Hey there, I’m Jenna Edwards and today I share what advice I would give my younger self.  I hope you don’t miss this episode.   

 

Transcript:

 

Hey there, you're listening to Everyday Happiness with Katie Jefcoat. But today I'm taking over. My name is Jenna Edwards, and I've been asked by Katie, “what advice would you give your younger self?”

 

My gosh, what a huge question. But I do have, for me, the best answer, and honestly, “it's find what works for you.” I feel like even now in my older age, there's so much information. There are so many gurus, there's so many how-to and expert advice out there that I'm just like swimming in it.

 

And so in the last few years, I've really come to learn, everybody works differently. Everybody. And you gather all of the advice and then you try it out and you find what works for you.

 

You're going to be so much happier because I spent years, I mean, years, feeling flaky, like I wasn't good enough. I couldn't do the things like, fill in the blanks on the negative self-talk.  Until I figured out, oh, that just doesn't work for me.

 

It doesn't mean I'm a bad person. It doesn't mean I can't accomplish the goal. It just means I haven't found a way to get there that works for me. And so that would honestly be the biggest piece of advice I would give myself when I was younger.

 

I would give it to myself today! Because, I forget all the time. So it's the piece of advice I'd love to give to you. Find what works for you. Don't give up until you do because it's absolutely there. You've been listening to Everyday Happiness where I've taken over for Katie.

 

I'm Jenna Edwards, and I'll talk to you tomorrow since I'm here all week. I hope your day is as happy as it can be.
