Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the show. Got a great show plan for you. We're going to be getting into some relationship stuff. Always trying to save your relationships. We've done lots of shows on that. No big deal. Saving your marriage, saving your relationships you want to say. Circle back, drop deeper into. Always anonymous, always confidential. Helping others. As you're helping yourself.

What a spiel that is. So if you got a question, bam, dropping the DMs, Love Line ad G page.

So before I try to save your marriages and your relationships, just wanted to do my standard weekly

check-in, how are you all doing? How's your mental health doing? Remember,

we're asking ourselves and others, how's your mental health? We're not just saying, how are you? How you been?

That leads people to be like, I'm good. I'm cool. So when we say, how's your mental health? It stops

people in their tracks because the question's different. And again, what we're also doing in that moment is letting them know you're a safe space that you're really interested and it helps you stop and reflect as well so having said that how is your mental health

what might you need more of what might you need less of what boundaries might you need to set what

might you need to take off your schedule or put on your schedule and remember we're doing the joy

calendar we talked about that couple shows back i'm going to keep bringing it up. Basically, it's a thing I just, you know, created and working with patients in my private practice

that were struggling with, realizing they're not finding enough joy and pleasure, there's not

enough rest in their life, they're not spending time with friends. And, you know, it serves two,

two purposes. One, just to look over and reflect and see things written on the calendar and to know

I'm actively participating in my life. But then it's also a way to check in on what your life is

being dominated by. And also, you're actually doing those things. I was explaining this to a new

patient the other day. We use different colors where socials put in one color, things that are just

about ourselves and rest, joy and pleasure in another color. And sometimes on that calendar, which you can print out,

make on your own, go buy something. I just draw it on a piece of paper, just the lines and filled in.

Cheaper, quicker, easier. Calenders are shockingly expensive and they're nothing. It's ridiculous.

Anyway, especially day planners. Those bad boys are real pricey.

And I know that I'm actively participating and socializing. I have the joy of looking over and seeing it.

You can look at the balance. And I tell my clients at the beginning of the week start to fill that bad boy in.
