00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.959
Welcome to Nut Alone, Melissa Sue Methfin.
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.240
Today's episode, I have a very special guest.
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:12.320
She is my daughter, my light, my teacher, Sophia Methfin.
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:13.919
She is here.
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:18.480
And I'm calling this episode is kind of a weekly check-in.
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:25.760
Oftentimes, as parents, we're so busy, so busy work with kids, sporting events.
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:30.239
And what I found in my own healing is finding more stillness.
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:35.520
It's okay to remove things out of my list to do.
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.079
Oftentimes we feel that overwhelm.
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:40.960
And then we're a little short with our kids.
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:42.320
We don't have the patience.
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.359
We're completely exhausted and depleted.
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:51.359
So I've had to learn to how to navigate that, being a single mom of two.
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:58.719
And so what I found is having these check-ins and also being able to say, you know what?
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:00.960
I messed up too.
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:07.920
I mess up as a mother, as an adult, and apologizing to my kids, saying, you know what?
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.840
I didn't say that in very nice tone.
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.519
And I'm really sorry.
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.480
Oh, I didn't control my emotions there.
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.040
And this is not how I should have reacted.
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.200
And this has been really positive, and I don't do it all the time, but I'm still working on it.
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:36.159
So this is kind of a check-in with my daughter, a communication, opening up that space that is so important with uh the relationship with your kids.
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:46.719
Because I find the more that I spend time, for me, I wake up early, at least an hour before my children do, so that I can sit in prayer.
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:56.879
For me, I sit with God, I do some breath work, journaling, meditation, because in that stillness, I can hear clearly.
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:03.680
And that's so important as I lead my life and trusting God's path, the next step.
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:10.639
So if I never find that stillness, just wake up, my alarm, make lunches, get the kids ready, and then the day is gone.
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:16.080
By the time bedtime rolls around, I'm depleted, exhausted, go to sleep, sleep.
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:18.400
So I never have time for God.
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:23.360
So finding that stillness, even if that's a nap, sometimes we feel guilty.
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.439
Oh, I have all this to do.
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:33.599
And just to lay down, we feel guilty because we live in a society, it's like we're trying to keep up, keep up with the neighbor, keep up comparing.
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.240
Oh my gosh, they have accomplished it, accomplished that.
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.120
But actually, you are accomplishing so much in stillness.
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:49.520
That's how you can hear, that's your heart, your purpose, the next level, and you gotta teach that to your kids.
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:57.680
That it's okay to not have plans every single day to fill up your calendar.
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:01.039
It's okay to slow down.
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:09.680
So I have to be mindful what I'm trying to teach my children as well, as they know I have boundaries to have time alone, time and myself.
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:11.360
But it's all balancing act.
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:16.240
Most importantly, is the time that I can spend with each child and connecting.
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:22.560
So today I'm here asking some real raw questions from 11-year-old in her perspective.
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.840
So, welcome, Sophia.
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:42.639
Thank you.
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:49.599
Yeah, I'm so honored, and I know for you, communication, you're such a great communicator, and that's a great outlet.
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:54.000
So today I'd love to just connect with you and check in.
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:54.560
Yes.
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:00.319
Check in on as a mom with their their daughter.
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.560
How can I be there for you?
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.639
Like, what's the best way you feel loved by me?
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:23.040
Um, I I just like how having community, like just it might not even be like going places, maybe just like go swimming in the pool or something like that, like, or like just like watching a show or something like that.
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:26.720
Or if we do go, we could go to like a restaurant and just talk.
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:34.480
That's just like something that I feel that just really resonates with me, and then it like we can just communicate.
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:35.600
Communicate, yeah.
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.279
Just allow for me, probably you want me to listen, right?
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:40.560
What's on your heart?
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:47.600
Yeah, and I feel you are very open with me, and I love that you tell me everything, right?
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:49.439
Yeah, I hope so.
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:52.720
I come home from school, I'm like, guess what just happened?
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.000
Like, I tell you all the drama, spill the tea.
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:01.120
And then what's on your heart, and I really honor that, and I hope we always have that.
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:09.120
That you can you're not afraid to tell me anything, even the good, the bad, because I want you to know that I'm always gonna be there for you.
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:10.959
Yes, and there's no judgment.
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:17.040
Yeah, and um, so I have a few questions that I know that this okay.
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.399
So, what are little ways I can show up for you more?
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:30.000
Like when you're having a hard day, like how how can I really show up with you?
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:32.720
Sometimes coming for lunch is kind of fun.
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:36.000
Like at school, I just get to sit outside with you and just chat.
