Happy Wednesday, everybody. How you all doing? I wanted to use the beginning of the show to do a midweek

check-in, so we're going to do that. But before we do, let's do a little housekeeping. Love Lines podcast

over at we are channelcuh.com. So go on over there, check out past episodes. But we got a great show

plan for you. So I'm glad you're with us. Stick around. We're going to be talking about the power of napping, which is something that I never was into

that. I wasn't raised in a family where that was something that was really done. So I was never

really made aware that that was an option, you know? But napping is something really powerful

for us for our mental health and our physical health. So we'll be talking about that.

Also talking about harm reduction in terms of drug and alcohol use, ways to work towards happiness. And finally, old school love line style,

maybe dropping some sex tips on you. So definitely stick around for that. As always, question

the night is up on our Loveline IG page. So weighing on that, we'll be doing some DMs.

But like I said, I wanted to start the show by just saying, look, midweek, even if this isn't

the middle of your week, let's use Wednesday as an anchor

point to just really pause, focus on ourselves and say, hey, how am I doing this week with self-care,

right? Got a lot of week left, got a lot of the day left, or at least tomorrow. How can I center

self-care? Because remember, it's always about the big trifecta. Self-care, joy and pleasure,

and rest. Build those three things

into every single day. And if your day doesn't have the ability to build those three things in,

then it is not centered in mental health. And there's so many easy ways to do those three things.

Again, it's self-care, joy and pleasure, and rest. Sometimes something kind of wraps up in all three of them.

Also, just reminding you that we are still in the middle of a pandemic. So still stay home,

still avoid crowds and people. If you're going to be around people, do it outdoors,

six feet apart for a short period of time with your mask, but I still want people to socialize.
