Putting yourself in a positive mindset is essential to getting things done and staying on top of your tasks each semester. Sometimes it’s hard to get there totally on your own, so in this article I’ll go through my top seven podcasts that help me get there! One way I get to a better headspace when I’m struggling is through mindful and positive podcasts that help me focus on the important things and grow.
- Mindful in Minutes
-
This 20 minute, 5-star show about mindfulness helps me think more logically and calmly. It’s set up as a guided meditation and overall the goal is to help listeners to live their lives purposefully. Listen to stop overthinking and exist more at the moment this semester.
- Untangle
-
Just a bit longer than the last podcast, around 40 minutes per episode. Listen to this to learn about mindfulness in general. If you want to hear about specific stories from real people and mindfulness experts, then this podcast is the one for you.
- Made of Magic
-
Moving from mindfulness and meditation to self-love and self-acceptance, this podcast is made by women and for women. The goal is to help you learn how to love yourself unapologetically. It’s been rated 5 stars by viewers and holds glowing reviews from other women as well as myself.
- Self-Love Letters
-
Taking more of an abstract and reflective approach to self-love, this podcast includes stories of how real people experienced their route to genuinely loving themselves. Each one is about 40 minutes and aims to help viewers learn by the action and experiences of others. Think of it as a letters people have written to themselves that you get to listen to and learn from as well.
- Growth Mindset Podcast
-
Similar to the last podcast as far as personal stories, this one takes a similar approach but in a longer and more specific format. Each episode is about an hour long and takes important/successful people and breaks down into steps on how they accomplished what they did. The goal is to help yourself learn that you can achieve anything as long as you put your mind to it and take small steps as previous leaders have.
- Everyday Positivity
-
This podcast is for listeners who need new content every single day, maybe on the morning commute or walk to class. This podcast releases a 20 minute episode every morning with new strategies and ways to stay positive each and every day. It’s meant to be a way to start your day off right no matter what.
- Positivity Strategist
-
Similar to the last podcast, this one surrounds the concept of positivity and how to maintain it in your daily life. This one though takes a deeper dive into how we can weave it into every moment while remaining realistic and practical in our actions. Positivity isn’t about being naïve, it’s about finding the good in every day, and this podcast helps you do just that in its weekly 40 minute episodes.
Take this semester for yourself. Take care of yourself and use these podcasts when it feels hard to do so on your own!
