Good evening, everybody. How you all doing? Welcome to the show. We got a great show plan for you.

Lots of stuff to cover. DMs always open. So if you got a DM for us, dropping the DMs on our

Loveline IG page. Love to hear from you. Anything you want answer, topics you want covered,

something you want us to drop deeper into. Let us know. I know going to open the show talking about uh you know

again i use different entry points on topics but they apply to adults and children you can always

pretty much take them out of context i think that's the beautiful thing about psychologies a lot of

these same skill sets that apply to maybe one topic or one population can often, not always,

be really kind of universalized.

This is one of those.

We're going to be talking about how to raise young adults, but again, this applies to us

adults around having better habits in relationship to our body.

I've shared this many times because it was such a profound

thing. I think I talked about it just last week. Yeah, I think it was last week. Studies show that,

you know, back in the 40s, 50s and 60s, people were really working hard on being better people.

And now when we look at what people are working on now, and this is research that comes out

of conversations, but also journals and diary entries, people just want to be hot,

have a good body. We really have our self-worth tied to that materialized, objectified sense of

self. Our bodies are important. Why? Well, they get us through the world. So we want to be very

thoughtful about taking care of them.

Also, our bodies are part of where our emotions reside. And I'm trying to talk more and more about the importance of being connected to our emotions, our affect with an A, as we call it in the field.

But also understanding that emotions are communications and they help us understand

where we are in the world, what we need.
