Welcome back to the Zen(ish) Mommy Podcast! During today’s mini conversation, we are exploring the relationship between mindfulness and productivity. How many times a day do you find yourself going through the motions? Clearly, we are more productive when our mind has the strength and ability to focus on the task at hand. Meditation and a mindfulness practice is simply a tool to help us bring the mind into laser focus. During today’s conversation, we explore the role of meditation and mindfulness in reaching mental clarity, as endorsed by a long list of well-respected celebrities. Jessica unpacks the difference between mindfulness and meditation, and reminds listeners that there is really no right or wrong way to meditate. Join us today as we answer some burning questions about this powerful paradigm shift.
