Each day, we SELF-domesticated ourselves as we created agreements in our minds of who we should and shouldn’t be, and what we should and shouldn’t do. But if you want to be happier…you need to step into your power and take the reins of your life so you can be the writer, the main character, and the director of your life. And right now – in this moment – you get to turn the page and write the new chapter of your life.

Hello,

This is davidji and welcome to The Daily Insight.

Let's find a comfortable place to sit or lie down.

Let's gently feather our nest,

Remember comfort is queen.

And together let's take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in.

And gently let that go.

Let's do that one more time,

Long,

Slow,

Deep breath in.

And gently release it.

And now just watch your breath,

Watch it as it flows in,

Watch it as it flows back out.

Notice that your chest rises as you inhale and eases as you exhale.

Notice that your mind is calming,

Notice that your body is relaxing and just witness.

Just pay attention to your breathing,

Effortless,

Innocent,

Surrendered.

Notice that the swirl outside of you is slowing,

The swirl inside of you is slowing as well.

And just allow yourself right now to ease into this place of stillness and silence.

There's nowhere else to be,

There's nothing else to do except to be right here,

Right now,

In this sacred,

Precious,

Present moment.

And let's begin our practice by inviting a couple of sacred questions into our awareness.

First let's ask,

Who am I when I'm at my best?

Who am I when I'm at my best?

And sometimes answers will flow,

Sometimes there'll be no answers,

That's okay,

Simply keep asking that question over and over.

Who am I when I'm at my best?

Now is a perfect time to begin your dialogue with the universe.

And next let's ask,

What am I grateful for?

What am I grateful for?

Who am I grateful for?

And simply keep asking that question over and over.

And let answers arrive,

Let them effortlessly flow into you.

And now let's invite an intention into our awareness,

Just one thing we'd like to see unfold today.

And once that's crystallized in your mind's eye,

Invite it into your heart and plant it like a seed in that fertile soil of your heart.

Feel it take root,

Feel it become you.

And now take a long,

Slow,

Deep breath in,

And let it go,

Release it,

We'll leave it up to the universe to answer,

We'll leave it up to the universe to sort out all those details.

And when it feels comfortable,

You can slowly come back into your body,

Wiggle your fingers,

Wiggle your toes,

Open your eyes,

And have an amazing day.
