This is Journey to Yourself week on the ZfEL podcast. Today, I talk about how to make friends with yourself with mindfulness practice. I take you through that path with the metaphor of you traversing a forest with the light of mindfulness as that of a torch by your side. This is a topic that often really resonates with people, and is one of my favorite to talk about because of how important I feel it is, so I hope you find value in it. Also, make sure to listen to this week's guided meditation, ZfEL #19: A Mindful Welcome, which is about welcoming difficult thoughts, emotions, and sensations with the healing energy of mindfulness and changing the fundamental way we interact with our challenges and difficulties.
