We can also discuss reality shows and emergency room footage.

Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of I Heart Radio.

Good morning. This is Laura.

Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.

Today's tip is to know what you're there for.

Here's what I mean.

Right now, with the world in lockdown and everyone engaged in social distancing, people are starved

for any sort of get-together. But in normal times, we often wind up with engagements

that are not intrinsically satisfying, but that connect at a deeper level to what we value.

And sometimes this is obvious.

I doubt anyone goes to an elementary school orchestra concert for the music. We know we're there to support

our kids and to connect with them as they do something they've worked hard to achieve.

These are good enough reasons and so we're not agitated when the violas and the violins

appear to be playing different pieces.

Sometimes though when we need to show up it can take concerted effort to find or create a why to motivate the forced performance.

We have to figure out what we're there for.

If we do, though, we can feel far more effective and happier about this use of time.
