0:00.0	Hi and welcome to another episode of the Yoga Girl podcast conversations from the heart.
0:08.1	I am so excited to introduce this week's guest on the show Gretchen Ruben, a five-time
0:14.1	New York Times-Besselling author, superstar podcaster, speaker and leading expert on habits,
0:19.5	happiness and human nature. She's here with us today to talk about how we can stick to
0:23.3	healthy habits and how to truly make 2020 a happier year. Welcome to the show Gretchen!
0:29.2	Hello, I'm so happy to be talking to you. I am so happy to talk to you. I feel like it's so
0:36.5	serendipitous that we're recording this today because I read your book The Happiness Project
0:42.4	but years ago. Did you just you just had the 10-year anniversary? Is that true? Yes, I did.
0:48.1	That was exciting. Yeah. Congratulations. That's really big. But it was it was so long ago that I

1:33.1	realized, you know, what do I want from life anyway? I thought, well, I want to be happier and I
1:37.4	realized that I didn't spend any time thinking about whether I was happy or what could I do to make
1:43.5	myself happier. So I decided that I would spend a year because a year felt long enough that I could
1:48.8	have real change but not so long that it felt limitless. And I divided the year into 12 themes
1:54.7	a month for every theme and I thought about the areas where I thought it could be happier. So like
1:59.5	January was energy because I thought, well, if I have more energy, then all the other things will
