Well done. You've sorted through the embarrassment of riches that is the modern podcast landscape

and found me Rob Briden on my podcast. In this series of Briden and I talk to among

others Harry Hill, Ben Elton, Charlotte Church, Steve Cougan and Dame Harriet Walter.

And that's just a few. We tend to chat for about 45 minutes to an hour never longer.

It's terrific conversation, reminiscent where appropriate and exchange of anecdotes.

So do join me Rob Briden wherever you get your podcasts. New episodes of Briden and

are available early and ad free on Amazon Music or by subscribing to Wondery Plus in Apple

Podcasts or the Wondery app.

This is the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Happy Friday everybody. It's time for a

going about doing whatever you're doing. It's a kind of free range meditation.

If you tune in this week our episode on Monday with Casey Davis was about developing a more

compassionate approach to housework. So I like to think that in our endless quest for

domestic bliss, we can also bring a sense of mindfulness to all the little tasks that

are called for. Our teacher, DuJour is my great friend Alexis Santos who is a featured

teacher on the 10% happier app. Alexis is a longtime student of the Burmese master,

Syedah Utasia Nia with whom he ordained for a while as a monk. Here we go now with Alexis

Santos. Hi, this is Alexis. Happy to be with you today. When our emotions go unnoticed,

it's a lot like carrying around heavy bags. Reactivity and tension can build and the burden

of that weight can leave us feeling exhausted. Bringing awareness to our inner world,

allowing you to move through your day with more clarity, energy, and well-being.
