Listen to this when you feel like giving up.
When I was making this track right here for you,
I said,
How can we connect?
How can we best connect to that heart center?
Cuz your heart is beating.
It's beating for something.
Boom,
Boom,
Boom,
Boom.
Take your left hand,
Place it over your heart center.
Boom,
Boom,
Boom,
Boom.
Take a deep breath in through your nose.
Do you feel your heartbeat?
How often do you connect in with the heartbeat?
These veins that are flowing to and from this miracle of an organ.
Boom,
Boom,
Boom,
Boom.
Listen,
I want you to hear this track whenever you feel like giving up.
Acknowledge the joy in this moment.
Because a part of the prophecy is being fulfilled.
What are you talking about?
I feel like giving up.
Right?
Which means to whom much is given,
More is required.
Sacrifice.
Boom,
Boom,
Boom,
Boom.
Discipline.
Awareness.
Boom,
Boom,
Boom,
Boom.
Of course you feel like giving up.
Didn't you ask to eat?
Didn't you ask for more?
Didn't you say you wanted to grow?
Was that not you?
Were you not there asking for an expansion,
Looking for growth?
Whether it be personal,
Financial,
Business,
Platonic,
Whatever growth you asked for.
Of course you want to give up.
This is new territory for you.
Unfamiliar.
Boom,
Boom,
Boom,
Boom.
Hey,
That heartbeat is telling you,
I'm alive.
I'm here.
I feel this.
I feel now.
And that's a great place to be.
Forget about letting other people down.
Look at the human that you are in the mirror.
If you don't have access to a mirror in this exact moment,
That's okay.
Close your eyes.
That's the only mirror you'll ever need.
Close your eyes.
If you're in a space to close your eyes in this moment,
If it's safe for you to close your eyes in this moment,
Close your eyes with me.
I want you to repeat after me.
I won't quit on you.
Say it again like you mean it.
I won't quit on you.
I won't quit on you.
I want you to put a smile on your face when you say,
I quit giving up on you.
I quit giving up on you.
I quit giving up on you.
Smile even bigger when you say,
I admire your potential.
I admire your unique process.
One more time.
I admire your potential and your unique process.
Hug yourself when you say this.
I trust the creator in co-creation of all things good in my life.
Squeeze yourself.
I trust the creator in the co-creation of all things good in my life.
And finally,
Breathe in because these lessons are here to remind me of the things that I asked for.
These lessons are here to remind me of the things that I asked for.
I'm striving for greatness.
Of course there's new territory,
New grounds.
Ha.
It's not time to give up yet.
You'll know when.
Now is not that time.
Say it with me.
I trust that it's working out for me now,
Now,
Now.
I trust that it's working out for me now,
Now,
Now.
Come on family.
I want you to grab a sticky.
I know you have one.
You have access to sticky notes.
Grab you a sticky and you write that somewhere where you can see it.
I trust that it's working out for me now,
Now,
Now.
Just like your heart is beating.
It's working out for you now,
Now,
Now.
That's the reason why I wanted you to hear this when you felt like giving up because that's a part of it.
It's a part of asking and dreaming and wanting more.
It's a part of an ambitious journey.
You of course want to give up every now and again.
Do you think I would be the owner and founder of Ingle Nook Yoga,
Birmingham,
Alabama's very first Black-owned yoga studio without ever wanting to give up?
There were times when I wanted to give up.
What?
Are you kidding me?
But the support system,
The faith,
The grind.
Come on now.
Maybe,
Maybe I'm the support system for you right now and I'm so honored to be here and lead you through this deep breath in and this deep breath out.
You can come back and hear these words whenever you need to,
Whenever you need to.
I'm so passionate about this.
I'm so passionate about you.
I'm so passionate about your dreams.
Let's go.
Let's go.
You got this.
It's never a problem.
It's easy to give up.
It's harder to keep going but you have what it takes.
I'm letting you know that right now.
You have what it takes.
Whatever it was that you felt like giving up on before you started listening,
Boom,
Boom,
Boom,
Boom.
To your own heartbeat,
Really and truly,
Let me know what that is.
Be fearless.
Let me know what that is in the comments.
Let's celebrate you.
I have a beautiful tribe that I'm growing here on Inside Timer and we would also love to celebrate and witness you.
So go ahead and leave it right there.
Let me know exactly what it was.
Hey Adi,
I wanted to give up on XYZ but I didn't.
I'm feeling stronger now.
I can't wait to hear from you.
I love each and every one of you.
You want to know how?
Because I love me and I know that we're in this thing together.
We are this thing together.
Namaste.
