The ZenRUN Podcast ·

This week’s mindful moment is beautifully simple: put something down slowly. Throughout the day, we’re constantly picking things up and putting them down—coffee cups, keys, phones—usually without a second thought. Today, choose just one of those moments and slow it down.

The ZenRUN Podcast ·

2025/08/06

This week’s mindful moment invites you to transform a chore into a meditation: clean one thing mindfully.

The ZenRUN Podcast ·

2025/07/30

This week’s mindful moment is a fun and instinctive one: stretch like a cat. Think of how a cat moves after a nap—slow, deliberate, and fully present. That’s your invitation today. No yoga mat or formal routine needed—just find a space where you can move with awareness. Reach your arms overhead, roll through your spine, stretch your neck and hips, and let your body guide you.

2025/07/23

This week’s mindful moment is all about bringing awareness to something we often overlook: transitions.

But what if you paused—just for a breath—during those shifts?

This week’s mindful moment adds a playful twist: do a task with your non-dominant hand.

The ZenRUN Podcast ·

2025/07/02

This week’s mindful moment flips the script with a surprising approach: use your phone as a mindfulness anchor. Instead of trying to avoid your device, turn it into a tool for presence. Each time you reach for your phone today, pause for just one breath. Feel its weight, notice your grip, check your posture—then breathe in slowly. That tiny moment of awareness can interrupt auto-pilot habits and bring mindfulness into the most ordinary part of your day. It’s not about ditching your phone—it’s about

This week’s mindful moment is a powerful yet simple one: slow down one everyday movement. Instead of rushing through your daily routine, pick one ordinary action—like putting on your shoes, brushing your hair, or opening the fridge—and do it just a little slower. Pay attention to the sensation, the rhythm, the sound, and your breath.
