Episode 3 - WOOP - There it is!

Where are my 90's music fans? Ready for the next dance craze that you're bound to see on Tik Tok? Okay, okay, just kidding. I hope you get used to my silly music puns because I'm just too Legit to Quit! 

In all seriousness, we've spent two episodes talking about a few best practices surrounding whole-person health and wellbeing. Now it's time to get to work and have a little fun while we're at it! How do we start to retrain our most crucial muscle, aka our brain, to stop getting in the way of achieving our most profound wishes? The bigger question is, how do we fit one more thing into our already busy lives? It sounds complicated and like a lot of time and work, right? Well, thanks to Professor Laurie Santos, Yale University, and her Science of Wellbeing course, I just completed it only takes 7-10 minutes a day. Laurie introduced our class to a process called WOOP, developed by Gabriele Oettingen, an NYU and University psychology professor who has spent the last 20 years conducting scientific research on wishes, how we fulfill them, and what stands in there way. The practice of WOOP still takes work, but I promise you'll have a tough time not building WOOP into your daily routine after you get the hang of it. Join me in this episode for a brief overview of how to get your WOOP on! WOOP there it is!
