Hello everybody and welcome to the mindful kind.

I'm your host, Rachel Cable, and I'm here to share insights into my mindfulness journey

and inspire you to create your own.

Each week, this podcast will bring fresh and exciting news about mindfulness,

from my personal experiences to useful tools and different

mindful techniques.

Hello and welcome to episode 92 of the Mindful Kind podcast and the third episode in the Life Balance miniseries.

In this episode, I'm going to address one of the biggest challenges I hear from my community

about life balance, and that is finding the time for self-care. Just before I jump in, I wanted

to let you know that I had a great response to last week's episode about life balance protectors and

called life balance, disruptors and protectors, how to find better life balance, increase self-care

and improve your well-being. Now I know there are a range of challenges people face when

finding the time for self-care and I thought I'd share how I personally navigate some challenges

and a tip for experiencing self-care more mindfully to really make the most of it.

in self-care might seem counterintuitive, but research has shown that self-care and proper rest can

actually improve productivity, creativity and well-being. Not only that, but I've found self-care

increases my overall happiness and enjoyment of life.
