Hey it's Ben,
Merry Christmas (Yes, it's still Christmas, there are actually 12 days of it despite what Walmart tells you).
I know the days in-between Christmas and New Years can be weird...
For some they are wonderful for others maybe you feel lonely or a bit lost...
Maybe like you feel you "should" be happy but you are not...
Maybe like you "should" be doing something but you don't know what that is...
Combine this uncertainty with some extra food and booze and you are "teed up" for some real brain frog and mental instability.
I've been there too many times myself in the past.
Food, booze and daily structure have a MASSIVE impact on my mental health and it took me years to realize how just a few too many drinks and some bad eating could bring on a feeling of legit DOOM and depression at the time when I was "supposed" to be happy and jolly.
Hopefully most of you do not get this but I know a few of you will relate.
So I just wanted to send this email to say hang in there, it makes sense if you feel a bit off.

Go for a walk, breath some fresh air, eat a steak.. it's going to be ok.
We are gonna get it all back on track (more on that soon).
That said I hope that most of you are feeling great and having a blessed and fun time with family and friends.
This might seem like a "downer email" but I know those of you who are doing well won't mind and those of you aren't might like a word of encouragement.
Ok that's all, more exciting stuff coming soon,
Happy new year and much love to you all,
Ben
