You Can Outlast This

When life turns hammer or cliff or leviathan, it can be hard to imagine that what you are facing will ever end. This meditation helps you to wait and outlast whatever it is that has you in its clutches. It gives you the chance to center and breathe and make it through.

Hey there.

So I'm not gonna lie,

Sometimes life is hard.

It's more hammer,

Or cliff,

Or Leviathan,

Or thorn,

Or wilderness.

All of that tangle and struggle.

And when that happens,

We have all kinds of choices to make.

And I would invite you to outlast.

What do I mean?

Well,

Find your center.

That might be hard.

Life might feel so overwhelming.

But take a moment,

Take a deep breath in,

And let it all go.

Soften in your jaw,

Your shoulders.

Feel the center of your being.

And once you've dropped into that center,

Trust.

Trust that you can outlast whatever is currently happening.

Because nothing happens forever.

Everything ends.

And so if we can think,

If I can just outlast this moment,

Who knows what's next?

Breathe.

Drop into your center.

Outlast the restlessness.

Outlast the despair.

Outlast the grief.

Valleys end.

Storms end.

Darkness ends.

Wait.

Wait through the pain,

The fear,

The grief.

Wait through this breath,

Then this one.

Wait through the unknowing.

And do that by dropping inside.

Sometimes the present requires us to persevere and persist and outlast.

So breathe.

Stay.

Stay centered and still.

Breathe.

You are okay.

You will outlast this.

Breathe.

Wait.

Center.

Live light and shine.

Hi Betsy, Happy New Year! Enjoyed your meditation / talk greatly. 🙏

Big thanks..

Doing an asana yoga practice during your inspiring meditation spoke volumes to me ! A inner conversation began when your words floated through the air of my home 🧘 studio into my personal practice, even my rescue rough collie was intrigued, nose on phone cozying up to my mat for a stretch & scratch, back on the mat, belly exposed, paws in the air, smiling at the thought of outlasting her transition from the loss of her previous permanent owner & home, (passed away in Assisted Living) through 6 weeks of loving Foster care to her new forever home with me! Outlasting anything & everything is living, learning and loving ourselves. Thank you!
