Amber's Rant:

This is #3 of 52 episodes for 2022! The weather here is better than it was – hopefully it has lightened for a few people out there as well!

I wanted to mention to everyone that although we have all just seen our families over the holidays, it's important to remember that you don't need a holiday to go and visit your family, or at least call them. Family and friends are an important part of our mental and emotional health, and we seem to always forget that when we get busy.

Also, all the social media – it's really not an important part of our mental health. Actually, too much of it tends to damage our mental health. Sometimes, it's okay to just be bored! Boredom is when the best ideas come up on you! My recommendation this week is to let yourself get bored!

Rinse and repeat as often as needed.
