Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emma Gunn Show and a midweek instalment of

Bullet Points brought to you this week by a discovery that you could also perhaps call

a happy accident. And I shall explain exactly what I

mean by that and the reason why I am sharing it with you, because whilst it might be something

of a personal realisation for me, I don't think it is something exclusive to me, an experience

that only I have indeed experienced. And it happened

very, very accidentally. I know I've already said that, but it did. I have a morning routine,

a morning routine that you and I have spoken about many times over the years. I wake up,

I shuffle to the coffee machine,

I brew an espresso, I sit down, I drink the espresso, I meditate. But actually there had been

a slight evolution, even perhaps something that I hadn't explained or told you about, because

it was just sort of this automatic thing. And part of that morning routine is that I would wake up, shuffle into the kitchen,

and then on the way to the coffee machine, I would turn on the television so that I could catch

the news headlines.

Now, it wasn't entirely a news source.

It was also sort of news entertainment.

So I would turn on in the UK here, ITV,

I would watch Good Morning Britain, I would catch up on the headlines, I would see which commentators

they had on, what subject they were covering. And then when it came time to meditate, I would

press the mute button, shut my eyes and do my meditation.

And sometimes I would even use the clock on the television on Good Morning Britain in order to

count my 20 minutes of meditating. So I open my eye, I've done 14 minutes, okay, six more.
