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 bring
0:15.4	meaningful tips, tools and strategies so you can manage stress and live more mindfully in the modern world.
0:23.6	Hello and welcome to episode 283 of the Mindful Kind podcast. I'm so excited to dive into this episode
0:32.6	because I'll be sharing some really helpful and simple mindfulness and meditation techniques, you can use
0:38.9	spontaneously whenever you get the chance. These techniques can help you calm down quickly or

1:42.1	So you might like to start looking for moments when you would

1:50.4	very soon. But first of all, I just want to say thank you to one of my wonderful clients who
