Welcome to the Giddy Up segment

where we are blazing new trails.

2

We're just going to briefly talk about

some things that we learned in Latin and

3

Tuesday's episode, and then we'll talk

a little bit about what's coming up on

4

this coming Tuesday, because we're in

the middle of a series about the five

5

strengths that led to my wellbeing when

I went through something really hard.

6

Which for me, it was breast breast

cancer, but it can be anything

7

hard that you're going through.

8

And those things were strengthening

my relationship with God.

9

It was strengthening my relationship

with people and community.

10

It was strengthening my

relationship with food.

11

And then it was also just strengthening

physically the things that I started

12

doing a little bit different.

13

And, probably the thing that

I'm still working on the most is

14

strengthening the rejuvenation

and the rest that's new to me.

15

So, so we talked about the first three

last week, and I think I just want to.

16

say that when I strengthened my

relationship with God and when I started

17

getting, knowing how to get out into the

community more to kind of let myself be

18

who I am and let people see my authentic

self, it took away that burden of trying

19

to be perfect because I said, I was an

introvert, but I think I was really more.

20

Not wanting people to see my ugly

sides and, that kind of hit slap me

21

in the face going through what I went

through because you're not perfect.

22

And that has become a blessing

and it's still something.

23

That I'm working on.

24

So I'm still working on trying

to let go of wanting people

25

to see me, better than I am.

26

I think just by being authentic and

feeling how good that feels to truly

27

be loved helps you through hard things.

28

And you have to ask for help and

you have to say how you're feeling

29

because talk therapy we know helps you.

30

So those first two things helped me

through a really hard time and then

31

eating right helps you feel better.

32

And I know so many times when we're going

through something hard, we just want to

33

like, Eat the cookies or whatever it is.

34

And I would just say, here's the, the

one thing that if you can just do one

35

little thing to help yourself through

this, I would say maybe switch something.

36

Like if there's a drink that you love,

that's really sugary at Starbucks.

37

Figure out a way to do it without the

sugar and keep doing it without the sugar.

38

If there's a cookie you love,

there's like really good monk fruit.

39

And there are options that you

can find that are sugar free.

40

Just do one little thing.

41

And, and grab onto that you're

able to do that and it will make

42

you feel better so that you can

feel better through something hard.

43

And I'm telling you, I know there

are days when you just have to

44

sit and mourn and that's okay.

45

But all these things that I did did help

me and I still did have the days where I

46

had to sit and mourn But let yourself know

how many days are you gonna give yourself

47

to do that and then pick yourself up?

48

Do your best.

49

Take care of yourself so that you

can feel good and serve the world

50

and the people who really need you.

51

Take good care.

Thanks for being here.
