowning in overwhelm and busyness, feeling like a diluted version of myself—lifeless, and frankly, dead inside. My coach posed a question that hit me like a bolt of lightning: "What does potency look like for you this week before you leave for your Bali retreat?" In that moment, as I placed my hand on my heart and sank into stillness, I realized...

Journeying Home: Embracing Your True Self
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
how are you doing? like...really? If you're feeling less than sparkly, I hope this love notes helps you remember your True Self and your gifts that only you have. I’ve been on a 3-year quest to reconnect with my True Self - that innate expansive place inside each of us that is infinite possibilities, unbounded creativity and a portal to the Divine. It can feel unattainable, especially in our busy world telling us we’re not enough, but your true self is simply your true nature—the witness of life's flow and an integral part of that flow. Personally, I’ve felt...

3 Ways to be Happier Now
MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST
🌟 Cultivate Happiness in 3 easy steps 🌟 Hey there! We all crave happiness, right? Whether it's snagging our dream job, amassing more of everything (money, stuff, experiences), or finding that soulmate, it all boils down to one universal quest - happiness. In today's Mindful Pause Podcast, we're diving deep into the art of being happy. Often, our joy gets blocked because we're fixated on the wrong thing – our EGO takes the wheel, focusing on the destination rather than relishing the journey. But what if true happiness isn't about what we want, but about giving from the heart to help us...
info_outlineHi there!
I hope you had a wonderful summer and are feeling rested and renewed. I know I am!
It’s so good to be back with you! This season, I’m sharing excerpts from my book: How to quiet the Itty-Bitty-Shitty-Committee coming out in 2024. This is vulnerable for me to share, but I truly hope each week’s intention, lesson or meditation helps you on your journey to know and love yourself.
** If this is helpful and speak to your heart, please do me a favor and let me know – a quick DM on instagram, email me on audreysuttonmills.com and you can help me so much by rating, review and share this podcast.
--------
Today’s podcast is about quieting our inner critic, that negative voice that pulls us down an emotional elevator into believing in scarcity that we’re not good enough and we don’t have enough.
You’re in alignment with your Itty-Bitty-Shitty-Committee whenever you feel inferior or superior to someone or something.
Today we’ll explore 3 ways to quiet the inner critic:
1. Notice when you start to buy into it’s limiting beliefs and negative dialogue. When you’re in consciousness, you’re in choice and can choose a new way of talking to yourself.
2. Question the IBSC. Ask– is this really true about me? Or is this a learned behavior or a conditioned pattern?
3. Create a negative mantra to halt spiraling into limiting beliefs and patterns.
This week’s invitation is to be mindful of how you talk to yourself, and use the mindfulness tools to notice your inner dialogue, question it and use the negative mantra to choose a new belief to serve you.
Each time you recognize a familiar destructive pattern and choose instead to be kinder towards yourself, you rewire any limiting beliefs and shift your patterns.
I hope this has been helpful and I can’t wait to hear how these doable tools are helping you know and love yourself.
Remember, friend ,you are enough and you matter!
