Transcript

I arrive in this day with gratitude for the Earth and each of her unique creatures brimming with life and love beneath me.

I arrive in this day and I thank the sky and her vast expansiveness high above me.

I arrive in this day and I bow to you,

Infinite spirit.

I feel you all around me.

I arrive in this day and I thank the divine.

I see her within me.

I move through this day with the awareness that each person I encounter is moving through their own trials and tribulations,

Moving through their own experiences from their own frame of reference.

I do not judge others when I encounter them.

I allow each person,

Each creature,

Each thing throughout my day to be as they are,

Including myself.

I choose to be an observer,

Experiencing my surroundings intentionally and with curiosity.

I move through this day in kindness and in compassion for all living things,

Including myself.

I will be kind to myself first so that it may ripple out to others.

I am proud of myself for carving out this time today to simply be and breathe and ground.

I move through this day in confidence,

Knowing that I will be strong in the face of challenges or surprises.

I release all expectations and false stories that I may have created for this day.

I arrive in this day with gratitude for the earth and each of her unique creatures brimming with life and love beneath me.

I arrive in this day and I thank the sky in her vast expansiveness high above me.

I arrive in this day and I bow to you,

Infinite spirit.

I feel you all around me.

I arrive in this day and I thank the divine.

I see her within me.
