0:00.0 | Well, hello there. My name is Morgan Harper-Nichols. I'm an artist and a writer, and this is a space where I share words that I hope can make a little room for you to slow down and take a few deep breaths as you prepare for whatever lies ahead. Thanks for being here today. And now on to today's episode. Today's episode is inspired by a painting of |
0:29.9 | mind that features a bright orange sun in the phrase, let every day be what it needs to be, |
0:36.9 | written across the middle. |
0:38.8 | The sunset in this painting blooms and expected shades of orange and yellow, and also in rays of deep green. |
0:47.0 | I painted it this way to represent this simple truth. |
0:51.0 | Every day has its own texture and color, and each day leaves room for its own interpretation. |
0:59.0 | Some days the sun is shining and the weather is fantastic, and yet our emotions don't match what we see |

1:14.3 | In contrast, some days are overcast and rainy, but we feel relaxed and at ease under the clouds. |

2:10.0 | As you travel through the day, I hope you remember this. |
2:13.4 | No matter the messages from the outside world or what you've internalized from its influence, |
2:19.1 | you are not weak for needing rest. You are not weak if you spend the whole day unable to find |
2:26.0 | the energy you were hoping for. You are not a bad person for taking time for yourself. |
2:32.1 | You are not lazy for not being productive 24-7. Just as the sun |
2:38.4 | meets the horizon every evening, you are meant to meet yourself exactly as you are. Let every day be |
