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.
