1
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:07,281
Speaker 1: Approache production.

2
00:00:15,561 --> 00:00:19,201
Speaker 2: Good morning, I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your morning mantra.

3
00:00:20,361 --> 00:00:24,241
Speaker 2: Today's meditation explores where we have control of our futures

4
00:00:25,121 --> 00:00:31,921
Speaker 2: by consciously choosing which thoughts we act upon. Your morning mantra,

5
00:00:33,161 --> 00:00:44,001
Speaker 2: I choose how I live. Let's begin, if it's.

6
00:00:43,881 --> 00:00:49,681
Speaker 1: Safe to do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze.

7
00:00:50,081 --> 00:00:59,481
Speaker 1: Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax

8
00:00:59,561 --> 00:01:00,721
Speaker 1: your shoulders.

9
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:11,121
Speaker 2: Down, and bring your attention to your breath. Drawing your

10
00:01:11,121 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: breath to the crown of your head. We can have

11
00:01:20,121 --> 00:01:28,401
Speaker 2: control our influence in our lives, and the things that

12
00:01:28,441 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: we have control of are our thoughts and our actions.

13
00:01:38,881 --> 00:01:48,041
Speaker 2: And whatever we choose to think or act upon each

14
00:01:48,161 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: moment creates our future. Life will unfold depending on which

15
00:01:59,881 --> 00:02:07,641
Speaker 2: thoughts and actions we choose, and even which actions we

16
00:02:07,801 --> 00:02:17,201
Speaker 2: choose not to choose. It is a choice choosing inaction

17
00:02:18,441 --> 00:02:31,001
Speaker 2: or action. Time will pass, days come and go, and

18
00:02:31,081 --> 00:02:39,601
Speaker 2: the years fly by. The results of our choices become

19
00:02:39,641 --> 00:02:48,041
Speaker 2: more obvious to us as the time passes. To be

20
00:02:48,161 --> 00:02:54,641
Speaker 2: conscious of our choices, to exercise control where we can

21
00:02:56,921 --> 00:03:07,201
Speaker 2: is a very empowering and inspiring way to live. Today's

22
00:03:07,201 --> 00:03:17,521
Speaker 2: mantra I can choose how I live. Repeat to yourself,

23
00:03:17,881 --> 00:03:22,281
Speaker 2: either out loud or in your mind. I can choose

24
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:31,961
Speaker 2: how I live. Bringing your awareness back to your breath,

25
00:03:35,241 --> 00:03:42,801
Speaker 2: breathing in and out of your heart space. May you

26
00:03:42,921 --> 00:03:50,481
Speaker 2: be happy, May you be well, May you be free

27
00:03:50,921 --> 00:03:58,481
Speaker 2: from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety, and may your whole

28
00:03:58,561 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back to the

29
00:04:05,761 --> 00:04:16,961
Speaker 2: space around you and slowly opening your eyes to increase

30
00:04:17,041 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: self awareness and growth, I invite you to listen to

31
