cool um I have a program And I want your honest opinion here, Stephanie, okay? I call it 31 Days to Balance and Wellbeing.

I know it's a mouthful, but it stands for awareness, balance, growth, and win-win well-being.

And the reason why I created the program is I was working with someone who didn't want to be hypnotized.

And one of the things I get people to do on the program, and I found this really helped me, um, is i get people to do what a daily task and some of the daily tasks that i get them to do literally the task literally takes you five minutes or less so it's not going to take a lot of your time but some of the tasks i get people do i call them random acts of kindness okay and so it could be something as simple as the You're in the coffee shop.

And you literally, as you go to pay, you literally pay for the person's coffee behind you.

What do you think about those sort of things and encouraging people? The reason why I suppose I did it is because I wanted to show people that they can They can still have the feelings that are often associated with stress and anxiety, but have a positive experience of it, if you know what I mean.

Because, you know, we all, well, maybe people don't realize this, we experience most of our stress and our anxiety not in our heads.

but in our body somewhere in our body yeah and that's what I wanted it's the same sort of feelings but I wanted them to have a positive experience what would you what do you think to that
I think that's a good a good take and it's funny that you bring that up because I do think that as we it's ironic because as we talk about boundaries and lines and the sand and everything I'm I also do think that there is this element of people feel good helping others.
And if you're not feeling resentment, more often than not, if you're able to help someone, if you're able to support someone going through a hard time, if you're able to be there for someone, we as human beings like that, right? And so I do think the whole...
Paying for someone's coffee behind you really gives you this sense of, okay, I was able to help somebody.
I was able to put a smile on someone's face.
I was able to make their day and have a really positive impact by kind of one simple task.
So yeah, I like that.
