0:00.0	Welcome to Thinnerpiece and Menopause and Beyond. This is Dr. Deb Butler, master life and weight coach, and as always, your coach.
0:12.6	Today is episode number 189. I want to talk to you about your MQ. You know what it is now because I talked about it on the last episode, and now I'm going to
0:23.2	talk about it a little bit more. Get you all ready for Thanksgiving. Stay tuned.
0:33.9	Hi there. The holidays are coming. The holidays are coming. And I think Thanksgiving is right around the
0:41.7	corner. And then right after that, we've got Christmas. So we've got a lot of teachers
0:48.1	helping us move along in our mindfulness movement, especially around food. And I think showing a lot of gratitude
0:57.2	for this is the best thing that we can do. And this exact episode is more on what we talked about
1:04.3	last time. So I let you in on my secret on the MQ, your mindfulness quotient, right? We're learning how to measure it now. And I used a quiz
1:15.8	last time so that you could decide where you were. And it was just one question. I thought I was

1:51.4	intelligence. And then I talked about last time about an EQ, and this is nothing that I've made up,
1:57.0	but this is what Daniel Goldman came up with. That is the capability of individuals to recognize
2:04.6	their own and other people's emotions, to discriminate between different feelings and label them
2:10.3	appropriately, and to use emotional information to guide thinking and behavior, and to manage
2:15.9	or adjust emotions to adapt environments or achieve
2:19.1	one's goals. And I think probably most of you who I talk to have pretty good IQs and
2:26.4	EQs. Now, what I am introducing you to, which is where we are doing the work, on your MQ, which is the mindfulness quotient.
2:39.1	And your mindfulness intelligence or your mindfulness quotient is really like mindfulness is a
