Learning to Rest

Many of us take vacations in the summer, and sometimes by the time we get back, we may feel as though we need a vacation from the vacation. In this episode we discuss the importance of learning to rest; strategies are shared on how to do so, and how that intertwines with the concept of mindfulness. ABOUT the SHOW:The Free to Be Mindful podcast provides bite-sized tips for parents, educators and anyone interested in Mindful Living.
