| 0:00.0 | All right, my loves, it's Friday today and it's time for our final practice of this week. |
| 0:11.1 | Today, as a self-care practice, I want you to take something that you normally do indoors, |
| 0:17.6 | and I want you to take it outside. Now, this might sound like a really simple and easy |
| 0:23.6 | thing, but it depends on what you choose and how you go about it. So something that you would |
| 0:29.1 | normally do indoors, I want you to go through the effort because yes, it might involve a little |

| 1:21.8 | even when it's chilly and I grab an extra blanket or put on an extra jacket and I find a |
| 1:26.5 | comfy place to sit outside. That experience |
| 1:28.8 | of reading is totally different. And I actually have a totally different way of relating to |
| 1:34.4 | what I'm reading just from being outside. So that's just one simple example. If you have a meeting |
| 1:41.0 | today or through the weekend, instead of sitting in front of your computer inside, |
