You're listening to the feel good effect. So I used to suffer from the Sunday scurries, but I don't anymore.

And it's because of this, and I'm going to give you the step by step on how you can do it yourself.

Let's make it happen.

Radically simple and ridiculously doable, the feelgood 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.

Thus striving, more ease. It's time to feel good.

Well, hey, feel good, fam. I am so glad you're here for this episode on my Friday shutdown routine. I'm going to give

you the step by step on the Friday shutdown routine and then how you can do it yourself. Now,

here's what you need to know. I am no stranger to the Sunday scurries. Before this all started,

before realfoodolife.com and the feel good effect effect, I was working full-time and I was in

school at nights and I had a two-year-old. Well, I had a newborn and then a two-year-old. And I absolutely

dreaded going to work on Monday. And Sundays were kind of almost ruined, which is so sad to think about, you know,

I had two days to spend with my family and to recharge and restore, and a lot of Sunday was

spent kind of dreading going back to work. And that is definitely a bigger conversation than

we're having today. I think we can talk a lot in future episodes about how to kind of make

our weeks a little more joyful

and find more purpose so that the actual work is less dreadful.
