Summary

This episode will help you hit reset on the rest of your year and make your life feel like yours again. In today’s personal solo episode, Mel will help you pause, reconnect with yourself, and ask you two powerful questions that can change how you experience the rest of the year. Because somehow, the year is already almost halfway over. And if you’re like most people, you’ve been moving so fast that you haven’t stopped to recognize the hard things you’ve gotten through and the progress you’ve made. If you’ve felt like: …your life feels like one long to-do list …you’re tired, flat, or stuck in the same routine …you need something to look forward to, but don’t even know what that is anymore This episode is your mid-year reset. It’s also a hilarious and intimate catch-up with Mel after 56 days on tour. She answers these questions alongside you and shares never-before-heard, behind-the-scenes stories from the road. Then Mel walks you through two simple questions that will help you pause, take stock of your life, and reconnect with parts of yourself you may have forgotten: These questions force you to stop and give yourself credit for the hard things you got through and the ways you keep showing up even when nobody sees it. They also remind you that life is not just about work, bills, errands, caregiving, laundry, and getting through the day. Life is meant to be lived. In this episode, you’ll learn how to: - Stop measuring your life only by what you haven’t done - Give yourself credit for the progress you keep overlooking - Recognize the hard things you’ve already made it through - Break out of autopilot and the same old routine - Understand why having something to look forward to matters so much - Create more energy, novelty, anticipation, and joy - Put something on the calendar that gives your mind somewhere good to go This episode will help you stop, take a breath, give yourself credit, and create something to look forward to - because if you change nothing, nothing changes.

0:00.0	Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast.
0:08.4	Oh my gosh, I am so excited that you're here. I have been dying to get on this microphone and to catch up with you.
0:15.8	I feel like we have not had the kind of episode where it's just been you and I talking for months. And look,
0:22.5	I just got back from being on tour, holy cow, 56 days, 15 cities, 21 sold out shows,
0:32.1	almost 100,000 of you came who are fans of this podcast. And now I'm back at home in Vermont. I've
0:40.7	slept for like a week to try to recover from being on tour. I'm back above the garage. I'm back on
0:47.2	this microphone. I am so excited to be back here with you. And I was thinking about, okay, what is the
0:52.5	first thing that I want to talk to about? I just really wanted to connect with you. And I was thinking about, okay, what is the first thing that I want to talk to you
0:55.0	about? I just really wanted to connect with you. I mean, here's the thing. Well, I've been on tour.
1:00.2	I know you've been busy. You're busy living your life. I mean, can you believe that this year
1:05.2	is almost halfway over? The time was like, what the heck? So here's what I thought we could do. We could hit the
1:12.9	pause button together, you know, almost like support each other and doing a little reset right now
1:17.7	and help each other take stock of all the things that happened this year. The hard things that you
1:22.8	got yourself through, the progress that you made, the moments that you handled so much better than you used to,
1:29.3	the ways that you keep showing up even when no one else notices. And here's how we're going to do it.
1:34.5	As we kind of go on this little walk and catch up together, I'm just going to throw out two questions
1:40.0	that force you to pause, probably for the first time in months, and questions that help you
1:45.8	reflect on all the things that you've experienced and done so far this year. And then we'll get to
1:52.8	the second question. And the second question I love, because the second question is grounded in
1:57.4	research. And it's also the kind of question that a good friend asks you when you're
2:03.3	going for a walk after a couple months. And that question is, what are you looking forward to?
2:07.6	And there's fascinating research about why this question and having something to look forward to
