WEBVTT - Wishes for the week

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Before Breakfast, a production of iHeartRadio. Good Morning,

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast. Today's

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 1>tip is that when you do your weekly planning, think

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>about your wishes for the week and ask other people

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>for their wishes too. That creates a lot of positive

0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>buy in for the week and may lead everyone to

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>be happier. Today's tip was inspired by Rishmashaw, a pediatrician

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>who focuses on food and family eating patterns. When Sarah

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Hart Hunger interviewed doctor Shaw for our Best of Both

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Worlds podcasts, she said that when she is planning her meals,

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>she invites her kids to give me your wishes for

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the week. Then she can build their requests within reason

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>into the menu plan. Like this idea, even if you

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>are doing the meal planning, you don't have to come

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>up with everything all by yourself. If other people share

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>their wishes, they are more likely to get a meal

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>they like, and if you are lucky, there might be

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>fewer complaints since everyone had a voice in the menu.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Doctor Shaw focuses on wishes for the week in relation

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>to food, but it could also be wise to ask

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>yourself and anybody you plan for about wishes for the week.

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>More broadly, as you are getting to do your weekly planning,

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you might realize that you'd like to go see a

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>particular exhibit at an art museum. Your kids might like

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>to go ice skating, Your partner might want to sit

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>by the fire pit with you one night after your

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>kids go to bed. Or maybe your wish for the

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 1>week is more practical, You might want to cook and

0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>freeze a bunch of meals to make things easier for

0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>your future self during an upcoming busy season work. You

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>could also ask about wishes for the week when you

0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>are headed into a vacation week. That way, you can

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>build people's wishes into your travel plans. There's magic in

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.120
<v Speaker 1>doctor Shaw's phrasing of wishes for the week. It creates

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>a sense of possibility, perhaps even delight. It elicits more

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>smiles and anticipation than just what do you want to

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 1>do or what do you want for dinner? I could

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 1>tell you firsthand that both of those are likely to

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 1>be met with the unhelpful response of I don't know,

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>or a general claim that people want to do nothing.

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>So when you plan the coming week, consider asking yourself

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>and perhaps others in your household about their wishes for

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>the week. Whatever the wishes, thinking about them in advance

0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>lets you plan to make your wishes and other people's

0:02:54.840 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>wishes come true. In the meantime. This is Laura. Thanks
