Hey, hey, beautiful human. Can I steal five minutes of your time? I have something super important to share with you, but I promise I'll be really quick. You're listening to my weekly bonus episode of Embrace Your Real with me, Julie Labbetter. I'm about to give you a quick tip for building your confidence, honoring your body, and unconditionally loving your authentic self. Stay tuned if you're ready to embrace a real.

Let's get it.

Let's go.

Hello and welcome back to another bonus episode on the Embrace Your A podcast.

I'm so glad that you're here today. I want to just have a heart to heart with you about something that doesn't get talked about enough. Those days where nothing goes right and you feel like you're barely holding it together. The days where you wake up with the best intentions, you're going to crush your workout, you're going to hit your macros, you're going to get your work done, you're going to be present with your kids, your family, maybe even meal prep for the week. You got this whole plan in your head and of how kind of the day is going to go. And then just life happens. Maybe your baby was up all night. Maybe work through you a curveball. Maybe you got stuck in traffic, how to fight with your significant other, your family member, whatever it is. You felt just completely drained for no reason that you can pinpoint. The workout didn't happen. You're eating whatever is quick and convenient. You snap at someone you love. You go to bed just feeling like you failed out literally everything. Here's the thing. These days don't just happen once in a while. Sometimes they can happen multiple days in a row. Sometimes it feels like an entire week or month where you're just barely

keeping your head above water. If you've been there or if you're there right now, this episode is

for you. Now, I've talked about self-worth overcoming unrealistic expectations and really

handling setbacks in other episodes. But today I want to share

something a little bit more personal. And these are the three specific reminders I personally

keep coming back to when I feel like I'm just dropping all the balls. Even though I teach this stuff,

even though I know better, I still have those days where I need to remind myself of these truths.

And I have a feeling that if these are the ones

that I come back to over and over again, they might be exactly what you need to hear today as well.

So I'm not going to give you some fluffy, you know, toxic positivity nonsense. Just think positive or

everything happens for a reason. Instead, I'm going to be sharing three real grounding truths that have

helped me the most in those moments where I just feel like I'm failing at everything. Before we dive in,

though, I want to share this review. She gave a five-star review and to Julie is such a calm person

and inspiring. During the school year, I look forward to getting to work early to get my stuff

done and listen to her. Now that it's summer, oh, this is an older one. Now that it's summer, I enjoy her podcast during walks and the car. So thankful for her inspiration and positivity. I'm so grateful for you. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to send in this review, whether you're at work or whether you're just hanging out at home, you're cleaning, you're hanging with your baby, whatever you're doing, you're in the car driving. I love hearing where you guys are tuning in from. So you could scoge over to Apple Podcasts and labor rating an review, and I would love to know where you're tuning in from. So you can just let me know, say, hey, I'm tuning in from, you know, Colorado Springs, Colorado, or I'm here in Charlotte, North Carolina, wherever you are, I would love to know. So you could scoot you over to Apple Podcasts. And first, make sure your subscribes that you never miss an episode. They release on Mondays and Thursdays. And then you can score all the way down and leave that rating interview. And again, just say, hey, I'm listening from so and so and I just

love love love to see that okay let's just dive right into today's episode so thing number one

one hard day one week or one month does not erase your progress and I want to start here because

this is a big one when you have a day where nothing goes according to plan when you you skip your workout, you eat off track, you feel like you're just completely derailing. It's so easy to spiral into this all or nothing thinking. You just start telling yourself, well, I already messed up today, so I might as well just give up for the week. Or I've, you know, I've ruined all my progress, or I'm back at square one, or I'm just never going to reach my goals that I set.
