Hey, hey, welcome to another episode. My name is Sarah Young, and I am your host. This episode is or this podcast. Oh my gosh. I have to be honest. I am in here recording this podcast really quickly. I've got a full week and um it's right around the holidays. I've got family coming in. And I just ran in from a session with a couple gals, and I'm just so pumped and excited that my brain is just, you know, she's just gonna flip off or just do whatever she wants to do. So anyway, welcome to the podcast. My name is Sarah Young, and I'm your host. Uh this podcast is a little bit of everything and um then some. And today's episode is just a little bit different. I am gonna keep it so short. I'd like to keep it right around five minutes. I know. So weird for me. But this episode is something that I need for myself, if I can be completely honest. There isn't a lot, well, there is. There's a lot of internal dialogue. Whether you're uh in the gym, whether you're at work, whether you're raising kids, uh, whatever you do during your 24 hours, there's some internal dialogue letting you know whether you're doing a good job or not, whether it's good or it's bad. Um, and I find that I have had to work so, so, so, so very hard on internal dialogue and how I speak to myself and how I show up and the fact that words actually matter. What you say in your head will somehow come to fruition. If it's all negative, then all you're gonna see is negative, right? There's a uh a story, uh, I don't know the big word for blasie blah. When you buy a red car or you're thinking about buying a red car, all you see is red cars. Uh it's the same thing. So be very mindful with what you say to yourself. And I don't take enough time having conversations with myself that um are just sit down, quiet, let the world melt away a little bit, and just hear some motivational quotes. So that's what we're gonna do today. I'm just gonna read to you a couple uh motivational quotes that come from people that I listen to on a daily basis, uh, people that I've listened to their podcast, people I've bought their books from, things like people that roll in my head time and time again. Some of them are just some things that I've told myself over the years that I've repeated uh to the point where I've had uh clients make t-shirts, um, put the sayings on a cup. Uh the minute everybody got a cricket, which is where you can like cut it out and iron on your clothes and uh put sayings on things, uh, it's gone a little crazy. But the quotes I want to read today are from some people that you may know. Uh Oprah Winfrey is one of them, Mel Robbins, Tony Robbins, uh Brendan Burchard, uh, maybe who's the other one? Vince Lobardi, uh Maya Angelo, uh Walt Disney, Martin Luther King, uh, to name a few. I won't go through after I read each quote what I'm or who said it. Uh, it's something that you can easily Google. Uh, but so here we go. Let's set the scene. I just need you to sit quietly, uh, throw on some classical music, some piano music, some spa music, something very calming, and something that you that will put you in the right frame of mind to accept these quotes as something that you can live by and internalize. So take a few minutes, find some music to throw on. If you don't have it accessible to you right now, that's fine. Come back, do it later, listen to the quotes from me, and then you can add music later. Music is a very specific thing, and what I would put behind the music may not be exactly what you want to put behind uh the the quotes. So pick your own music and then let's begin. Perfection is the lowest standard you can have for yourself. Follow the plan, not your feelings. You can either be about it or bitch about it. Fit is not a size, it's a feeling. Being healthy and fit isn't a punishment, it's a way of life. No one is coming. It is up to you. You would not hang out with people that talk to you the way you talk to yourself. The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is right now. At the end of our lives, we all ask, did I live? Did I love? And did I matter? Don't ask God to do big things in shallow water. It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up. Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better. You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great. The way you get started is to quit talking and begin doing. Sometimes the bravest and most important thing you can do is just show up. You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take that first step. We can't become what we need to be by remaining what we are. Failure is not the opposite of success, it is a stepping stone towards it. And finally, life is tough, my darling, but so are you. There. I hope these quotes can soak in into your soul. I hope you can believe them if you're in a hard spot, if you're in a different difficult spot, even if you're in a great spot, great, calm down, great spot, these are things that you can take with you, good times and or bad, and just listen to over and over again. And like I said, I recorded this so I can go back and listen to these quotes whenever I want to. So do the same. And if you have quotes that you love, say them to yourself, have them on the mirror so you see them every single day. And don't forget to remind yourself that you are so amazing. You are perfectly made. No matter what your faith tells you, no matter if you're a faithful person, no matter if you're into religion or not, just know that you are perfectly made. You are so incredibly perfectly made. And you deserve to have a moment of a pat on the back, a congratulations, or you can do it. It might be tough, but you'll get through it. We all get through it. Alright, you guys. Thanks so much for joining me. And until next time, we'll catch you on the flip side. Bye.
