Hello Treasured Listener,

How do you get "down"? Downtime that is! Do you scroll, game, spiral into the social media black hole? What are you REALLY doing on that phone?!?! We find that many people think "downtime" on a device is not time well spent. Today we talk about ways that "downtime" (on and off a device) can be more than just endless scrolling.

Listener,

New Year still applies! It is only February and not too late to reflect on the past and audit for the year ahead of you.

In this epidose we discuss self-reflection as an act of assessing our state of being and self-auditing as an act of evaluating what you do and how you spend your time. Both useful approaches to setting better intentions and planning for a better you! There is also good content on remembering to talk to yourself like a friend!

Happy Summer! Wherever you are we hope Summer is treating you right. Relaxation is one thing, but we find that Summer is a very motivational time. A time to dream and accomplish, so in Episode 40 we outline a few of the items on our own personal Summer Bucket Lists . These items not only make us BETTER, they make our Summer BETTER and we hope they motivate and inspire you to create your own list.

Better is closer than you think,
