Hello and welcome to episode 179 of The Mindful Kind podcast.  Thank you to Katie for inspiring this episode with her question about how to relax during breaks from college.  My top 3 tips for making the most of relaxation include: Prepare yourself to relax by taking some time beforehand to disconnect from work/study/busy-ness and get ready to immerse yourself in relaxation Practice mindfulness during your relaxation time so you can really experience it Practice relaxing every day so it's not a shock to the system when you suddenly have a break or an opportunity to relax.
