Hello and welcome to episode 98 of The Mindful Kind podcast.  In this episode, I announce two exciting pieces of news: 1- I was recently interviewed on The Slow Home podcast with Brooke McAlary! You can listen in via iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify or the website here: http://slowyourhome.com/199/  2- My blog was selected as a finalist in the Bupa Blog Awards:) If you would like to vote for me, please head over here: http://www.theblueroom.bupa.com.au/blogawards  In this episode, I chat about simple self-care practices for time-poor people. Practices include: -listening to happy or calming music -appreciating good moments in life -asking for help and support  -eating nutritious food -committing to getting good rest -practicing mindfulness and meditation regularly  It can also be really helpful to take small steps towards bigger goals and focus on one thing at a time.  I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.
