| 0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of the Emma Gunn Show. |
| 0:12.0 | I'm Emmerguna Wardner and I'll be your host for this mini show where I'll discuss |
| 0:15.6 | not one but many habits for starting off your day in the right way or or in the best way, or in a good way, |
| 0:22.6 | just starting your day off right. This is not a prescription. I am no doctor, I am no expert, |
| 0:28.4 | and I'm certainly not telling you how to live your life, but life can be a lot sometimes. We're all |
| 0:34.4 | juggling multiple things, and sometimes it's hard to leap out of bed with a sense |
| 0:38.6 | of enthusiasm when the tasks that lie ahead seem overwhelming even before you've really opened your |

| 1:31.8 | stop fretting, start doing. And because I listen to you, my most excellent listeners from all |
| 1:37.1 | over the world, hello, hi, it's great to have you here. I wanted to do this show because a few of you |
| 1:42.6 | have articulated similar feelings and messages to me about wanting to really push yourself to do the things you want to do this show because a few of you have articulated similar feelings and messages |
