1
00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:18,401
Speaker 1: Approche production. Good morning. I'm Jennifer Cray, host of your

2
00:00:18,441 --> 00:00:24,321
Speaker 1: morning Mantra. We set our goals with enthusiasm, but we

3
00:00:24,401 --> 00:00:30,521
Speaker 1: may find along the way we lose motivation. Today's meditation

4
00:00:30,921 --> 00:00:35,681
Speaker 1: is about grounding ourselves in our deepest why so that

5
00:00:35,721 --> 00:00:43,241
Speaker 1: when challenges arise, we can make sound decisions. Your morning mantra,

6
00:00:44,681 --> 00:00:55,681
Speaker 1: My goals are meaningful. Let's begin. If it's safe to.

7
00:00:55,681 --> 00:01:01,801
Speaker 2: Do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax

8
00:01:01,801 --> 00:01:11,001
Speaker 2: your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw, relax your

9
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:22,041
Speaker 2: shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath, drawing

10
00:01:22,041 --> 00:01:26,401
Speaker 2: your breath down to the space above your belly button.

11
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:38,281
Speaker 2: Imagine here an orange flame symbolizing your goals, your motivations,

12
00:01:39,521 --> 00:01:43,521
Speaker 2: your creativity.

13
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:52,801
Speaker 1: Bring your awareness to the description of the flame. Is

14
00:01:52,801 --> 00:01:59,321
Speaker 1: it a spark more smoke than fire. Is it a

15
00:01:59,321 --> 00:02:08,201
Speaker 1: bright burning flame and full glory, or an ember glowing

16
00:02:08,561 --> 00:02:17,641
Speaker 1: and warm from recent activity. During any worthwhile journey, there

17
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:23,161
Speaker 1: are decision points where we may add fuel to stoke

18
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,881
Speaker 1: the fire, and when it may be time to let

19
00:02:27,921 --> 00:02:33,881
Speaker 1: it sit or even extinguish it. If we are clear

20
00:02:34,041 --> 00:02:38,521
Speaker 1: on the intention why we began in the first place,

21
00:02:40,761 --> 00:02:46,241
Speaker 1: then we are able to make clear decisions when the

22
00:02:46,321 --> 00:02:54,081
Speaker 1: moments come to reevaluate, ensuring that we are spending our

23
00:02:54,121 --> 00:03:03,401
Speaker 1: time doing what most matters to us. Today's mantra, my

24
00:03:03,561 --> 00:03:10,001
Speaker 1: goals are meaningful. Repeat to yourself, either out loud or

25
00:03:10,041 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: in your mind, My goals are meaningful. Bringing your awareness

26
00:03:22,161 --> 00:03:25,881
Speaker 1: to your breath and back to the space around you.

27
00:03:27,841 --> 00:03:33,281
Speaker 1: Slowly open your eyes to increase self awareness and growth.

28
00:03:34,001 --> 00:03:38,481
Speaker 1: I invite you to listen to this evening's reflection. You

29
00:03:38,521 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: can also deepen your practice with me on Inside Timer.
