I was so restless and uneasy all evening. I tried 2 other meditations and couldn't even sit still longer then 2 or 3 minutes. I am SO grateful I didn't give up . Instead, I searched and found this meditation and I am truly feeling grounded, peaceful and sooóo much better then I did 17 min ago. Thank you so much for creating this beautiful practice.

I messed up today. It wasn’t intentional, but I made a error at my job I should not make and it may cost me. I’m scared for me, my reputation, and for my family. But this small and elegant meditation really did help me. I know work/jobs are not everything. I know that life is like this and that I’m Human. But this helped remind me of that and helped guide me through this night. Tomorrow may hurt and I’ll listen to this again. Thank you for this.

Things that we believed to be true, what if they are untrue? Can we let go of this untruth? U’re beautiful just the way u are, not a pound more, not a pound less. - perfect reminders, thank u!
