About this episode
Start your day with true, specific affirmations rooted in the present moment and real experience.
0:00
Your feet are on the floor.
0:02
That’s it.
0:02
That’s the first truth of the day.
0:05
Before the coffee, before the email, before the list of things you think you have to be… you are simply a person with your feet on the floor.
0:16
Feel that.
0:17
The solid ground beneath you.
0:20
That’s not a metaphor.
0:21
It’s a fact.
0:22
And it’s the only one you need to start.
0:26
You are here.
0:27
Present.
0:27
Accounted for.
0:28
That’s the first victory.
0:30
Now for the second one.
0:32
This one requires a little more from you.
0:35
I want you to think of a time you were absolutely certain you were done.
0:41
Finished.
0:42
A time the floor gave out and you were in a free fall.
0:46
A failure, a heartbreak, a diagnosis… you know the one.
0:51
Don’t just remember it as a story.
0:53
Go back.
0:54
Feel the weight of it for just a second.
0:57
Remember the person who thought they couldn’t possibly take another step.
1:03
Now, look around the room you’re in right now.
1:07
The person who survived that is the person who is breathing in this room.
1:13
That’s not an affirmation.
1:15
That is your own personal, documented history.
1:18
You have empirical evidence that you can survive the impossible.
1:23
You have the receipts.
1:25
So when your brain starts telling you that today is the day it all comes apart, you can quietly, confidently show it the data.
1:35
You’ve been through fire.
1:37
Today...
1:38
today is just Tuesday.
1:40
The strength you’re looking for isn’t something you need to build.
1:45
It’s something you need to remember.
1:48
It’s already in your cells.
1:50
It’s your own lived-in, hard-won truth.
1:53
And that brings us to the final thing.
1:56
The most important one, maybe.
1:59
You are not required to be perfect today.
2:02
Let me say that again.
2:04
You are not required to be perfect today.
2:07
Your job is not to get everything right.
2:10
Your job is not to be flawless, or brilliant, or to have all the answers.
2:16
That pressure you feel?
2:18
That’s a ghost.
2:19
It’s a story you made up to protect yourself, to keep you from trying things where the outcome isn’t guaranteed.
2:28
But you don’t need that story anymore.
2:31
Your only job today is to be present.
2:34
To show up.
2:35
To put one foot in front of the other, just like you did when you got out of bed.
2:41
If you get it wrong, you’ll fix it.
2:44
If you stumble, you’ll get back up.
2:47
You know this because you’ve done it before.
2:50
We just went over the evidence.
2:53
The goal isn’t a perfect performance.
2:56
The goal is to stay in the room.
2:58
The goal is to keep your feet on the floor, even when it shakes.
3:04
Forget the slogans on coffee mugs.
3:06
Forget the posters of eagles soaring over mountains.
3:10
Your strength isn't a borrowed idea.
3:13
It’s in the feeling of the floor under your feet.
3:17
It’s in the scars you’ve already earned.
3:20
It’s in the quiet permission you give yourself to be human.
3:25
You have what you need.
3:27
You are what you need.
3:29
Now go start your day.
