You're listening to the feel-good effect. Okay, I want you to imagine that you're in a room

by yourself and it starts getting dark, a little darker at a time, so much so that you don't

really even notice it until it's very, very dark, so dark that you

can't find your way out. And as it gets darker and darker, you start looking around,

convinced that there's probably a door, or at least a window. And then in the darkness,

you see a tiny slit of light.

What looks like might be a window, a way to let more light into the dark.

But you can't get the window open.

You can't get it to widen.

But here's the thing.

There is a way to widen that window, simple habits and mindset to let light into the dark so that you can better handle stress and avoid burnout and let the light in to your everyday life. That's what we're

talking about today. Let's make it happen. Radically simple and ridiculously doable, the feel-good

effect will help you redefine wellness on your terms. Hi, I'm your host,

Robin Conley Downs, and I believe that wellness isn't about achieving another set of impossible standards,

but instead finding what works for you. Drawing from cutting-edge science on mindfulness,

habit, and behavior change, this podcast offers a collection of small mindset shifts that allow for

more calm, clarity, and joy in everyday life and allows you to embrace the idea that gentle

is the new perfect. I invite you to listen in as we cut through the clutter and find the small

shifts that create huge changes in your life, less striving, more ease.

It's time to feel good.

Well, hey, feel good, fam. I am so glad you're here for this conversation about simple habits

that will help you handle stress right now.
