Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.12,0:02:43.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,indoors even more is that sticking to a
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.45,0:02:46.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,routine getting up in the morning you
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.99,0:02:49.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,know completing my bathrobe business and

Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.14,0:03:25.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,control and I find that that's very
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.81,0:03:28.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,helpful because it is out of our hands
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.03,0:03:30.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the things that we can control then
