0:00.0	This is Optimal Living Daily, episode 17-12, MicroBurs of Self Care by Julie Morganstone of
0:06.2	JulieMorganstone.com and I'm Justin Mollick. Welcome to Optimal Living Daily or the OLD podcast
0:12.1	where I read to you from some of the best blogs I can find and get permission from,
0:16.1	and sometimes books covering personal development or self-help,
0:19.7	minimalism, productivity, anything that I think will help you make your life more meaningful.
0:24.8	I'll keep the intro short so for now let's get right to it and start optimizing your life.

1:30.0	discovery for me and an incredibly liberating notion for most parents and then came the epiphany.
1:36.0	Just as we can nurture children in short bursts of undivided attention, so too can we nurture
1:40.8	ourselves in the short microbursts of attention to ourselves and our own needs. Too often,
1:47.2	we think we need to carve out huge blocks of time for self-care. Two hours at the gym,
1:51.9	a quiet evening to finish a book, a full weekend to catch up with friends. It's nearly impossible
1:56.9	to find these big blocks of time consistently, which makes self-care incredibly difficult to maintain.
