| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. Do you ever get so busy that at the end of the day when you lay your head down, you're utterly exhausted. |
| 0:15.0 | But even with that severe exhaustion, when you're lying there in bed, |
| 0:20.0 | all these thoughts go through your head and your mind is just racing, thinking about all the things you have to do tomorrow, |
| 0:27.0 | thinking about all that happened today. |
| 0:30.0 | It's amazing how busy we can be and how exhausted we can be at the same time. |
| 0:35.0 | Is this just the way life is? |

| 1:25.3 | It was beautiful. |
| 1:27.2 | It was peaceful. |
| 1:29.1 | And I needed to change because I didn't want life to pass me by and thankfully I did change and when I got into my second |
| 1:36.4 | master's and doctor program I really did slow down and I began to make changes in my life and as I became quieter I saw I could hear so much more. |
| 1:49.2 | Because something happens when we do two things. We slow down and we listen. And we're able to |
| 1:57.8 | slow down by not taking on so many different activities and we're able to listen by being present with what is and |
| 2:08.2 | stop being in the future or stuck in the past. |
