0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to practicing human the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life.
0:07.0	I'm your host Corey Muscarra. In today's episode we're going to talk about taking periodic breaks in order to continue doing what we do best in the world.
0:20.0	More to come on that in a moment. First, let's settle in together with the sound of the bells. So this will be a shorter episode today.
0:45.0	And primarily I want to use it to remind you that every inhale requires an exhale.
0:55.0	I think when we really assess how we're going about our lives,
1:00.0	we're trying to get a lot of inhales in.
1:05.0	And I don't mean the actual inhale, I mean the metaphorical inhale.

2:19.7	on getting more into our experience, but instead an opportunity to let something go.
2:28.0	Might be a few moments of relaxing the shoulders while you're at your computer.
2:34.0	It may be taking a walk during the day where you're not doing anything.
2:39.0	It could also be sitting with your partner, your child, a friend, and just having some space to connect without
2:47.2	any agenda. There are a lot of ways to integrate these exhales into your day. Personally, I have a timer that I keep on my waistband
2:58.0	these days and it vibrates every five minutes and it's just my invitation to check in with
