Hi,

I'm Val and Austin.

Welcome to the Daily Mantra.

Today is all about letting go of regret so you can meet the board with the fullness of your being.

When we hold on to regret there's a part of us that is no longer in the present.

So I'm going to invite you to call back that part of you that you've lost.

Bring it back to the present and release all regret and replace that regret with forgiveness for yourself.

Today's mantra,

Today I let go of regret.

I realize that I've always done the best that I could do at the time.

I also realize that the others in my life were also doing the best they could do at the time.

I replace regret with forgiveness and peace.

Close your eyes.

I invite you to take three long deep breaths and as you take these breaths I want you to envision your regrets.

Leaving your body on your exhale and on your inhale I want you to invite forgiveness for yourself and for any others that you may have regrets with.

So let's begin.

I'll let you take these three deep breaths and I'll ring the chime when that time is done.

Do you feel that clearing,

That clearing that is in you?

Clearing of your mind and your heart when you let go of regrets.

It's time to let go.

So anywhere where you have lingering thoughts of I should have,

I could have,

Things could have ended up different,

If only I had,

Would you be willing to let that go now?

Anywhere where there is any more thoughts of a way that you could have controlled a situation or made it different or better or anywhere where you think something should have happened,

Would you be willing to let that go?

Anywhere where you think that you didn't do enough,

Where you thought something was your fault,

Where you thought something was someone else's fault,

Where you felt like you let fear dictate what you wound up doing instead of coming from love,

Would you be willing to let that go?

Would you be willing to let go anywhere where you are still trying to control the outcome of any situation?

Anywhere where you don't feel worthy because of something that happened in the past?

Anywhere where you feel shame,

Would you be willing to let that go?

Let regret go.

I want you to feel yourself coming back and feel the forgiveness when you realize that you,

My dear one,

Were always doing the best that you could do.

We came into this life to learn and we learned through our experiences and yet somehow when we were at the first grade level we think we should have been at the 12th grade level.

I want you to hold some gentleness in your heart for yourself as you continue to breathe deeply.

Let your heart smile,

Your heart knows that you've always been doing the best you could do.

So look down at your being with your heart,

Feel the softness and then as you continue breathing I want you to think of others in your life that caused you hurt or regret and know that they too were doing the best that they could do at the time.

So offer that same softness to them that you've just offered to yourself.

Realize that we're all in a learning experience,

That we can be just as gentle with others as we are with ourselves and we can also be just as gentle with ourselves as we are with others.

When we are fully in the present we move forward without regret and with a new wholeness for our being.

So I invite you to keep your attention on your breath and in the next few moments think of the words I allow.

What if we allowed everything to be as it is?

We can't change it,

We can't control it.

What if we just allowed for pure allowing?

Do you feel the heart softening that comes with those words?

For the next 30 seconds I want you to be present and think of the words I allow.

I will ring the chimes when the time is done.

I allow.

What happens when you say those words to yourself?

I allow.

You know what somebody once told me?

The Sun will rise without your help.

It's great when we allow for the allowing instead of trying to control things because everything is going to happen with all this or with us.

And yes we can move through our lives with more love instead of fear.

We can take more loving and open actions.

Sometimes it doesn't happen.

So instead of moving forward with regrets,

You can change those regrets into remembrances the next time the same situation unfolds.

We can make a better choice and a better decision but we're going to be more apt to do that if we've already let the pain from the past go.

I invite you to do that today.
