0:00.0	Welcome to a brand new episode of the Yoga Girl podcast conversations from the hearts.
0:10.4	I am sitting here today once again at my tea table which is becoming a little bit of a routine
0:18.5	that I'm totally loving. I am drinking a green tea today. It's called stream
0:25.6	enterer. I always find these these teas that have really hilarious and cute names. This is stream
0:32.0	enterer and it's just a really light green tea that wakes me up in a supermelo way. Just keeps me
0:40.0	alert and focused in a sense. And I am actually having a really rare day where I'm feeling really

0:57.7	I was planning to drive layout to school early in the morning but then I realized I really want
1:02.0	to sit down and meditate and practice some yoga. Just roll up my mat and take my time. So instead of
1:09.1	doing what I was planning to do which was to get layout to school and hurry and rush, I just asked

1:57.2	oh, I would love to take some time for myself. Can I change something today? Can I ask for help
2:02.0	today? Can we rearrange the schedule a little bit? Normally I would never do that. You know,
2:07.6	normally in my old ways, I wouldn't even think about the fact that I had the possibility to make a
