1 00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:07,281 Speaker 1: Approche production. 2 00:00:16,241 --> 00:00:19,761 Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of you are morning mantra. 3 00:00:20,841 --> 00:00:26,321 Speaker 2: Hearing no, can sting, failing, or facing rejection often feels 4 00:00:26,361 --> 00:00:31,361 Speaker 2: like a door slimy shut. Today's meditation is about welcoming 5 00:00:31,401 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: those nose as stepping stones, each one building resilience and 6 00:00:36,081 --> 00:00:43,441 Speaker 2: bringing us closer to our dreams. Your morning mantra, I 7 00:00:43,521 --> 00:00:51,521 Speaker 2: grow stronger with each no. Let's begin. 8 00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:57,161 Speaker 1: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or 9 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:05,961 Speaker 1: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax 10 00:01:06,041 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention 11 00:01:14,401 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: to your breath. Drawing your breath to the space between 12 00:01:20,601 --> 00:01:27,601 Speaker 1: your eyebrows. Recall a time of rejection or hearing no, 13 00:01:29,681 --> 00:01:35,961 Speaker 1: a failed pitch, a closed door, or someone laughing when 14 00:01:35,961 --> 00:01:43,001 Speaker 1: you shared a dream. As the vision settles, notice where 15 00:01:43,041 --> 00:01:47,761 Speaker 1: the tension shows up. Maybe a tightness in your throat, 16 00:01:49,881 --> 00:01:55,561 Speaker 1: a sinking in your chest, or a flutter in your stomach. 17 00:01:57,961 --> 00:02:04,641 Speaker 2: These sensations might scare us, they might even stop us 18 00:02:04,681 --> 00:02:11,001 Speaker 2: from continuing. It's helpful to know that they also remind 19 00:02:11,081 --> 00:02:17,721 Speaker 2: us how deeply we care about our goals. A breathing 20 00:02:17,761 --> 00:02:24,681 Speaker 2: exercise can be used to help us refrain. With each inhale, 21 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:33,441 Speaker 2: invite in quiet courage, like soft embers glowing in your chest, 22 00:02:35,401 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: and with each exhale, send out the stress of rejection. Remember, 23 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,921 Speaker 2: most successes have a trail of nose along the way. 24 00:02:49,321 --> 00:02:56,481 Speaker 2: Nose uses feedback to trim away excess and shape a 25 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: clearer path forward. Today's mantra, I grow stronger with each no. 26 00:03:05,881 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your mind. 27 00:03:11,761 --> 00:03:18,001 Speaker 2: I grow stronger with each no, bringing your awareness to 28 00:03:18,081 --> 00:03:24,041 Speaker 2: your breath and back to the space around you. Slowly 29 00:03:24,081 --> 00:03:29,881 Speaker 2: open your eyes to increase self awareness and growth. I 30 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:34,441 Speaker 2: invite you to listen to this evening's reflection. You can 31 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,321 Speaker 2: also deepen your practice with me on Inside Timer.
