Summary

My tips for navigating a hard day

  1. Have a framework / guidance system / non-negotiables for your hard days
  2. Adjust your targets / expectations for hard days 
  3. Fuel yourself properly (nutrition + hydration) 
  4. Move your body (yoga!)

Questions to ask yourself:

  1. Will this help nourish my body/mind/soul?
  2. How can I love myself through my choices right now?

Release:

  1. Expectations, shame, judgement of self
  2. stories about the emotions
  3. the desire to ignore / distract / numb (no doomsday scrolling, swiping, or intaking substances). 

Here was my exact day:

processing emotions/ shadow work, solo computer work (releasing expectations to film/ record etc), went for a walk w a friend, hot yoga class with another friend, attended breathwork & meditation class at night, went to bed early.... Hard days don't stop coming, we just get better at navigating them. Simply encourage yourself to simply make better choices next time. 

Reminder:

You are NOT alone in how you feel or in your experience. 

This WILL pass.

A better day is ahead for you.

I love you.

0:19.7

for Instagram and other social platforms.

0:22.8

And I was just feeling really frustrated.

0:24.7

And I was feeling frustrated because the short form content is so difficult for me,

0:31.9

especially when I'm seeking to speak and share a message.

0:36.1

I hate having to try to fit it into 60 seconds or 90 seconds.

0:41.4

You know, like I really just desire, I think it's just that I desire depth and that doesn't

0:47.3

represent depth. That doesn't represent depth to me. So I just figured, I was like, well,

0:54.1

why don't I just pick up my podcast and chat to them?

0:56.5

Maybe I just need to get some things out and then I can do some short form content. Maybe

1:00.5

that'll help. So hi, how are you guys? I miss you so much. Part of me hopes you miss me too.

1:08.8

So you guys know podcast equipment was stolen and then I came back on my phone, and now I've

1:15.5

been on a break.

equipment is being ordered slash has been ordered, meaning the amazing and incredible podcast that you

1:29.9

guys have previously known is coming back. The in-person video format incredible guests,

1:37.0

really high quality is coming back. It's on its way. So I wanted to just mention that to you
