1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:05,400
Every morning when you wake up, 
you get to define success for 

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,120
yourself. 
The world often defines success 

3
00:00:10,120 --> 00:00:15,760
as money or status, but true 
success is so much more. 

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,720
Success can be a great 
relationship, or being a loving 

5
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:30,040
parent, or even showing up for a
friend in need or maybe just 

6
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:35,240
getting out of bed. 
Success is something that 

7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,080
changes through the seasons of 
your life. 

8
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:44,320
As you go about your day, try 
letting go of what you think 

9
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,640
success should be and embrace 
what success is for you in your 

10
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,320
life. 
Remember, God loves you just as 

11
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:03,840
you are. 
OK, let's begin by consciously 

12
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:12,360
relaxing the body, and when 
you're ready, allow your eyes to

13
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:19,960
slowly close. 
As your body begins to settle, 

14
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,600
take a moment to consider this 
verse. 

15
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:41,490
The Lord created you, and again,
the Lord created you. 

16
00:01:57,900 --> 00:02:01,620
Bring your attention to the 
feeling of the breath. 

17
00:02:07,740 --> 00:02:15,220
Let it settle into a natural 
rhythm, effortless and easy. 

18
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,960
Notice how good it feels just to
breathe 

19
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:49,110
with each inhale, Let your body 
fill up with new life. 

20
00:02:52,510 --> 00:02:59,310
With each exhale, release and 
let your body relax. 

21
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:16,280
Feel your feet on the floor and 
the weight of your body in the 

22
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:31,200
chair. 
Now gently bring your attention 

23
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:41,760
to your emotions, just noticing 
the feelings that you brought 

24
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:55,200
with you today. 
Not engaging with the emotions, 

25
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:11,190
just noticing them. 
As an observer, remember that 

26
00:04:11,190 --> 00:04:15,230
you can leave those feelings 
right where they are. 

27
00:04:20,950 --> 00:04:27,430
Just allow those thoughts to 
bubble up and out. 

28
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:43,440
Remember, today is a new day 
with new opportunities. 

29
00:04:46,400 --> 00:05:03,530
God is working in your life 
with an easy awareness. 

30
00:05:04,770 --> 00:05:08,170
Bring your attention to the 
space in the room. 

31
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,960
Just noticing the space with an 
easy curiosity. 

32
00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:51,910
Notice your place in the room. 
Feel the air on your skin. 

33
00:06:02,090 --> 00:06:04,730
Listen to the sounds in the 
room. 

34
00:06:08,530 --> 00:06:12,450
Maybe it's quiet in the room, 
maybe it's not. 

35
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:27,420
Both are OK. 
You're just listening and 

36
00:06:27,420 --> 00:06:38,850
welcoming the sounds as part of 
the exercise, not wishing to 

37
00:06:38,850 --> 00:06:44,730
change the sounds, just 
accepting the sounds as they 

38
00:06:44,730 --> 00:07:10,480
are. 
When it feels natural, slowly 

39
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,240
bring your awareness to the 
breath. 

40
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,520
Allow your breath to be a 
reminder to stay in this present

41
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:42,790
moment. 
If your mind begins to wander, 

42
00:07:44,190 --> 00:07:47,830
you can always come back to the 
feeling of the breath. 

43
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:10,200
Relax and let your body honor 
the natural calm that only comes

44
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,000
from the presence of a loving 
God. 

45
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:33,880
Take this verse with you. 
The Lord created you. 

46
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:57,080
Allow your awareness to slowly 
come back to your body and when 

47
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,800
it feels natural, begin to open 
your eyes. 

48
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,120
Sit back in your chair. 
Maybe you want to stretch a 

49
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,800
little bit. 
Do whatever feels good. 

50
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,880
Take a moment to notice how you 
feel. 

51
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,960
I hope you feel a little more 
relaxed. 

52
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,040
We'll see you again tomorrow for
another day of hope.
