Welcome to Thinner Piece and Menopause and Beyond with Master Life and Weight Coach and your coach, Dr. Deb Butler.

Today is episode 33, developing your mindfulness quotient M MQ, during the holidays.

This is part two.

Hi there.

This is episode 33 and the holidays are coming.

The holidays are coming. And I think Thanksgiving is right around the

corner. And then right after that, we've got Christmas. So we've got a lot of teachers helping us

move along in our mindfulness movement, especially around food. And I think showing a lot of gratitude for this

is the best thing that we can do. And this exact episode is more on what we talked about 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

last time so that you could decide where you were. And it was just one question. I thought I was

going to ask you three, but I ran out of time. So today, I'm going to ask you, I have a couple

more trick questions with different answers

to help see where you are on your own mindfulness quotient.

And remember that there is, we know that there is an IQ, which is your intelligent quotient,

which of course is the total score derived

from one of several standardized tests designed to assess how smart somebody is or their intelligence.

And then I talked about last time about an EQ, and this is nothing that I've made up,

but this is what Daniel Goldman came up with, That is the capability of individuals to recognize their own and other people's emotions,

to discriminate between different feelings and label them appropriately, and to use emotional

information to guide thinking and behavior, and to manage and or adjust emotions to adapt environments or achieve one's

goals. And I think probably most of you who I talk to have pretty good IQs and EQs.
