1
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:17,561
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: morning mantra. Achieving anything doesn't require perfection or intensity, just

3
00:00:26,401 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: a beginning and then a commitment to continue. Today's meditation

4
00:00:33,361 --> 00:00:38,601
Speaker 1: is about the quiet power of showing up again and again.

5
00:00:41,081 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: Your morning mantra I, begin and then continue. Let's begin.

6
00:00:54,441 --> 00:00:58,121
Speaker 2: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or

7
00:00:58,161 --> 00:01:06,921
Speaker 2: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax

8
00:01:07,001 --> 00:01:14,241
Speaker 2: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention

9
00:01:15,401 --> 00:01:24,801
Speaker 2: to your breath, drawing your breath down into your belly,

10
00:01:28,761 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: allowing the body to settle into stillness.

11
00:01:36,961 --> 00:01:45,041
Speaker 1: We can overcomplicate the path to our goals, waiting for

12
00:01:45,121 --> 00:01:54,641
Speaker 1: the perfect moment, the perfect plan, being stuck by imaginary

13
00:01:55,321 --> 00:02:04,081
Speaker 1: but believed in barriers. But the truth is simple. The

14
00:02:04,161 --> 00:02:14,481
Speaker 1: secret to any success is to begin and then continue.

15
00:02:14,721 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: Removing the need to feel ready or have it all

16
00:02:19,721 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: worked out. We simply begin, taking one step and then

17
00:02:28,841 --> 00:02:41,081
Speaker 1: another with a strong commitment to continue. Transformation occurs, progress

18
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,921
Speaker 1: is made, and we are destined to journey along our

19
00:02:48,001 --> 00:02:59,721
Speaker 1: paths with deliberation and intention. Today's mantra I begin and

20
00:02:59,761 --> 00:03:06,481
Speaker 1: then continue. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in

21
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:18,521
Speaker 1: your mind. I begin and then continue bringing your awareness

22
00:03:18,881 --> 00:03:22,601
Speaker 1: to your breath and back to the space around you.

23
00:03:24,561 --> 00:03:29,961
Speaker 1: Slowly open your eyes to increase self awareness and growth.

24
00:03:30,761 --> 00:03:35,201
Speaker 1: I invite you to listen to this evening's reflection. You

25
00:03:35,241 --> 00:03:38,201
Speaker 1: can also deepen your practice with me on Inside Timer.
