Mindfully awake and aware

If you don't notice your partner, how can you improve your connection with them?If you don't notice your own feelings, thoughts or urges, how can you express what you want or need in your relationship?In this episode, I talk about how practicing formal or informal mindfulness can help you to calm your time-travelling brain, connect with the world around you in the here and now, and connect more deeply with your partner. This episode of Pause Purpose Play is based on chapter five of my new book, The Lasting Connection.
