you can feel people's energy on you.

So you have to actually try to remove it.

And honestly, the other really very matter of fact way of getting people off of you, that's the way I put it, is getting people off of you is to get in the shower and really scrub, like use a washcloth and scrub yourself and just cleanse the outer layer of your skin, of all the nerves that are on top of the skin.

And just like,

Release them.

And that obviously we all know that taking a hot shower at the end of the day just feels so great, but it feels great for more than one reason.

You're yes, I'm clean.

And yes, you know, it is getting off anything that you may have taken in.

I'm a very late night owl.

So that would be like going to sleep in the morning.

The thing is, too, you could pick up on the other people who you may have spoken to mood.

And what you're doing is basically that's not you.

That's somebody else's mood and you're just wearing it.

So that is also so crucial to acknowledge that if you're grumpy and you're feeling sort of like,

I want to say, you know, even argumentative because you're being defensive because you're almost like you don't want this in you, on you.

And yet there it is.

I mean, I'm glad for you that you figured out I should probably get out of here and just go to sleep and sleep this off, which is definitely healthy.

Crying is also really good.

Yeah.

Listen, I mean, I think about people in the mental health profession who are, you know, from the pandemic, before the pandemic, during and after the pandemic, and certainly obviously still since the pandemic, who are walking around with such heaviness from listening to what their patients are going through.
