Thank you for providing a calm, grounding, self-actualization replacement affirmations for the "Shoulding All Over Myself" voice that lurks close to the surface.

amidst the utter chaos of our world along with personal stress, i have felt overwhelmed to the point of living in a "freeze" state. this meditation gently guided me back to the present moment and helped me realize how much I can do and empowered me to continue caring for myself, building community, and doing the work that is mine to do. thank you so much for this beautiful meditation.
