How will these 8 reminders help me feel less exhausted and more present?
Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. Hey, it's Mel. I am so happy that you're here with me today. And here's why. I know by the time that you're done listening and we're done spending time together, you're just gonna feel a lot better. And I can say that because there is a particular word that I keep seeing in the emails that your fellow listeners are sending. I see this in the polls that we do online on social media. I'm seeing it in comments. And that word that I keep seeing exhaustion. You've been caring too much, thinking too much, worrying too much, and you're tired. The kind of tiredness that comes from taking care of everyone else while trying to be okay for everyone, trying to stay on top of everything, trying to fix what you can't fix, and holding yourself to some invisible standard like you're supposed to have it all handled.
Let me share a lesson with you that I personally have to keep on relearning. You don't have to earn rest. You don't have to earn peace. These are not luxury items. You don't have to have everything figured out to take better care of yourself. Sometimes you just need a simple reminder. So today I have eight simple reminders for you. Now these are eight simple things I say to myself all the time. Eight simple reminders that will hold you up when your mind starts spinning. Words that will calm you down. And you're going to love this because it's almost like I knew this. I just needed to be reminded that one small next step, just that little thing can make me feel like, okay, okay, I can do today. Because the fact is you can do today.
And with these eight simple reminders, holy cow, you're not only going to do today, you're going to feel so much better by the end of it.
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 listener or you're here because somebody shared this particular episode with you, I just wanna take a moment and personally welcome you to the Mel Robbins Podcast family. Today, I'm sharing eight simple reminders that make life easier. These are eight quotes that I've shared online. These are eight reminders that I repeat to myself. But when I shared them online recently, you loved them so much. It was like heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, share, share, share, share, share, save, save, save, save, save, comment, comment, comment.
So here's what I thought. I thought, I think I should take these eight reminders that I love and that you clearly love and just take a moment and break them down one by one. Because these eight reminders are the kind of things that you can come back to when your brain is loud, when life feels heavy, when you just need someone to say something that's going to make you feel a little bit better. Because let me tell you something. The world is not designed to keep you calm. The world is designed to do something different. It's designed to keep you going, to react, to scroll, compare, overthink, to take everything personally, to give your energy away all day long. And if that's been you lately, welcome.
I feel like that's been all of us lately. And I want you to know that by hitting play on this episode, you are in the exact right place because stress has been running you into the ground lately and it's exhausting you. So today you and I are going to interrupt that spiral. And as I share these eight reminders, here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna start to feel the weight lift. You're gonna start to feel like, okay, I can handle today. I am capable of facing what I'm dealing with in my life. And this is gonna happen whether you're listening on a walk or you're driving to work, or maybe you're hiding in the bathroom for five minutes of quiet, or you're laying in bed wondering why you feel so exhausted.
You can just let all that go. I got you, okay? Your friend Mel Robbins has got you. All right, let's jump in and start with reminder number one.
