‘Get Lively’ with these Top 20 Summer Podcasts.
Hey!
I was really trying to amp up my mood the other morning as I was getting ready for work. I had a day full of back-to-back meetings and needed my energy on at full throttle high.
And you know what worked?
An over-the-top silly, mindless, guffaw provoking podcast. The goofiness lifted my spirit, and a few giggles that slipped out was just what I needed to hit my day head on with get-up-and-go.
You got this tip and trick going on too? If not, highly recommend trying it.
I also love doing a little double duty on my time and using podcasts for learning. Not only do I feel super productive learning something while I am vacuuming or doing my hair in the morning, but I seem to really be able to absorb the education when I am doing a low-key activity.
And there is nothing better than having your podcasts locked down and loaded for a long drive, plane ride, strenuous hike or long anything to take your mind off things.
I usually have about 10 podcasts spinning at once depending on my mood. And another 10 lined up as to be “checked out”. And am quick on the trigger to hit “share” on an episode via text or what’s app if I think my friends or family would get a kick out of it.
This article on BuzzFeed talks about “podfasters” who listen to their podcasts on fast speed (ok, I am a little guilty of that) and how more than 5 podcast listens a week may be too over stimulating for our brains. The controversy on podcast listening! Check it out here.
Who knew even podcast listening had to be kept in balance? I give that at little what the? Thanks to everyone who shared their favourite summer Spotify podcasts they have been loving… drum roooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll:
