When you think about wellness and practices, that what are the things that you would say to my listeners that you absolutely have to adopt?

To-infinitive

If you are living a fast paced, busy life, big career, trying to start a company, what do you need to do?

And I'd say that some of this stuff is stuff I've implemented in corporations.

When I work with my corporate clients, I've instilled this idea of if everyone took a breath for three minutes at the beginning of a meeting, just a breath, just a breath, just three breaths, you won't be carrying the baggage from your last meeting into the next one.

Most of us walk into a new meeting and we're still thinking about what happened in the last meeting.

And you haven't had a second to decompress.

You haven't had a second to think about it.

All of a sudden your manager in this meeting is going, what about this, this, this, this, this?

If you just took three breaths at the start of that meeting, all of a sudden you've paused, you've calmed the energy and now you can actually be present.

going back to the non negotiables, there's five habits that I believe are non negotiable for high performers when it comes to high wellness.

And if you look at the top athletes in the world, the top musicians, the top business performers, 80 to 90% of them practice these five habits.

So these are also scientifically proven, but they're practically there.

And I'd say every exec, every leader, every aspiring leader is an athlete with.

We have to start treating our body and minds like athlete because you're demanding things from your body and mind.

And the reason why I say that one is the first one is because if you're not thankful for where you're at, it doesn't matter how much you'll achieve, you'll never be thankful.

If you're insecure about where you're at, if you're envious about where you're at, if you're jealous, judgmental of where you're at, that's what you're going to be like when you're at the top of the mountain or when you're at the bottom of the mountain.

So the way I'd say to be grateful is not a journal.

Don't write about it, you have to share it.

If you want gratitude to work, it has to be three things expressed, specific and personal.

So if I'm going to be grateful to you, Emma, like you were kindly to me at the start of this.

You said, jay, I love coming on your show.

You were like, jay, when I came on your show, I got to talk about things that I don't really talk about.

You said, you made me feel really comfortable.

And if you think about most gratitude, it's generic.

Studies show that if you share gratitude, if you express it, it's specific and it's personal.

You can't be worried or anxious at the same time.

This is like a light bulb moment for me because one of the things.

I mean, I have been keeping a gratitude journal since, like, the Oprah days, right?

As a kid, I learned that that was something, and

I don't think I understood it so much like, you know, back then, but I really knew.

And for me, it was about redirecting what was going on in my head at the time and having something else to think about.

But what I do do all the time is write to people.

I constantly send emails saying, this thing that you did was really seen, was really appreciated, and

thank you for doing that in the hope that they continue that behavior and somebody else gets the same treatment.

But I didn't actually understand, like, the scientific piece of it because I'm just like, here writing in my gratitude journal.

It's like you do someone a favor, they do something nice to you.

You know, it's like just being grateful, being English, being like, you know, polite, like a nice girl.

I never thought about it in the sense of connecting it to the gratitude practice.

And it changes everything because you just said, and I'd say that to people.

For the next seven days, do what Emma does.

Send one person personally and one person professionally, a text, an email, a voice message, a video message.

It will change your relationships, will change how you feel.

It will make you feel like, you're connected to people.

You're paving the way for others to follow as well.

There's so many benefits, so that has to do.

Like, why wouldn't you do that with your colleague?

Because we're in such a rush all the time and the winds happen, and

you could literally turn around and be like, you did this amazing, amazing job.

So the second habit is something I called insight.

I think about humans really interestingly.

If you're hungry, you go to your refrigerator or Uber Eats or whatever it is, and

But when we're out of inspiration, we panic.

Like, it's like, oh, my God, there must be something wrong with me.

There's something like, that's not working for me.

I think it's really important that we learn something every day.

The problem is we stop studying the moment we leave school.