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.199
That's really fun.
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:44.639
Or like come homing, come home from school, and there's just like we can go swimming, like, oh, let's go do an activity together.
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:52.639
Sometimes I'm like, no, I don't want to go for a bike ride, but like um, I definitely love swimming, so like swimming is a big thing.
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:57.680
Yeah, so maybe more as a parent, kind of doing things that you want to do.
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:04.319
It's because sometimes I'm like, oh, let's go for a hike, let's go for a bike ride, and but that's something I like to do, not so much you.
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.000
I respect that you like to do that.
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:10.240
So sometimes I like to come, but sometimes I'm like, oh, why?
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:17.759
But that's also because I know how much nature is so healing, so that's kind of why I want to do it for you guys too.
00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:24.800
But um even going to like a little, like what is that hike that we went on with the little river?
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:26.879
Oh, up in uh Payson?
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:27.519
In Payson.
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:35.920
In Payson, oh yes, it was like a trail, but then we take a different way and you go up to the river, and there's like raspberries, and there's it's so nice.
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.839
That's was probably my favorite hike.
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.879
Yeah, so I do like those moments together.
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:49.680
Now, as a parent, you know, we get on a get busy and we get kind of overwhelmed at times.
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.360
How does that affect you?
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:58.800
How do you think then because like children like we're like you know how dogs um they take on people's like stress?
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.319
Like if I have tons of stress, my dog will take half of it.
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:11.759
So um it kind of adds like kind of a little stress on me, but then at the same time, I'm just kind of sometimes you can feel it, right?
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.759
I can feel I can feel you're all like you're so stressed, attuned to me, right?
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.120
Yeah, yes, so you can't.
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:25.439
But I feel it, so then it kind of adds on to me, and then like it's like whoa, I need to do this, I need to do this, and then like all rushes through my head.
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:26.480
Yes, yeah.
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.839
So I add my overwhelm onto you, and then it just kind of spirals.
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.759
It just like goes around the whole house.
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:33.680
The whole house, yeah, the whole energy.
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.759
And I have to be so mindful of that, and the reminders too.
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.160
And I do love that you do remind me sometimes.
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.480
You're like, mom, okay, don't be so mean, or that's too much.
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.360
You keep saying all these things, and I'm just getting really overwhelmed.
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:56.160
And I like that kids can, you know, kind of call you out on it because we need that reminder sometimes in a respectful way, of course, you know.
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.959
Sometimes respectful way, yes.
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:13.360
And so, you know, one thing that we love to check in on, you often talk about friendships, you know, and I think as an adult, we still deal with friendships and how we choose our friends.
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:21.120
And so I know this is a topic that's been kind of hard for you, you know, going through different friendships and moving different places.
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.279
So what have you learned since we've been here for three years?
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:26.720
Trying to make new friendships.
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:33.519
Like, tell me how you chose friends when you initially got here to how you choose friends now.
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:42.480
Okay, well, when we first moved here, I feel like with myself, I really am pretty good at making friends.
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:50.639
Like, I show up at a place that I don't even know people, and I'm just like, hey, like I talk to them and like I want to know more about them.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.639
It's like one of those silly questions.
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.240
Like, I always think like how Buddy the Elf and answers the phone.
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:57.600
Hi, what's your favorite color?
00:08:57.840 --> 00:08:59.919
Like, you are a social butterfly.
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:04.480
I like to ask those questions, like, what's your favorite color, favorite animal?
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.559
You're trying to connect with people, yeah.
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.080
And then some people are just like, you don't need to know all this about me.
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.120
But like, I think I have the joy of Buddy the Elf.
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:14.480
I like that.
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:16.000
I do like Buddy the Elf too.
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:22.960
Okay, I I find maybe this is I'm wrong, because you're such a social butterfly.
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:26.799
Sometimes being alone has been uncomfortable, right?
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:32.879
And well, sometimes I feel like I don't have friends, but then like once I show up to school, I'm like, oh, that's my friend.
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:34.480
Wait, no, she's my friend too.
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:45.120
So then like I feel like sometimes I feel like a I tell myself that I don't, but like I do have friends and I have tons of them.
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:45.600
Yes.
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.879
And so it's like and Why do you think you do that?
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.360
Why do you think sometimes you're like, I don't have friends?
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.799
Is it because the friendships that you have you feel are not aligned?
00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:59.200
We don't like clip, like it's like I can hang out with them at school.
00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:20.480
Like it's the difference between school friends and like um friends that like actually like respect you and come to they come and like if you're like same I have a friend that um comes to my comes um and supports me and she uh always does stuff with me and we are like the closest friends.
