| 0:04.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:09.0 | I honor you for giving yourself this time to slow down and connect to the best part of who you are |
| 0:21.9 | as you get ready to settle yourself in and meditate. |
| 0:27.0 | I'm Mary Meckley and I am excited to share with you today's meditation technique you can carry into your meditation today. |
| 0:51.0 | And our theme we've been exploring this week is all about the big five personality traits psychologists agree |
| 0:56.7 | contribute to happiness and wellness. |
| 1:03.0 | And so we've been exploring these big five traits all week long, |
| 1:09.0 | and we explored how being open and low on the trade of neuroticism, meaning being emotionally stable, not having mood shifts, and being able to manage stress, |

| 2:47.5 | agreeableness don't really take so much interest in others even though they might be around other people on a |
| 2:57.3 | regular basis. |
| 2:58.3 | But they don't really connect with people inter-personally so well. |
| 3:04.0 | They're not really concerned about how that person's feeling |
| 3:07.6 | and if the person is excited or happy, |
| 3:11.4 | they don't really share that joy, and if the person is struggling or hurting, |
| 3:20.5 | they really have little interest in knowing how to help them. |
