Welcome to a happy place.

This is the Live Happy Now podcast.

Hello, I'm your host, J.R. Houston.

Glad you are making us a part of your week, wherever you are in the world.

Also want to thank our partner, Live Happy magazine.

The new issue is available now. Jillian Michaels on the front, all kinds of great information

in there for you. We will have more on that coming up in just a moment. Want to thank our other

partner, Life Reimagined. Their website, LifeReimagined.org slash happy. It's got all kinds of

things for you to try out as you make that journey toward your peak happiness.

As you awaken to the power of happiness, so to your dreams. So what's next? Well, find out more at life

reimagine.org slash happy. And as always in this series, we're joined by our co-founder, C.O. and

editorial director, Deborah Heiss. And today, we're looking at learning to unplug from work.

And all of these have been super relatable.

But this one especially is something that I think in today's always got to be productive.

Never a Day for Rest society is very important.

And we had someone here who really wanted to tackle this issue, which is Donna Stokes, our managing editor.

Donna's fantastic managing editor. She really cares about whether the publication gets out on time. She cares about the quality of the publication to the point that she was checking her email at stoplights.

So she really wanted to take advantage of learning how to unplug. And by unplug,

we mean digitally unplug. You don't always have to be connected to what you're doing 24-7.

Our society's gone a direction to where we feel like our devices are more important than the people

in the room. And, you know, being at Live Happy, you start to focus on things there.

Maybe you're not entirely in tune with what we're preaching.
