1
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:14,441
Speaker 1: Approachie production. Good morning.

2
00:00:14,721 --> 00:00:19,881
Speaker 2: I'm Jennifer Cray, host of Your Morning Mantra. Today's meditation

3
00:00:20,121 --> 00:00:24,441
Speaker 2: explores the unhelpfulness of self doubt and how we can

4
00:00:24,521 --> 00:00:31,241
Speaker 2: change the script your Morning Mantra. When in doubt, I

5
00:00:31,361 --> 00:00:34,401
Speaker 2: seek inner answers.

6
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: Let's begin, if it's safe to do so, close your

7
00:00:42,921 --> 00:00:51,681
Speaker 1: eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears,

8
00:00:52,721 --> 00:00:59,921
Speaker 1: relax your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your

9
00:00:59,961 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: attention to your breath.

10
00:01:07,881 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: Drawing your breath down into your belly. When we feel confused,

11
00:01:19,041 --> 00:01:26,361
Speaker 2: we can start to doubt ourselves, turning any optimism our

12
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:35,521
Speaker 2: hope we may have had into despair. Our confidence whittled

13
00:01:35,521 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: down into low self esteem. Doubts starts to mingle with fear,

14
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:56,281
Speaker 2: dashing our hopes and dreams. Instead of doubting ourselves, we

15
00:01:56,321 --> 00:02:06,161
Speaker 2: can lean in into self inquiry, asking ourselves questions, to

16
00:02:06,281 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: seek self guided answers, to turn in to our inner

17
00:02:13,841 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: guru and come to know what is needed. Our happiness

18
00:02:24,001 --> 00:02:29,361
Speaker 2: is a choice. It's a choice we can make in

19
00:02:29,441 --> 00:02:36,001
Speaker 2: any given moment. As we begin to question what is

20
00:02:36,081 --> 00:02:44,121
Speaker 2: joyful or light, even in these dark moments, doubt fades

21
00:02:44,161 --> 00:02:51,961
Speaker 2: away into the shadows of the light and clarity that

22
00:02:52,001 --> 00:03:00,641
Speaker 2: arises today's mantra. When in doubt, I seek inner answers.

23
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,041
Speaker 2: Repeat to yourself rather out loud.

24
00:03:05,361 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: Or in your mind. When in doubt, I seek inner answers.

25
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:23,321
Speaker 1: Bringing your awareness back to your breath, breathing in and

26
00:03:23,441 --> 00:03:33,201
Speaker 1: out of your heart space. May you be happy, May

27
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:40,041
Speaker 1: you be well, May you be free from stress, worry,

28
00:03:40,561 --> 00:03:47,481
Speaker 1: fear and anxiety, and may your whole life be truly blessed.

29
00:03:51,041 --> 00:03:56,961
Speaker 1: Bringing your awareness back to the space around you and

30
00:03:57,081 --> 00:04:06,121
Speaker 1: slowly opening your eyes to increase self awarenesness and growth,

31
00:04:07,481 --> 00:04:14,801
Speaker 1: I invite you to listen to this evening's reflection. You
