How to Make Time for Mindfulness: Simple Strategies for Busy Teachers & Parents

In today’s episode of The Balanced Educator Podcast, we explore how to make mindfulness a daily habit, even when you think you don’t have a second to spare.

We dive into the mindset shifts needed to prioritize mindfulness, and share practical tips for starting a mindfulness practice—no matter how busy you are.

We discuss how habits are formed in the brain, why it’s tough to create new ones, and how to get past the excuses our brains throw at us. Plus, we share how we tricked our brains into making mindfulness part of our daily routine.

For teachers and busy parents, we also offer creative ways to practice mindfulness with your kids during everyday tasks—when seated practice feels impossible!
