The Best Podcasts to Tune Into for Your Wellbeing
A healthy and thriving YOU is not just someone who stays fit and eats right. To be the best version you want to be, you need to wholistically feed yourself. That includes feeding your mind with nutritious brain food.
Podcasts are an effective and productive medium to get information. Before the lockdowns and stay-at-home orders were put into place, many commuters found that listening to podcasts on the way to work or going home was the best life hack.
Now, you might not be faced with dreaded commuting problems at the moment. But there are just so many benefits to tuning in to great channels daily.
Why you should listen to podcasts:
1. Your brain considers listening as the same as reading - one research points out that there's no difference in comprehension between listening and reading.
2. You can multitask - this is a really productive way to learn something while you're doing chores, finishing routine tasks or waiting in line for something. Level up your laundry time, cleaning time or lone dinners with podcasts that will entertain and educate.
3. There's a wealth of channels and information available - whatever topic you want to hear from and learn about, it seems that there's a podcast that's covered it.
4. It's good for your well-being - long before the written word, people gathered to relay stories and lessons. We passed down our history and lives by talking. We are wired to absorb what we hear, so listening to podcasts is an experience that allows us to listen intently. Unlike articles or blog posts, we don't scroll past parts. While we listen, we create images in our minds or picture out the speaker. We connect to the audio story and this way we learn.
Some would say that listening to a podcast is a distraction in these perilous times. But we don't believe that. Many podcast channels help answer your biggest questions and soothe the worries in your heart.
Here, we're sharing a few articles that list the best podcasts depending on your current mood and needs.
