Hey guys, it's Rach and it's Sunday, which means a pep talk.

These are short episodes, usually 10 minutes or less, where my intention is just to give you some thoughts, some ideas, some inspiration, to help you start your week with intention.

And if you clicked on this episode today, I'm guessing that maybe you

need a reminder, especially if today finds you feeling messy, if you're overwhelmed, if you're

discouraged or honestly just trying to hold it together. Here's my thought. You're having a bad day, not a bad life.

Look, I don't know what hit you this morning. Maybe it was the news or a work thing or you got in a

fight with your boyfriend or maybe nothing at all happened. just feel the weight of everything i've been there

we've all been there when those kinds of days hit it is so easy to start spiraling especially if your

hormones are involved it is so easy to fall for the lie

that because today feels hard, everything is hard. But really what happened is that one thing went

wrong, but your whole life did not fall off track. That's not the truth. So let's reframe this. You're having a moment.

Maybe you're even having a day, but don't give that moment the power to define your whole life.

You are still showing up. You are still trying. You are still breathing. And that counts for a lot, actually.

You're allowed to have bad days. You're allowed to feel sad or grumpy or cry for no reason. You are allowed to not be okay.

But you are also allowed to keep going. You are allowed to shake it off. You are allowed

to say today sucks, but I still believe in who I am becoming and I'm going to keep going just as soon as I can.

So here's what I want you to do. Something tiny. Drink a glass of water. Text someone who makes you

feel good. Step outside and get some sunshine on your face, get some fresh air, even for just

five minutes. Not that these little things will fix big problems, but they do remind us that we are here. They remind our body

and our nervous system that we're still moving, that the story is not over, and that even if some

parts of life feel hard, not every part of life is hard. You have made it through 100% of your worst days so far. Like you've made it through

them all. That's not a small thing. And this one, this crappy day, it's just a bump on the road