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:26.639
Yeah, she she supports you, she's your cheerleader, she you know brings out the best in it.
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:33.360
And I can't, but the thing is I always have to remember that I can't just steal all of that from her.
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:35.360
I have to give back too.
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:45.759
Because if she cheers me on and cheers me on and cheers me on, then but for my for me, I sometimes I like to I feel bad.
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:52.639
Like I'm like, oh, I get to do these fun stuff, but then like she can't come sometimes she can't come along, so then I feel bad.
00:10:52.960 --> 00:11:01.279
And I'm like, oh maybe I shouldn't do this, or and but then I know that she will always be happy for me because she is a great friend.
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:06.320
Yeah, so that's important to choose friends that will not be kind of jealous.
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:11.279
You kind of you won't want to put yourself being back to being small.
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:24.000
You have to they will bring out the best in you too, because I find sometimes when you didn't like to be alone, you just want to fill your time with friendships that may not be aligned for you in the most positive way.
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:29.440
When I had I had one friendship that just didn't really work out for me.
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:35.279
There was just some things that just kind of told my like God was just like, hey, maybe a little break.
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:41.360
So I took a break, but then that was like the person I hanged out with a lot before um my friend moved here.
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.919
And um I was like, okay, well, what am I gonna do now?
00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:52.480
Um, so I just went quick and I was like, oh, this person like sh she can come over really quick.
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.879
I can like bike and bike to places with her.
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:05.679
And I just like just wanted to hang out with somebody so bad that like it just like I became somebody that I didn't even know.
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:09.120
Like I just it was like, oh, well, I know I knew it was a little bit more.
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:27.360
But at the same time, what we have to learn as adults, and when we see that there's a falling out in a relationship, instead of having those hard conversations, say, hey, I'm feeling a little there's something off, or there's having those hard conversations.
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.200
I know myself, I just retreat.
00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:30.799
I'm like, ooh, conflict, conflict.
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:31.840
I kind of retreat.
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.840
I'm like, I just won't text, I won't call.
00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:40.000
Like, leave the whole relationship, but that's not the right way to go about it.
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:42.720
Yeah, God wants us to communicate.
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.600
Communicate, shine them love.
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:52.960
And oftentimes it's hard to sit and have those conversations because you you think it's gonna hurt them.
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.240
And but you have to understand it's your boundaries.
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:07.840
Like if they keep passing your boundaries, you have to have a point that you're just saying, hey, I don't but you can't just say get mad at them for doing it because they don't even know what they're doing is wrong.
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.639
Even if you think they do, they might not.
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:17.279
So you have to go to them and say, Hey, I don't really like what you're doing, and explain to them what that is.
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:24.240
And then and if it doesn't work, you just have to tell them, hey, like it just doesn't align with me.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:30.799
So I just want a little break, like just like two weeks or something like that, and then maybe we can reflect on this and then come back.
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:32.879
Yeah, or maybe, yeah, reflect on it.
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:37.519
But in that reflection, how cool would it be if you're like both let's just pray on it?
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:58.000
Yeah, let's both each pray to each other to allow more love in, send in love to each other, and then meet back again and sit together and talk over it, saying how we can mend this relationship, or just and if it's uh you know, if there's a growth period together, then great.
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.519
And if it's okay, we need a little bit more space, but always just praying with love for them.
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:04.559
I think that's really important.
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:33.120
How you explain it to me is when um we we pray for them, and when we always like like when you're having difficulties with a friend or even like a family member, it can be anybody, you have to like you pray for them and imagine them like in that situation, like if you didn't know what you were doing wrong, what would you do?
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:42.000
Like you have to you have to do something and uh something that I saw um W, I think it was it was what would Jesus do?
00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:47.200
And then it was like in like a shorter version, like W W Yeah, exactly.
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.360
So if we always ask, what would Jesus do?
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:50.720
How would he handle this?
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:52.159
And it's always with love.
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:52.879
Yeah, right?
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:53.679
Love always heals.
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:54.480
Yes, yeah.
00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:54.960
Yes.
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.200
And so going with a loving heart.
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:04.240
So I think that's just one thing that you need that people uh normally don't do.
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:07.519
They just want to ghost them and just say, like, hey, I just don't like this.
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.480
Like they won't even like talk to them, I'd just say, we're not friends anymore.
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.120
Like Yeah.
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.919
And do you find sometimes the conflict probably happens with our own expectations of our friends?
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:17.039
Because then right?
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:23.039
We might say, like, okay, um, I want her to do this and this and this, but then that's not them.
