Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the show. We are back, back, back, back again.

Now some of you might know that reference. Clearly, you'll have a sense of what I might have been watching over the weekend.

Here we are. Got a great show plan for you. I was stoked to unpack, break down and discuss this topic.

You know, I spend my weekends focusing on rest, focusing on leisure and pleasure,

barring all work and labor out of my life.

Why?

Because weekends are for fun.

However, like everybody else, sometimes there's still a lot to do.

That doesn't get done during the weekend.

You know, that's when

you do it so all that to say i was out reading and researching for actually it's part of what

i find very pleasurable and restful is oddly research and writing and reading and you know it's

self-development but it's also professional development, right?

Because all of that shows up in my professional work. It also shows up, like I said, in my own

individual work with myself. It shows up in my relationships, which is why I'm always advocating

for, yes, we need to move our bodies for physical health, but that has nothing at all to do with your mental, relational, social,

or professional health. All of those things really fall under the rubric of psychological care.

What does that mean? It means awesome that you're all our hiking, awesome that some of you are

doing fitness classes and CrossFit and the gym and yoga and Pilates and gyrotonic and dance and bar

and orange theory and all these wild programs. But please, please, please, please, make sure you are

also lifting muscles for your brain because our mental health impacts our professional health,

our social health, our romantic health, and our individual personal health.
