Brief summary: The goal of this research study is to better understand the effects of short practices on well-being.

Detailed description: The aim of this study is to better understand the effects of short practices on well-being. In the initial part of the study, participants will be required to complete a set of surveys assessing their health along with demographic measures. Participants will also be asked to complete a brief task. They will be asked sensitive questions (e.g., about your psychological state, mental health). To have their submission accepted, participants must correctly answer questions designed to check if they are paying attention. This part of the study will take approximately 24 minutes to complete. Anonymized data may be made available to other researchers. One week after completing this study, participants will be invited to complete a second set of surveys.
