Good evening, everybody. How are you all doing? Welcome to the show. Hope you're getting through the week,

taking care of yourselves, taking care of those around you because, yes, we are responsible for those

around us. It's called compassion. It's called humanity. Collective care. We need more of that, right?

We're moving away from just worrying about ourselves. Also, how is your mental health doing? Take a moment

and just check in with yourself. Is there anything you need?

Maybe you need to just make room and allow whatever emotions you are feeling and always

reminding yourself that just because you're thinking something or feeling something, we

don't have to have behavior dependent.

I'm sorry, we don't have to have mood dependent behavior, which means it's okay to feel bad or sad or

whatever it is and still go through the day in the ways that you need to. In fact, mental health is

making room for all of our different emotions, but instead of being guided by them because

they'll often lead us astray, and often our emotions might be a little amplified or negatively

skewed, our thinking often not rooted in reality. We want to live and be guided by our values and our ethics.

So again, might be feeling one way or thinking one thing, but guided by our values and ethics.

And that's always going to be more effective action where when we're just guided by our mood, we're going to say things we don't mean.

We're going to take some actions that we can't take back and we're going to feel bad about later and it's often going to keep us very stuck

and as always reminding you to focus today at some point on self-care which means building out

carving some space for joy and pleasure doing something that's rooted in leisure has nothing

more you know nothing productive about it. It's just something that

you enjoy. And then also some form of rest. We're doing 70% max. DMs always open. So if you got a

DM for us, that's a question or topic. Put them in the DMs on our Loveland IG page, which is where

our next quick and dirty topic came from. Someone said, yo, talk again about fair fighting.
