Who would you want to have thatperfect breakfast with?
Speaker 2 (00:44):

Exactly Okay.
So, moving on to middaymotivation, one prompt that
stood out to me was reflect onany challenges you've
encountered today.
What did you learn and how didyou handle them?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I like that one because midday can be like that
point where you're eitherfeeling good about the day or
totally overwhelmed.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
And so it's almost like a little check in, like how
are you doing, how are youhandling things?
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, take a step back and look at it.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
And speaking of like helping others, there's also one
what is one thing you can dofor someone else this afternoon
to spread kindness or positivity?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
That's a good one, because you know, sometimes,
when you're stressed out,helping somebody else can really
actually make you feel better.

I think that's somethingeverybody deals with.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Everyone at some point.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, but I think being kind to yourself during
those moments is important, likerecognizing that.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Like for the future.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Yeah, exactly.
So let's just jump right intoit with morning reflections.
Great, the first one thatLestallion has is if you could
start today with a perfectbreakfast and setting, what
would it look like and who wouldyou share it with?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Oh, that's nice, I like that.

And speaking of like helping others, there's also one
