Reassurance After a Long Day

Transcript

If you've had a long day, you're going through it, things have been rough, it's been difficult, nothing feels right, I want you to sit and listen for the next minute or two. And just breathe with me while I talk. In.

And out. There you go. And try to keep that pace going, alright? I'll jump in every once in a while and help you out.

But we didn't come here to talk about breathing, did we? We came here to talk about you. And how glad I am that you made it through your day, even if it was difficult.

I know you went out there and gave it your best. You may have come up against some obstacles. Some of them may have been easy enough to clear away in a day, some of them may take a little bit more time.

And there's not a problem with either one of those. Because I know you're going to get through it. And I know you're going to be on to big, amazing things.

There are lots of little setbacks during the day. Lots of things that come up and happen that are frustrating, annoying, can derail the day. But skip ahead with me a little bit.

Five minutes, ten minutes, a half hour, an hour. Later on tonight, when you're lying in bed, thinking about your day, or listening to your music, or doing whatever it is that makes you happy and restful and comfortable. That all those things you did through the day are things you have now made it through.

You are stronger than them. You're stronger than the things that tried to keep you back today. You are stronger than the things that tried to hold you down or get in your way.

And you did not let them. And that is the important part. We get to the end of our days and they're frustrating sometimes.

And we don't feel good. Because we've been through it. And it can be a slog.

But we made it through it together, didn't we? You did. I did.

And we will continue to. Because that is what we do. We go out.

We give our 100%. We take things as they are. We ask for help when we need it.

And we're very appreciative when we get it. So on those long days, on the ones that don't feel like they're going to end and the clock is ticking ever so slowly. This is your reminder that everything is going to be okay.

You may have some difficult circumstances and situations. I certainly can't promise you ease every moment of the day. But I can promise that you will make it through if you keep pushing.

And I will be right there at the finish line cheering you on. Because you're going to make it through today just like you did yesterday. With the same strength that you're going to take into tomorrow.

And I can't wait to see what you do. And I can't wait to hear all about it. But for now, how about a couple more breaths? In.

And out. One more with me. Big one.

Hold it in. In. And out.

Excellent job. You're doing so good. Keep it up.

You got this.
