enemy when it comes to achieving your goals. It sets
you up for failure, creates anxiety, and leaves you feeling
drained before you even get started. We've all been there, right,

self compassion. Listen, we're all human. There will be days
(02:12):
when you fall off track, when motivation dips or when
life throws a curveball. It's okay. Don't beat yourself up
