Hello and

welcome to being well, I'm Forrest Hansen.

There is a lot of advice out there.

Much of it is complicated and it can be challenging sometimes to find simple things

to focus our attention on.

Sometimes it's nice to have one simple thing to focus on each day, just one thing to do for your personal well-being and development.

As we continue to interview some fantastic experts, we're asking them for their just one thing,

just one thing that they do each day for their own well-being.

So here's just one thing with Dr. Kelly McGonigal.

What's the most important thing that you do inside your own mind each day for your own well-being?

Yeah, this is not gonna surprise you.

Before I get out of bed in the morning, I think about my values.

And I've been doing this.

I feel like I started in the early 2000, so maybe at least 15 years I've been doing this, which means I'm very well trained and I almost never miss a day, like maybe one or two a year.

And it's so important because before I get out of, this literally takes a minute or two this is not a huge

production I'm able to draw my attention to what I know is is likely to happen that

day what my tasks are what my

focus is and the qualities I want to bring to it

as well as noticing anything that's going on inside of myself.

If I'm dealing with something I'm anxious about

or if I'm feeling there's conflict in a relationship that's on my mind.

I have a sense of what I want to bring to those difficulties as well.
