So if you've made it this far, thank you for sticking around.

You have made it to our secret part of the episode where I give you an emoji to comment below to prove that you made it to the end.

Our emoji for today is a little cloud.

I think that's a nice rest symbol.

I appreciate you listening to the whole episode.

I hope the message rings loud and clear in your mind the next time you want to take a day off, the next time you find yourself sitting on the couch with nothing to do.

Here is your permission slip.

You are allowed to do that.

As always, thank you to our researcher Libby Colbert for her contributions to this episode.

She is incredible.

And until next time, stay safe, be kind, be gentle to yourself.

We will talk very, very soon.
