		<description><![CDATA[First up, I&#8217;m NOT talking about pregnancy here. I&#8217;m talking about the most important part of the day — morning — and how we often ignore it to our own detriment&#8230; It&#8217;s totally overwhelming to think thoughts like &#8220;I just need to improve my life to feel happy&#8221; (or any similar all-encompassing line of thought).

		<description><![CDATA[Why is it that we&#8217;re smart enough to say &#8220;that cheese smells bad&#8221; (rather than &#8220;my life smells bad&#8221;), but when it comes to emotional content, we easily get overwhelmed and say &#8220;my life sucks&#8221;, rather than &#8220;my *insert specific problem here* sucks&#8221;?
