This is your pep talk. I am so excited to do this bonus episode because so many people tell me that they listen back to certain episodes when they need a refresh or they just need to hear it again. And I love this and that means so much to me. That's what it's all about. So I thought I would do an episode dedicated to a pep talk. So this is for you on those

days when you're just having one of those days. While the situation can vary and your emotions

can be different, the bottom line is you're having a day and you need a pep talk and that's exactly

what this episode is. Let's go. You're listening

to the How to Be Awesome at Everything podcast where we're obsessed with life hacks that make

your life more awesome. Your host, Lindsay Dick Hout, is an entrepreneur and business owner,

a mom and wife, and someone who wants to do things over the top at all times.

This concept started as a collection of things Lindsay has learned that she was documenting

to give to her kids one day. And now it's a podcast. Join us on this journey where we talk about

how to be awesome at everything we do. Here's Lindsay. All right, team, it's pep talk time. Whatever is happening in this

moment is not going to define our day, our week, our month. We are going to process it and deal with it

and let it be a bad moment or a frustrating moment or an annoying moment or a depressing moment, but we're

not let it going to completely turn into a bad day or a bad week or a bad month. First, I think

you should feel how you feel. Feel all the feelings. Don't try to push it down or ignore it or drink your way through it

or zone out on TV or get depressed and just like let yourself soak in it and feel sorry for

yourself do what you need to do but I think that what we need to do

is first, let's process it and feel all the feelings and do what you need to do. Is that cry,

is that scream, is that, you know, journal how you feel. Whatever that is, feel the feelings. Because I think that's where clarity comes

and forgiveness and growth and, you know, accepting that I'm sorry or saying the I'm sorry. You have to

feel the emotions. You know what I mean? Like let yourself feel. Don't try to suppress and don't try to

do something like go over drink or over shop or, you know, just mute your life in someone or take

drugs or something that just makes you zone out and not deal with it. We're going to deal with it.
