I'm Emily P. Freeman and welcome to the next right thing.

You're listening to episode 145.

This is a podcast about making decisions,

but it's also about making a life.

If you struggle with decision fatigue,

chronic hesitation, or if you just need a few minutes

away from the constant stream of information,

and the sometimes delightful but also distracting

hum of entertainment, you're in the right place

for a thoughtful story, a little prayer,

and a simple next right step.

We're in the middle of a short series here on the podcast,

all about starting with your senses,

and let me tell you, this topic is right on time for me.

I've so enjoyed this simple practice

of getting out of my head and into my body

by paying attention to what I see,

here, taste, smell, and touch.

In our last episode, I shared some simple ways

to do that if you're feeling stuck.

Take a walk, take a shower, and eat a meal.

Sounds like things a mama would say, don't they?
