When It's Not Okay

This meditation has salty language in it. When life gets hard, it can be difficult to be with what is, to stay with it, to find a way through. This meditation helps us find ways to be okay when it's not okay.

Transcript

Hey there.

They come,

Sometimes out of nowhere.

Those times when it gets so hard.

So hard to be,

To breathe,

To believe,

To hope.

If now is one of those times,

Let's be here together.

Let's take this breath in and let it go.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

It's okay.

Even if it is so not okay,

It's okay.

For this breath in,

It's okay.

For this breath out,

It's okay.

We are here together.

Breathing in,

Breathing out.

Whatever it is,

Whatever thing has its hooks in you,

Whatever has gone sideways,

Whatever you regret,

Whatever you fear,

We are here together.

Breathing in,

Breathing out.

Even if it's not okay,

It's okay.

For this breath in,

For this breath out,

Shit will happen.

We will fuck up.

We will fall down.

It is up to us to get back up.

But for now,

Take this time to pause,

To breathe,

To gather all your strength and grit together,

To knit it deep inside so that you know it is there.

When you need it,

Inhale,

Exhale.

Trust the fight in you.

Trust the voice in you,

The one telling you,

You are okay and you will pass through this and find yourself in a new light,

A steady,

Strong,

Radiant light,

One that shines from deep within.

A light that will guide you as you go along your live light way.

Just what we need sometimes to know it's ok to fuck up. Thank you.

I have always been able to pick-me-up and start fresh Betsy, renewing determination to feel better about myself. Hugz for reminding me, and may your day be a sunshiny one...

I really, really needed this right now. Some how, some way, it will get better. Thank you for this meditation.

Thank you Betsy for this wonderfully empowering piece for when you don’t feel like finding your ‘fight’ yet again. Together is always good.

Step by step, breath by breath, this moment is ok. Thank you.
