00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:15,441
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning.

2
00:00:15,681 --> 00:00:19,921
Speaker 2: I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your morning Mantra. Many of

3
00:00:20,001 --> 00:00:24,201
Speaker 2: us are aiming to live longer, designing our workouts, our diets,

4
00:00:24,561 --> 00:00:29,961
Speaker 2: our lifestyles to prolong our lives. Today's meditation explores the

5
00:00:30,041 --> 00:00:32,361
Speaker 2: quality of life that we want to live long. For

6
00:00:34,361 --> 00:00:45,561
Speaker 2: your mourning mantra, living miserably or joyfully is a choice.

7
00:00:46,241 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: Let's begin if it's safe to do so. Close your

8
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:59,521
Speaker 3: eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears,

9
00:01:00,921 --> 00:01:08,601
Speaker 3: relax your jaw, relax yours down, and bring your attention

10
00:01:09,721 --> 00:01:18,121
Speaker 3: to your breath, bringing your attention to the crown of

11
00:01:18,161 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: your head. Many of us wish for long and happy

12
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:32,801
Speaker 3: lives for us and for others, Yet some of us

13
00:01:33,041 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: live each day in misery and complaint. The quality of

14
00:01:40,881 --> 00:01:49,721
Speaker 3: our lives is determined by us. Happiness and joyfulness are

15
00:01:49,841 --> 00:01:56,241
Speaker 3: conscious choices we make. External circumstances.

16
00:01:57,481 --> 00:02:03,721
Speaker 2: Affect us as much as we let them. It is

17
00:02:03,841 --> 00:02:11,561
Speaker 2: human to experience it's feelings and emotions, to have ups

18
00:02:11,601 --> 00:02:12,281
Speaker 2: and downs.

19
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: How we bounce back is up to us. In every moment,

20
00:02:26,001 --> 00:02:26,481
Speaker 1: we can.

21
00:02:26,361 --> 00:02:31,681
Speaker 2: Make a choice that supports us to live happy and

22
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:41,521
Speaker 2: well as well as long. Today's mantra, living miserably or

23
00:02:41,601 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: joyfully is a choice. Repeat to yourself, either out loud

24
00:02:50,841 --> 00:03:02,041
Speaker 2: or in your mind. Living miserably or joyfully is a choice.

26
00:03:09,761 --> 00:03:19,520
