One Small Comeback Every Single Day

[00:17.73]‘Habari zenu’ (How are you all)?
[00:20.85]We’ve been doing a series of
getting overwhelmed.
[00:29.53]And this is the final episode.
[00:32.13]And thank you so much for being with me.
[00:35.53]I appreciate your comments.
[00:37.93]So just follow me on YouTube,
Instagram, and TikTok (etc.).
[00:41.49]Just search for Lynda: Rooted&Real
(@LyndaRootedNReal).
[00:44.53]I’ll totally appreciate it.
[00:48.49]So to that person who’s
quietly struggling.
[00:53.53]And this last episode,
I saved for the most important one:
[01:00.29]You don’t need a big dramatic comeback.
[01:04.09]You don’t need to wake up tomorrow
and have your whole life together.
[01:08.61]New body, new business,
new mindset, all in one day.
[01:13.21]That pressure
is what broke you in the first place.
[01:21.13]We just need one,
only one small come back every day.
[01:27.57]Healing is not a straight line.
[01:29.05]I think we’ve said this before.
[01:31.05]Some days you’ll feel better,
some days you’ll feel worse again.
[01:36.33]That does not mean you’ve failed.
[01:38.85]It means you’re human,
and that is what healing looks like.
[01:44.61]So let’s make it simple.
[01:46.65]So simple you cannot fail.
[01:49.77]Just do three things every day.
[01:52.65]One, move your body for 5 minutes,
not an hour at the gym.
[01:57.97]Just 5 minutes.
[01:58.89]Stretch, walk to the gate, to the
shop and back, shake your shoulders.
[02:04.65]Your body holds your stress.
Let it move.
[02:07.65]Two, 5 minutes of sunlight or fresh air.
Go outside.
[02:12.21]No phone, just look at the sky.
Breathe.
[02:14.37]Let the sun touch your face.
[02:17.49]Remember, you’re part of this world,
not just watching it from a window.
[02:22.69]And the third one, talk to one human
being, a real voice, not just likes.
[02:29.61]Say hi to the shopkeeper.
[02:32.09]Call your sibling, your parent,
your offspring, your friend.
[02:36.37]Voicenote someone.
[02:39.49]They also work.
[02:41.29]Connection is medicine.
[02:45.53]So one, Move.
[02:48.81]Two, Sunlight.
Three, One Human.
[02:52.25]So if you did those three, you won.
[02:55.17]That is your comeback for today.
[02:58.29]Look at you…
[03:00.61]We started this series feeling
overwhelmed, maybe empty.
[03:04.57]We’ve made it to the fifth episode.
[03:07.13]You listened, you breathed,
and you stayed on with me.
[03:12.21]That is not small.
[03:14.41]That is brave.
[03:17.49]Save this series.
[03:18.49]Come back to it on heavy days and share it
because I promise you,
[03:23.65]someone on your timeline will be smiling
because they were also quietly
[03:29.49]struggling just like you were.
[03:31.69]You’ve survived 100% of your worst days.
[03:35.93]Your story is not over.
[03:37.73]It’s just getting softer.
[03:42.77]So just remember, you’re never alone.
[03:47.01]There’s someone out there who’s going
through exactly or even worse than you.
[03:54.37]And still, there’s someone out there who
got over what we’re all
[03:58.61]going through right now.
[03:59.93]Let’s not give up.
[04:01.89]You got this,
and I will always, always get you.
