 live welcome everybody we're going to do a very quick 10 minute kickoff here because to celebrate the launch of 7% slower slower which is that that book there I don't know where to point to celebrate the launch of 7% slower we're going to do a 7% slower seven day challenge where every day we talk about a new sort of simple easily accessible way to practice the skill of slowing things down because if we don't practice when we don't need to slow down it becomes really hard to practice to do it when we do want to slow down right so this is what we're going to do we're going to do it for the next seven days right around now about one o'clock eastern time I will post every morning so that you guys know it's coming we're going to do it on my facebook page in my facebook group we're going to do it on youtube and you guys can kind of join along and try a different one of these little skills every day so we're going to talk about really easy things like learning to take a shower more slowly I had to do that this morning like it's been such a hectic day with the book launch that I literally had to use my own tools this morning and like shut everything down and just make my shower less 10 full minutes and just do everything really slowly and I don't want to traumatize you guys by talking about me being in the shower so I'll get off that but we're going to talk about slowing down your showers mindfully brushing your teeth chewing your food a little slower walking a little slower feeling the ground under your feet there's a ton of different things that you can do sort of day in and day out that will help you practice the skill of slowing things down so we're going to go through each one of those every day this week for the next seven days sort of leading up to the launch of the paperback version of seven percent slower which will be should be a week from today if not a day or two sooner we'll see how fast amazon processes that one processes that one and yeah we'll kind of go from there so this is what we're going to do look for a post coming at around 245 eastern today that will lay out all of the seven skills that we're going to talk about so you can follow along with that and we're just going to pick a new one every day so I just wanted to thank everybody for really supporting this book in a big way the support's been a little bit overwhelming I did not expect it to be where it is the book is actually doing very well in the Kindle store again it's this this book behind me I can't point I'm the worst at this and if you would like to get a Kindle copy of seven percent slower you can go to this URL that's on the screen right here the anxious truth comm slash sps Kindle will get you right over to the amazon page for you make it easy and uh yeah if you're digging it I wrote it to help you this was a little trick that I came up with in my own recovery many years ago it sort of resurfaced over the last year teaching it to other people and they loved it so much that I decided I needed to turn it into a book and I'm happy that I did and it appears that people that are reading it are really digging it and using it so thanks everybody for popping in uh

questions and doing what we need to do to try and learn this new skill which is not by the way I always need to say this is absolutely not a magic cure for anxiety and stress it is one tool in your toolbox and it pays to develop this tool it was incredibly useful for me years ago and I'm pretty sure it'll be very useful to you going forward so this is why I wrote the book this is why I put the tools out there so we're going to talk about them all all week thanks for coming by let's see if there's any questions you guys want to ask a question too while I'm here I got a few minutes I'm only
