00:00:17.728 --> 00:00:19.848
'Habari zenu' (How are you all)?

2
00:00:20.848 --> 00:00:28.128
We've been doing a series of
getting overwhelmed.

3
00:00:29.528 --> 00:00:31.288
And this is the final episode.

4
00:00:32.128 --> 00:00:35.128
And thank you so much for being with me.

5
00:00:35.528 --> 00:00:37.128
I appreciate your comments.

6
00:00:37.928 --> 00:00:41.288
So just follow me on YouTube,
Instagram, and TikTok (etc.).

7
00:00:41.488 --> 00:00:43.968
Just search for Lynda: Rooted&Real
(@LyndaRootedNReal).

8
00:00:44.528 --> 00:00:45.968
I'll totally appreciate it.

9
00:00:48.488 --> 00:00:51.488
So to that person who's
quietly struggling.

10
00:00:53.528 --> 00:00:57.728
And this last episode,
I saved for the most important one:

11
00:01:00.288 --> 00:01:02.888
You don't need a big dramatic comeback.

12
00:01:04.088 --> 00:01:07.648
You don't need to wake up tomorrow
and have your whole life together.

13
00:01:08.608 --> 00:01:12.168
New body, new business,
new mindset, all in one day.

14
00:01:13.208 --> 00:01:19.568
That pressure
is what broke you in the first place.

15
00:01:21.128 --> 00:01:26.528
We just need one,
only one small come back every day.

16
00:01:27.568 --> 00:01:29.008
Healing is not a straight line.

17
00:01:29.048 --> 00:01:30.488
I think we've said this before.

18
00:01:31.048 --> 00:01:35.168
Some days you'll feel better,
some days you'll feel worse again.

19
00:01:36.328 --> 00:01:37.968
That does not mean you've failed.

20
00:01:38.848 --> 00:01:42.648
It means you're human,
and that is what healing looks like.

21
00:01:44.608 --> 00:01:45.928
So let's make it simple.

22
00:01:46.648 --> 00:01:48.688
So simple you cannot fail.

23
00:01:49.768 --> 00:01:52.528
Just do three things every day.

24
00:01:52.648 --> 00:01:57.848
One, move your body for 5 minutes,
not an hour at the gym.

25
00:01:57.968 --> 00:01:58.863
Just 5 minutes.

26
00:01:58.888 --> 00:02:03.688
Stretch, walk to the gate, to the
shop and back, shake your shoulders.

27
00:02:04.648 --> 00:02:06.968
Your body holds your stress.
Let it move.

28
00:02:07.648 --> 00:02:11.728
Two, 5 minutes of sunlight or fresh air.
Go outside.

29
00:02:12.208 --> 00:02:14.343
No phone, just look at the sky.
Breathe.

30
00:02:14.368 --> 00:02:15.848
Let the sun touch your face.

31
00:02:17.488 --> 00:02:20.568
Remember, you're part of this world,
not just watching it from a window.

32
00:02:22.688 --> 00:02:29.488
And the third one, talk to one human
being, a real voice, not just likes.

33
00:02:29.608 --> 00:02:31.048
Say hi to the shopkeeper.

34
00:02:32.088 --> 00:02:36.288
Call your sibling, your parent,
your offspring, your friend.

35
00:02:36.368 --> 00:02:38.928
Voicenote someone.

36
00:02:39.488 --> 00:02:40.528
They also work.

37
00:02:41.288 --> 00:02:44.008
Connection is medicine.

38
00:02:45.528 --> 00:02:47.768
So one, Move.

39
00:02:48.808 --> 00:02:51.808
Two, Sunlight.
Three, One Human.

40
00:02:52.248 --> 00:02:54.768
So if you did those three, you won.

41
00:02:55.168 --> 00:02:57.048
That is your comeback for today.

42
00:02:58.288 --> 00:02:59.088
Look at you...

43
00:03:00.608 --> 00:03:03.688
We started this series feeling
overwhelmed, maybe empty.

44
00:03:04.568 --> 00:03:06.288
We've made it to the fifth episode.

45
00:03:07.128 --> 00:03:12.048
You listened, you breathed,
and you stayed on with me.

46
00:03:12.208 --> 00:03:13.328
That is not small.

47
00:03:14.408 --> 00:03:16.848
That is brave.

48
00:03:17.488 --> 00:03:18.463
Save this series.

49
00:03:18.488 --> 00:03:22.208
Come back to it on heavy days and share it
because I promise you,

50
00:03:23.648 --> 00:03:29.463
someone on your timeline will be smiling
because they were also quietly

51
00:03:29.488 --> 00:03:31.048
struggling just like you were.

52
00:03:31.688 --> 00:03:34.688
You've survived 100% of your worst days.

53
00:03:35.928 --> 00:03:37.168
Your story is not over.

54
00:03:37.728 --> 00:03:41.848
It's just getting softer.

55
00:03:42.768 --> 00:03:45.568
So just remember, you're never alone.

56
00:03:47.008 --> 00:03:53.728
There's someone out there who's going
through exactly or even worse than you.

57
00:03:54.368 --> 00:03:58.583
And still, there's someone out there who
got over what we're all

58
00:03:58.608 --> 00:03:59.768
going through right now.

59
00:03:59.928 --> 00:04:00.968
Let's not give up.

60
00:04:01.888 --> 00:04:09.888
You got this,
and I will always, always get you.
