Well, we are at the end of January. And I often hear this comment that they just can't wait for spring or summer to get here, because a lot of us don't really like the cold weather. And that's because there's something about it that just doesn't really feel heartwarming. And it's just whether we don't like, and I suppose there's nothing wrong with that, especially if you're raised in warmer weather. Now I'm in the Midwest. And that means that we get cold weather and warm weather depending on which is coming from the north, or what is coming from the south. So our weather is really not really consistent, even though we are in the Midwest, but we have a lot of winter, and we have a lot of hot summers. However, if you started thinking about how life is similar to that, there are times in life when it is just wintertime, you know, like nothing seems to be happening. Like there's this idea that you can't get things accomplished, or it's hard to get out of bed, or you just don't feel motivated to exercise or to eat right, or even just a, I don't know, call a friend to spend time with someone to do something that's enjoyable. That's not unusual during this winter time. And it's really, actually pretty normal, I believe, because we really don't like cold as a rule. Now, here's something I'd like you to be thinking about. If your life is like that, if you have periods of time when it's really difficult for you is because typically, there's something going on that we don't really recognize on the inside of us. And that can be very difficult. One of the things that I found that works really well for me is to spend time talking to someone about what I'm thinking about, did you know that if you are openly expressing the thoughts that are on the inside of you, that kind of releases that energy, now can be just a short conversation, 20 minutes or less. But if you truly talk about the things that are in the on the inside of you, it really helps clear up some of that negative thinking. And it helps also us become more motivated. Now that you need to be talking about the negative embed stuff that's happening in your world, but it's talking about how you're experiencing it. And then if you are talking to someone who isn't talking to you, or they're not giving you feedback, they're just letting you talk. That is the best way because when you are expressing what you truly feel without someone either interrupting you, or telling you what they're thinking it really helps a lot. So be a great listener to someone and also tell someone what's really happening on the inside of you and see if you notice the difference. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.
