When life hits, sit. Breathe. Settle—moment into moment. You are alive. You are here. You are meant to be here. Be grateful to the self you have been. Love who you are becoming. A bad ass with a hammer, working hard to shape the life you want.

Welcome to a hit of hope.

Have you ever felt hammered and not the good kind,

But the kind where life feels like it's a sledgehammer and you're the target getting wailed on?

Maybe the bad news won't stop.

Maybe it's one crisis in the midst of another,

One loss after another.

Maybe they can't figure out what's going on.

Maybe the demands are too much and your resources too few.

Sit.

Breathe.

You are alive.

You are here.

You have done so much already.

Let me repeat that.

You have done so much already.

You can rely on yourself.

You are strong,

Strong enough to face this obstacle and the next and the one after that.

You could feel defeated and rightly so.

Life can be so very,

Very hard.

But you can also see this as a chance to become the best version of yourself.

Because hammered can also mean to work laboriously.

To put into shape with great effort.

Hammered can mean you use your drive and will to see the result you want to see.

When life hits.

Sit.

Breathe.

Settle moment into moment.

You are alive.

You are here.

You are meant to be here.

Be grateful to the self,

You have been.

And love who you are becoming a bad ass with a hammer,

Working hard to shape the life you want.

Namaste.

You create from a place to which I can relate on a deep level. I don't listen to many short meditations, I don't feel much benefit from them. I listen to yours and feel understood and lifted. Thank you. Om shanti. Namaste

Sometimes you can tell, just from the title, that this is a message you need to hear. Such was the case with this meditation. Thank you.

I love this, pure and simple. Spoke directly to my heart, describing the most recent 14 months of my life. Certain parts held extra-special meaning for me, too. Bookmarked and downloaded. Thank you so much for this. I see the light in you. 🤲🏻❤️🤲🏻
