Speaker 1: Appote production. Hi, I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your Morning Mantra.

2
00:00:16,241 --> 00:00:20,921
Speaker 1: Today's meditation explores how to be successful at the beginning

3
00:00:21,441 --> 00:00:25,921
Speaker 1: of new rituals for things that we'd like to achieve.

4
00:00:29,121 --> 00:00:37,001
Speaker 1: Let's begin your morning mantra. I start my new ritual.

5
00:00:40,881 --> 00:00:45,441
Speaker 1: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or

6
00:00:45,480 --> 00:00:58,361
Speaker 1: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, Relax your ears, relax

7
00:00:58,441 --> 00:01:09,601
Speaker 1: your jaw, likes your shoulders down, and bring your attention

8
00:01:10,601 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: to your breath. Drawing your breath to the crown of

9
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: your head. Is there something you've been wanting to do

10
00:01:35,241 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: but can't find the time or been unable to commit to.

11
00:01:46,441 --> 00:01:51,561
Speaker 1: When we tag new things on to rituals we already have,

12
00:01:53,681 --> 00:02:04,161
Speaker 1: we are usually more successful at implementing them. Take a

13
00:02:04,241 --> 00:02:10,641
Speaker 1: moment to think what it is that you've been wanting

14
00:02:11,001 --> 00:02:21,841
Speaker 1: to achieve. Think about the lowest commitment you can make

15
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,721
Speaker 1: to this new activity, so.

16
00:02:26,721 --> 00:02:30,121
Speaker 2: That on days when we feel low, we can still

17
00:02:30,161 --> 00:02:44,641
Speaker 2: achieve it. Think about all the rituals you already have.

18
00:02:47,481 --> 00:02:54,721
Speaker 1: Brushing your tea, eating a meal, coffee in the morning,

19
00:02:57,041 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: picking up children, recurring meetings, caring for your p something

20
00:03:08,481 --> 00:03:20,321
Speaker 1: that you do regularly today is an invitation to start

21
00:03:20,361 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: doing this new thing, either before or after the ritual

22
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:36,681
Speaker 1: you already do. Today's mantra, I start my new ritual.

23
00:03:38,601 --> 00:03:43,001
Speaker 1: Repeat to yourself, either out loud or in your mind,

24
00:03:44,441 --> 00:03:51,321
