High listeners, read here. As the holidays approach, thoughts turn to shifting gears and spending

quality time with loved ones. For many people, it's a welcome chance to relax, replenish,

and turn thoughts away from work. But for many founders and other busy people, this vital

opportunity can easily be lost to the urge to catch up on work. It's completely natural,

but it can be unhealthy. And the diminishing and often debilitating impact of failing to unplug

switch off and unwind is something we need to constantly remind ourselves of.

That's why I want to share an episode of our sister podcast, Meditative Story.

In case you haven't heard it, Meditative Story combines immersive first-person stories and music

with the science-backed benefits of mindfulness practice. It's all part of cultivating your ability

to think and act with clarity. And we've spoken about this many times before on Master's

of Scale. For example, on the episode, how to master your emotions with Sam Harris and what great

founders do at night with Ariana Huffington. In this special, short episode, Meditative Story Host

Rohan helps us recalibrate our attitude to time off to make sure it's regenerative and therefore

additive to our long-term productivity and well-being. Rohan shares three short practices that take

just a minute or two each, but will have outsize impact. They are truly scalable mindsets

for dealing with the conscious and subconscious habits we all face, particularly around the holidays.

The lessons are just as vital as the ones we explore in Master's of Scale.

And you can find much more at meditativestory.com. I'd like to wish you a happy and restorative

Thanksgiving break from all of the team at Master's of Scale. And now, over to Rohan.

Growing up in the UK, I was always jealous of American Thanksgiving.

The holiday all about gratitude, the earth's abundance, the kindness of others,

the family and of course, food.
