Summary

Hello and welcome to episode 145 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

I'm super excited about sharing heaps of productivity tips and behind-the-scenes peeks into my own experiences with productivity and mindfulness.

In this episode, you'll discover some recent (and interesting!) research about productivity and mindfulness, plus 3 tips to help you be mindful and productive including:

How to take mindful breaks
Why it's important to process your emotions, and
When to use the "one seat" mindfulness meditation.

I've also answered some great questions from my Instagram followers about productivity, including how to reward yourself for being productive and how to use lists to your advantage (and more!). Be sure to follow me on Instagram @rachaelkable for a chance to ask me your questions another time!
