0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Mindful Kind podcast. I'm your host, Rachel Cable, author of the
0:08.9	Mindfulkind book, Mindfulness Teacher and blogger at Rachelcable.com. Each week this podcast will
0:15.2	bring meaningful tips, tools and strategies so you can manage stress and live more mindfully
0:20.4	in the modern world.
0:24.2	Hello and welcome to episode 245 of the Mindful Kind podcast. I hope you're well and having a great
0:32.2	day so far. This episode is all about self-care tips for busy people and I'm super excited to share it with you.
0:40.6	But first, just so you know, at the end of the episode, I'll be sharing the details for my free
0:46.2	online video course, all about self-care. So make sure you stay tuned.
0:52.0	So if you're a busy person, here's some advice you might have heard

2:03.3	because my to-do list was long and filled with tasks I didn't particularly enjoy.
2:09.3	A cloud of stress and anxiety hung over my days
2:12.3	and I rarely felt like I got to slow down and actually enjoy my life.
2:17.2	Whereas now, I still feel like my life
2:20.0	is relatively busy, but I use self-care and mindfulness to create more balance. I'm productive
2:27.7	rather than overwhelmed. I ask for help when I need to. My days are full, but they include restful activities that help me recharge.
2:38.8	Sometimes it's okay to be busy, as long as you're taking good care of yourself and cultivating a balance that feels right for you.
