Good morning and

welcome to Morning Syria.

Okay, good morning and

welcome to Wednesday.

All right, today's

special day is for the boys.

All right, ladies, no doubt

your day is coming as well,

but today is National Sun's Day.

So if you have a son or you are a son,

today is a sweet reminder

to celebrate the boys who,

yes, sometimes we leave

wet towels on the floor,

but steal your entire heart anyways.

Well, happy son's day to my two boys.

All right, and the answer to

yesterday's trivia question,

351,491,996.

That's how many tickets were sold

for the Avengers Endgame worldwide.

All right, now the central vitamins in

your morning cereal.

Today's quote is from the late and

legendary Catherine O'Hara,

who once said, quote,

"Insecurity is such a

waste of time," end quote.

Now, the morning decode

here, the energy, the anxiety,

and the mental effort

that you are spending

worrying about inadequacy or perfection

or other people's

opinion is much better used

on actually living and

creating and enjoying your life.

All right, well, let's go

in here from the experts now.

It's time to pour in some

let them theory by Mel Robbins.

And today is part two of chapter 21.

Your let me era is here.

So in the second half of this,

Mel shifts from awareness to action.

And she explains that once you decide

to step into your let me era,

you feel resistance,

internal and external.

People may not like the new

boundaries you're setting.

You may feel some guilt.

She writes, quote, "Guilt is a sign

you're changing patterns," end quote.

Now, that line, it reframes everything

and Mel outlines how let

me become a daily practice.

Let me say no, let me

apply, let me rest, let me leave,

let me begin again.

She emphasizes this, quote,

"You are allowed to want

what you want," end quote.

Not what's practical, not what's

impressive, what's true,

okay, there is an honesty here

that feels kind of

grown up in the best way.

She encourages

readers to audit their lives

and ask, where am I shrinking?

Where am I performing?

And the let me era isn't dramatic, it's

steady, it's subtle,

it's choosing alignment over approval.

And perhaps the most

powerful reminder is this, quote,

"You don't need to justify your

evolution," end quote.

This section, it feels

like a permission slip

for adulthood, right, the real kind,

the kind where you stop

blaming and you start building.

All right, your hump day takeaway is

protect your energy,

honor your wants and let yourself become

who you're meant to be.

So today, celebrate the suns in your life

and attack your Wednesday with humor

and a little bit of courage.

Now the prize from the

bottom of the cereal box,

the morning cereal trivia

question of the day, here it is.

What is the term for racial

separation in South Africa?

All right, hey, thanks for listening to

morning cereal today.

We will see you back here tomorrow

for the answer to the trivia question

and for more sugar for your soul.

And until then, have a fantastic day.
