9 Podcasts for a New Mindset
From obscure '80s flicks to garden gnomes, if you can name it, there's probably a podcast about it. But, let's be real- one of the most exciting types of podcasts to emerge is the positive mindset pod. (Sorry, gnomes.)
What are Positive Mindset Podcasts?
That's a deceptively deep question. For some, they're a way to start the day off right. For others, they're a guide to nurturing personal and professional relationships. For almost everyone, they're a route to better mental health and a more meaningful life.
How are Podcasts Beneficial?
Listening to a podcast is like a satisfying trip to the gym for your brain. It doesn't matter what type of podcast you consume, either: Absorbing almost any type of informational content positively impacts your brain. When you queue up your favorite comedy podcast to make washing the dishes less tedious, you're not just rinsing lasagna-crusted plates; you're also showering your brain with endorphins. If you tap into a meditation podcast before bed, your brain starts its cool-down routine, awash in soothing oxytocin. Pick the right podcast, and you can do everything from increasing your productivity to boost your mood.
