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

2
00:00:14,961 --> 00:00:18,521
Speaker 2: Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your morning mantra.

3
00:00:20,201 --> 00:00:24,521
Speaker 2: Today's meditation is an invitation to stand in your own truth,

4
00:00:25,961 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: even if it means disappointing others. Your mourning mantra, I

5
00:00:33,281 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 2: have the courage to be myself. Let's begin, if it's

6
00:00:43,521 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: safe to do so.

7
00:00:45,001 --> 00:00:50,641
Speaker 1: Close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes,

8
00:00:52,361 --> 00:01:00,121
Speaker 1: relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your shoulders down,

9
00:01:02,001 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: and bring your attention to your breath, breathing into your heart.

10
00:01:16,601 --> 00:01:24,041
Speaker 2: Not everyone will like us, Not everyone will understand us,

11
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:33,121
Speaker 2: and that's perfectly okay. For too long, many of us

12
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:39,601
Speaker 2: have shaped ourselves to fit into the expectations of others,

13
00:01:42,801 --> 00:01:52,921
Speaker 2: shrinking to stay safe, agreeing to stay like, hiding our

14
00:01:53,041 --> 00:02:04,601
Speaker 2: light to avoid standing out. Today is an invitation to

15
00:02:04,681 --> 00:02:11,401
Speaker 2: release the need for approval, to let go of the

16
00:02:11,441 --> 00:02:21,881
Speaker 2: smallness that pleases others but starves our soul. To disappoint

17
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:30,721
Speaker 2: the people who feel safer when we stay unseen, their

18
00:02:30,721 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: comfort is not our purpose. When we stop chasing validation,

19
00:02:40,361 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: we begin to experience true connection, rooted in honesty, not performance.

20
00:02:53,841 --> 00:02:58,961
Speaker 2: We begin to attract the people who love the real us.

21
00:03:03,441 --> 00:03:13,961
Speaker 2: Today's mantra, I have the courage to be myself. Repeat

22
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:20,921
Speaker 2: to yourself, either out loud or in your mind. I

23
00:03:21,001 --> 00:03:30,961
Speaker 2: have the courage to be myself. Bringing your awareness back

24
00:03:31,001 --> 00:03:37,481
Speaker 2: to your breath, breathing in and out of your heart space.

25
00:03:42,321 --> 00:03:49,561
Speaker 2: May you be happy, may you be well, May you

26
00:03:49,681 --> 00:03:57,721
Speaker 2: be free from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety, and may

27
00:03:57,721 --> 00:04:04,841
Speaker 2: your whole life be truly blessed. Bringing your awareness back

28
00:04:05,241 --> 00:04:11,361
Speaker 2: to the space around you and slowly opening your eyes

29
00:04:16,081 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: to increase self awareness and growth, I invite you to

30
