| 0:00.0 | Hi friends, welcome back to the show. Welcome back to Self Care Daily. And welcome to a week |
| 0:11.5 | where we are slowing things down a little bit. What I want to do today is take a moment to pinpoint |
| 0:19.3 | the most stressful moment of your day. And yep, this might not |
| 0:25.4 | sound like a fun practice. Who wants to relive the most stressful moment of our day? But since |
| 0:30.2 | chances are you are not feeling stressed right at this moment because you're listening to this |
| 0:36.1 | podcast, which is something that's really hard to do if you're feeling totally stressed out. So I moment because you're listening to this podcast, which is something that's |
