0:00.0	Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast.
0:09.0	Hey, it's Mel. I am so happy that you're here with me today. And here's why. I know by the time
0:17.1	that you're done listening and we're done spending time together, you're just going to feel
0:21.0	a lot better. And I can say that because there is a particular word that I keep seeing in the
0:26.9	emails that your fellow listeners are sending. I see this in the polls that we do online on social
0:31.9	media. I'm seeing it in comments. And that word that I keep seeing, exhaustion. You've been carrying too much, thinking too much,
0:40.0	worrying too much, and you're tired. The kind of tiredness that comes from taking care of everyone
0:45.9	else while trying to be okay for everyone, trying to stay on top of everything, trying to fix what

0:54.2	invisible standard like you're supposed to have it all handled. Let me share a lesson with you that I

1:28.7	reminders that will hold you up when your mind starts spinning. Words that will calm you down.
1:34.6	And you're going to love this because it's almost like I knew this. I just needed to be reminded
1:40.7	that one small next step, just that little thing can make me feel like, okay,
1:47.5	okay, I can do today. Because the fact is, you can do today. And with these eight simple reminders,
1:54.9	holy cow, you're not only going to do today, you're going to feel so much better by the end of it.
2:19.4	Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. I am so excited that you're here with me today. It's such an honor to be together and to spend this time with you. If you're a new
2:23.5	listener or you're here because somebody shared this particular episode with you, I just want to
