Hi guys, welcome back to the podcast, I hope you guys are doing well today, I hope you guys are all having a great week.

We're talking about something that is kind of also my love of the week and that is what to do when you're just not feeling like yourself, you're feeling like you're in a slump, you're feeling down.

This is the podcast that I would like you to listen to because to be quite honest over the past, I would say a couple weeks or so, this has kind of been me.

And I think there are a bunch of different reasons for this, but I actually asked for some feedback from you guys on things that you guys like to do, things over on Instagram.

I've asked in a poll and then I also just asked for submissions over email and got just some great stories from people and I really want this episode to be encouraging, especially from my viewers and listeners because from my perspective, I'm kind of run and dry.

I feel like I've been through season where sometimes it just gets to a point where I don't really have that much encouragement, I can only share my own experiences and things that I've been doing lately just to kind of feel more like myself.

But I'm obviously still going through it so I don't necessarily have anything to share directly and there's nothing really huge going on.

I'll kind of share my thoughts in a second about why I feel this way and all that, but that is just kind of my love of the week so we'll get that past.

And that's what today's episode is, so I hope you guys enjoy this one.

I hope it's encouraging for you guys as I'm recording this, we're about to head out to go for a little weekend trip with some friends.

I talked to all this in my last episode, but I am so looking forward to this trip because I'm just ready to spend time with friends and have quite a bit of time with friends.

I will say it's weird because whenever we go to Austin, we typically do bring cash, but we're driving to Austin and then we're driving to where we're spending the weekend with our friends, but they all live in Austin so we're meeting them there.

And it's weird because we're not bringing in cash.

I'm just so used to bringing him everywhere and so it's going to be weird this time not bringing him to Austin and just road tripping down to us.

So we're just going to wrap up work.

Aiden has worked till five and I have quite a few things to finish up today.

So lots to do on the agenda, but I'm excited for a weekend. I think I might...

No, actually, I think I do want to post when I'm there.

I might do a little unplugged weekend, but we'll see that's kind of my agenda and something that I'm really looking forward to.

I also wanted to say that I had so much fun last night.

We went and played pickleball with some friends and it was one of those nights where we had gotten there and we started playing at like 8.30

and then afterwards we're like, let's all go get like slurpees at 7.11.