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:36.159
You have to make sure that they know that you they want they want you want them to know that you can you always want to be their friend and that you want to hold on to that friendship and never let it go.
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:48.240
And that you will respect them and you will have um friendship with them and that you that you can just like talk to them about anything and that you can be f like open.
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:48.879
Yes.
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:54.240
And I think communication, sending them love, and I love the thing, like every kid should do this.
00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:55.279
What would Jesus do?
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:55.679
Right?
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:56.879
So lead more with that.
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:04.080
Okay, so talking about since we're talking about God, okay, when you pray, what do you usually talk to God about?
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:12.240
Probably about like just like like on my daily prayer, like just to give me protection and and forgiveness.
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:18.960
And probably I usually say just like to like bless the food that I eat.
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:25.039
Like how my mom tells me every single time that I eat, she's like, We should bless the food that we eat.
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:26.639
Like she's in the kitchen.
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:32.559
It's important to bless our food because it brings in light, and thank God that we have this beautiful food.
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:40.000
Just like yesterday, I was eating my mac and cheese very peacefully, peacefully with my friend, and she goes, Bless the food, wait, what's the food?
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:44.000
And I'm like, Okay, mom, I already took a bite, it's good.
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:51.039
Okay, and also I've been trying to incorporate uh a new kind of start of the morning.
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.759
You know, I I I like to start new turgen.
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:58.080
I don't like, you know, TV, tablet, because we're on break right now.
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:05.599
So I for me, I like my spiritual practice at least an hour in the morning is so important.
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.839
And so it is for my kids too.
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:16.799
So I now told them, I've asked them just to get up and first thing they do, open the Bible, whatever page is calling them, and read, read a verse.
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:21.039
You know, bring in God, or they could just sit in prayer or just sit outside.
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:31.039
Just like some things that we do at my school, like um, we well, we used to do it in like fourth grade, and we did some of it in fifth grade, but um memorizing verses.
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:32.480
That's what we used to do.
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.000
Well, what was your favorite one?
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:35.759
You said it in the car on the way here.
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:42.960
Um okay, so my favorite vo verse is um Matthew 5, 16.
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:55.279
It says, Um, Jesus tells his followers, in the same way, let your light shine before others that they may see your good deeds and glorify the Father in heaven.
00:17:55.599 --> 00:18:04.960
Yeah, I like that because I always think about you, Sophia, and a lot of people, you are such a light, and I feel you are such a giver and giver and giver.
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:14.240
How I got that verse is very fun because um my teacher in fifth grade, she um was like the best teacher ever.
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:16.160
But I have a lot of my favorite teachers.
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:30.400
I have one in Alaska, and um she was like the best teacher, and then I have my fourth grade teacher and my fifth grade teacher, but my fifth grade teacher, she had bees all over the room, yellow, and was very happy.
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:40.880
And um she had this um this on her wall, she had it said uh it said Matthew 5 16, it said, Let your light shine.
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:46.880
And we would listen to this one song, your um let your light shine, or like light shine bright or something like that.
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:53.440
Yeah, it was light shine bright, and it was one thing it would um that I confused me for a little bit.
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:57.279
It said like third let this we should make this third rock glow.
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:09.759
But um she told us about it at the end of the year, which means the third rock is Earth, the third um like planet, um, and we want to make it shine with God's glory and God's light.
00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:18.240
And so, um and we want to be the salt in because if ever you want to be the salt in the earth, the different like person.
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:29.759
Because everyone, let's just say everyone's like the same, just all sugar, but then you want to be that one speck of salt that can change the whole thing just to like spread it around.
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:31.119
Spread around, shine your light.
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.039
Add a little more taste to the food.
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:36.960
I like that, and you definitely are, and you are such a light.
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:38.559
But what do I say also to you?
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:39.839
Because some remember you called me.
00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:44.079
I was gone for a week, and you were having a really hard time.
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:46.240
And so we talked in it.
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:50.000
I think you give and give and give and give, and then you but you need a little break.
00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:50.240
Yeah.
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:51.759
Well, you give back to yourself.
00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:54.160
Parents should sometimes for school.
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:57.839
I understand some kids are like, there's a test today, we have to fake, like, we're sick.
00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.319
Like, come on, like, I'm sick.
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:12.000
But um, I I think if you can actually tell that they're not feeling that great, you just have to say, like, okay, let's just take a break, and today we can just like let's do something.
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:17.599
I call you a mental health day because you were really kind of needed to fill up your own bucket.
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.319
So I asked you, what brings you joy?
00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.599
Like, what will fill you?
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:23.119
And you said coloring.
