Summary

Hello and welcome to episode 154 of The Mindful Kind podcast.

In this episode, you'll discover some unexpected times when you can be mindful, including:

When you're taking a shower
During ad breaks on tv
When you're lying in bed at night
Whenever you're waiting

I've also shared simple mindfulness techniques you can use when you're short on time, such as:

Noticing your senses
Feeling your breath with one hand on your stomach and one hand on your chest
The Point of Stillness breathing technique
A body scan (for an example of this technique, listen to episode 150 of The Mindful Kind)
