About this episode

Including: "exercise snacking," prioritizing play, and overcoming "revenge bedtime procrastination."

Marielle Segarra is a reporter and the host of NPR's Life Kit, the award-winning podcast and radio show that shares trustworthy, nonjudgmental tips that help listeners navigate their lives.

In this episode we talk about:

  •  How and why Marielle got interested in this stuff 
  • Exercise and sleep tips that Marielle has incorporated into her own life. 
  • Something called, "revenge bedtime procrastination" – and how to work with it
  • Some key learnings from Marielle's experience with cancer
  • The link between fitness and play—and why play is so important for human flourishing
  • How to assess how much play you're getting and tips for getting more of it
  • The very subtle but important question of letting go of outcomes—in other words, not pursuing all of this stuff with so much of an agenda— and actually enjoying the process 

Paid subscribers of DanHarris.com will have exclusive access to a set of all-new guided meditations, led by friend of the show Cara Lai, customized to accompany each episode of the Get Fit Sanely series. We're super excited to offer a way to help you put the ideas from the episodes into practice. Learn all about it here.
