Have you tried a hug?

Hello Reader, I had a few people reach out to say they were struggling with burn out, so I know this is a hot topic. And if you are dealing with it right now, know that you're not alone. I've continued to research on the topic - I think it might turn into a podcast episode - but here's one take away from today's learning that I hope will help you: If you're struggling with burnout, give your spouse, your significant other, your child, a friend - someone you trust and care about - a good hug. Sound silly? Turns out a good hug goes a long way towards helping you fight burnout. This is mentioned at the 19:41 mark of this video: ER Doctor Teaches How to Overcome Burnout from a Body-Based Perspective w Dr. Laura Hays, MD I challenge you to listen to it all! Over to you: Did you try the hug method? I did. It helped! :) Well, that's it for today! Thank you for reading, and have a great, and calming week. Aaron |

Hello Reader, I am so sore! This past weekend I worked on building a dresser we picked up at IKEA for my kids. I must say that IKEA instruction manuals SUCK. (Sorry if you love IKEA instruction manuals..maybe my mind just doesn't understand them well.) I had to backtrack on my build progress several times because I had not correctly understood the instructions. Backtracking on an IKEA build means unscrewing and pulling apart things you had just screwed and put together. It sucks time and...
Hello Reader, Last Sunday afternoon I went on an hour long road trip to visit my Dad because I didn't get a chance to see him at Christmas. We had a nice time visiting and eating together. He showed me a painting he was working on restoring. Pretty cool! And, as many of you know, I'm an avid podcast listener, so I had my podcast app LOADED with shows to keep my ears and brain busy on the road. I've been looking for new shows to like so many of the episodes I downloaded were brand new. Never...
