Hello, ho, ho! Here's an important message from Network Rail for anyone who's travelling by train this Christmas and New Year.

We'll be working over the festive period to make improvements to the railway. Most of the network remains open, but some train services will be affected from Sunday the 25th of December until Monday the 2nd of January.

So, to keep your festive plans on track, please check before you travel at nationalrail.co.uk slash Christmas.

I got totally sucked into Bama Rush Shock and I'm kind of sad that it's over. A lot of you are concerned that Jeff and I poison ourselves and quiet quitting. What is it and why are we seeing it everywhere?

All that and more on today's show.

You are an outsider, living in gratitude, finding the positive in every experience and helping other people do the same. Welcome to the upside.

Update.

With Callie and Jeff.

If this is your first episode of the upside, welcome. If you've been here before, welcome back.

This Thursday August 18th, my name is Jeff Dollar and today I'm grateful for, I don't even know what it's called, but it's basically in three-year-nose, out three-year mouth breathing.

Yeah. Are you mean like literal breathing?

Well, I'm grateful for breathing. Every day that I wake up and I'm still breathing, I'm like, oh, I'm happy about that.

This is happening, but we have done it with Ellie. Yeah, it's like meditative breathing kind of.

She dunked her head the other day pretty bad and I think she was more scared than actually her and Callie was like, okay, Ellie, in three-year-nose, out three-year-nose, out three-year-nose.

And she started to do it and I think it was probably distracted her more. Well, it calms down. I mean, it's scientifically like calms down your nervous system.

But I don't think she was really doing deep breaths.

Deep breaths.

The breathing properly, but in trying to think, I'm trying to emulate what you were doing.

Yeah.

It distracted her from the fact that she just tumbled down three wooden steps and hit her funny bone on every one of them.

So, right before the show, I was just super frustrated about a whole bunch of stuff and I put my head down on the desk and I was like, all right, Callie, just need a second.

And Callie goes, in three-year-nose, just like she said with Ellie, in three-year-nose, out three-year-mouth. And I did it and I actually felt better.
