00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: Approache production. Good morning, I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:18,601 --> 00:00:24,561
Speaker 1: morning mantra. Your time and attention are the most valuable

3
00:00:24,601 --> 00:00:30,481
Speaker 1: things you own. Today's meditation is about treating them like

4
00:00:30,641 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: precious luxury items. Your mourning mantra, who can afford my

5
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: time and attention? Let's begin, If it's safe to do so,

6
00:00:50,641 --> 00:00:56,321
Speaker 1: close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes,

7
00:00:58,001 --> 00:01:07,721
Speaker 1: Relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax shoulders down, and

8
00:01:07,801 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: bring your attention to your breath, drawing your breath down

9
00:01:18,521 --> 00:01:28,641
Speaker 1: into your belly. Our time and attention seem free, readily available,

10
00:01:30,521 --> 00:01:38,601
Speaker 1: and easy to give away, often taken for granted, but

11
00:01:38,761 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: actually our time and attention is a luxury item, the

12
00:01:48,201 --> 00:01:57,321
Speaker 1: most expensive item that we own, beautiful treasures, gems that

13
00:01:57,441 --> 00:02:05,761
Speaker 1: can't be retrieved once they're spent. Consider we're a goes,

14
00:02:09,001 --> 00:02:15,201
Speaker 1: may be scrolling on free socials, which makes money for

15
00:02:15,361 --> 00:02:24,001
Speaker 1: already beyond rich companies. Who and what in our lives

16
00:02:25,441 --> 00:02:31,081
Speaker 1: deserves our time and attention? As is this who receives it?

17
00:02:34,161 --> 00:02:41,761
Speaker 1: Today is an invitation to become aware of your expensive presence,

18
00:02:44,161 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: to be aware of who is receiving it and wondering

19
00:02:50,161 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: if they can afford it, reminding ourselves that our time

20
00:02:59,001 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: and attention are not free, but that others may benefit

21
00:03:05,481 --> 00:03:16,361
Speaker 1: from us. Believing that it is so. Today's mantra, who

22
00:03:16,361 --> 00:03:23,321
Speaker 1: can afford my time and attention? Repeat to yourself, either

23
00:03:23,401 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: out loud or in your mind, who can afford my

24
00:03:30,041 --> 00:03:40,361
Speaker 1: time and attention? Bringing your awareness back to your breath,

25
00:03:43,601 --> 00:03:51,201
Speaker 1: breathing in and out of your heart space. May you

26
00:03:51,281 --> 00:03:58,881
Speaker 1: be happy, May you be well, May you be free

27
00:03:59,321 --> 00:04:06,881
Speaker 1: from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety, and may your whole

28
00:04:06,921 --> 00:04:14,121
Speaker 1: life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back to the

29
00:04:14,161 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: space around you and slowly opening your eyes to increase

30
00:04:25,401 --> 00:04:30,801
Speaker 1: self awareness and growth. I invite you to listen to

31
