0:00.0	Welcome to the Mary's Cup of Tea podcast. I'm your host, Mary Jilkovsky. I'm an author,
0:07.7	speaker, and all-around self-love advocate. And this is the podcast that will inspire you to love
0:14.6	yourself. Hey, self-lovers, it feels so good to be back podcasting again. Well, you didn't notice my absence
0:25.8	because I pre-recorded last month's episodes while I was away in Spain hosting a self-love
0:34.9	retreat. But I haven't actually sat behind the microphone and did a solo
0:40.0	episode like this in over a month. And I'm really excited to share with you a quick tip for
0:48.2	more gratitude. This is basically an ongoing gratitude practice. One technique that I've been using for, gosh,
0:57.6	almost six years ago ever since I learned it from one of my coaches. And it's the easiest thing in
1:03.3	the world. It's honestly so easy. It's almost annoying. Like it's one of those things that
1:08.3	you're going to roll your eyes when you hear me say it.
1:11.0	But I promise that if you practice this at least a couple times a day or just whenever you remember it,

1:30.4	You know how whenever we're talking about our day or thinking about the things we have to do,
1:38.9	we use those words. I have to go to work. I have to pick up my kids. I have to eat something.
1:50.3	I have to go see my parents. And we constantly are saying, I have to, I have to, I have to, I have to, I have to, I have to.
2:00.0	And the truth is, you don't have to do
2:04.4	shit. You may think that you do. You may feel like you do. You may have convinced yourself that all
2:12.1	these horrible, awful things will happen if you don't do it. And that's a totally different
2:17.2	conversation.
2:19.2	But one thing that I've been doing, like I said, almost six years now is instead of saying,
2:28.9	I have to, I say I get to. And like I said, it's super annoying. Honestly, sometimes you're going to say things like,
2:38.8	I get to go respond to these emails that have been sitting in my inbox for weeks and are stressing me out.
