If you're heading into summer without a medical emergency kit, you're taking a risk most people don't think about until it's too late. Summer colds linger and can turn into sinus infections at last for weeks. Getting sick right before vacation can derail everything. And we are traveling, finding a doctor and pharmacy is stressful. That's why I ordered medical emergency kit. It's like having an emergency care and a pharmacy right at home. It includes essential prescriptions like a moxasillin and generic z-pack to treat a wide range of common and serious illnesses. So if you wake up sick at home or on the road, you already have what you need. No waiting for your doctor, no hours at urgent care, no pharmacy lines, no copays.

2:04Clyde Lee Dennis here with today's episode of Seven Good Minutes Extra. In this morning's episode, I talked about why we avoid checking a stressful balance or bill and why the dread of looking is almost always bigger than what we actually find. Here's a small way to interrupt that avoidance today. It's called the one number look and it works in four steps. First, pick one account. Not your whole financial picture, just one. The checking account you use most or the one bill sitting on the counter. Second, before you open anything, decide your next step in advance, no matter what the number says. Keep it small. Something like whatever this says, I text my partner one line or whatever this says, I write it down and I'm done for today. Third, open it. Look at exactly one number, the balance or the amount do. That's the whole task. Fourth, write that number down somewhere,

3:04a note on your phone, a sticky note on the counter. That step turns a vague dread into a known fact. Then do the small next step you already decided on. Nothing more today. A few minutes later, notice how you actually feel compared to how you expected to feel before you looked. That gap is usually the whole point. One more thing, if the number turns out more serious than expected, this exercise isn't meant to solve it on the spot. That's a conversation for later with someone you trust. Today's job was smaller, just to look and to know. Until next time, I'm Clyde Lee Dennis and this has been seven good minutes extra. Hi, this is Dave Roberts.
