| 0:13.8 | technique is customized around the weekly theme. And this is episode 592 and you're going to be guided in a breathing technique to help you balance |
| 0:30.5 | your emotions because this week's theme is all about balance, balancing your emotions when you're in a situation where your emotions |
| 0:43.2 | are being triggered by stress. You can do the different techniques I share with you every |
| 0:50.3 | single day in this week's series. You can try one of those techniques to help you balance |
