Welcome to the Gabby Rees Show, where everything is an experiment.

Hi everyone, so rather than doing a wrap up every week, we've decided that just to kind of take a

snapshot of the month and the different shows and maybe expand a little bit more on that

and just have a better opportunity to go deeper on a few more things and do that once a month.

So for our January topics, we did our top of the year experiment and it was just sort of inviting people each day to be reminded about some health cues or habits to not only kick them off in the right way, but then the hope was, hey, maybe you can take these and implement all of these at some point in each day.

Obviously, that's easier on certain days than other days, but that was the hope of that.

Then I did a solo podcast just kind of discussing my own personal goals, and I'll share with you

how that's been going now that I'm about a month in and then I had an interview with my friend Courtney Cox and that was one that was tricky for me to do as I stated it was like it's like how do you have a friend on and bring value to the

listener but also protect them or just create an environment that they don't

feel like they need it and then they share. Robert Waldinger who is the fourth director of the Harvard study, which really talks about happiness.

And it's interesting when you bring up the word, oh, you know, happy or people want to be happy what makes people happy.

A lot of people, I find it so interesting, all respond with like, well,

happiness isn't real and I would much rather have joy or peace or, you know, something like that.

And I agree.

So when we use the word happiness,

let's just sort of consider it kind of an overarching positive

feeling and then we can put all the beautiful other positive feelings fun and peace and joy and

gratitude and things like that under that umbrella and then finally Mr Tony Horton and that was an especially interesting one for me.

I shared that I was I just didn't know what I was going to get with Tony Horton. I don't know if you guys know this about me but when something seems or someone seems like it's just all figured out and it's like you know you think

of that person isn't willing to ever say I'm tired or I don't I don't you know

maybe I don't feel my best or, you know, kind of those human, sloppy human

emotions that we're always fighting. It makes me, it's not that I feel uncomfortable, but I guess maybe I feel much more comfortable kind of working
