1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,160
One of the hardest lessons to 
learn is that you can't please 

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,560
everyone. 
It's literally impossible. 

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,200
Sometimes we have to make hard 
choices that may disappoint 

4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:27,360
others, and that's OK. 
Do your best and let the rest 

5
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:36,640
go. 
Let's start by taking a few nice

6
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:45,040
deep breaths. 
As your breath begins to relax 

7
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:51,880
your body, allow your eyes to 
close like the sunsets. 

8
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,640
Now take a moment to consider 
this verse. 

9
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,000
Fix your thoughts on what is 
true and good and right. 

10
00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:22,500
And again, fix your thoughts on 
what is true and good and right.

11
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,640
With an easy awareness, bring 
your attention to the space in 

12
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:52,700
the room. 
Just noticing the space. 

13
00:01:53,660 --> 00:02:04,760
With an easy curiosity, notice 
your place in the room. 

14
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,980
Feel the weight of your body in 
the chair. 

15
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:32,710
Feel the air on your skin. 
Listen to the sounds in the 

16
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:38,950
room. 
Maybe it's quiet in the room, 

17
00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:43,630
maybe it's not. 
Both are OK. 

18
00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:00,200
You're just listening and 
welcoming the sounds as part of 

19
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:12,660
the exercise, not wishing to 
change the sounds, just 

20
00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:28,390
accepting the sounds as they are
when it feels natural. 

21
00:03:30,110 --> 00:03:33,750
Slowly bring your awareness to 
the breath. 

22
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:47,000
Allow your breath to be a 
reminder to stay in this present

23
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:58,800
moment. 
If your mind begins to wander, 

24
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,800
you can always come back to the 
feeling of the breath. 

25
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:24,720
Relax and let your body honor 
the natural calm that only comes

26
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,520
from the presence of a loving 
God. 

27
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,360
Now gently bring your awareness 
to the breath. 

28
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,800
Allow your breath to deepen and 
fill the lungs. 

29
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:12,880
Big deep breath in and then 
taking twice as long on the 

30
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:25,120
exhale. 
Let the inhale come easily and 

31
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:33,600
effortlessly and then exhale, 
controlling the breath. 

32
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,200
Allow yourself to be here in 
this moment. 

33
00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:55,520
This is all that matters right 
now. 

34
00:06:02,310 --> 00:06:07,030
Whatever you need to let go of, 
let it go. 

35
00:06:09,550 --> 00:06:26,640
Release it to God. 
Today is a new day with new 

36
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:41,710
opportunities. 
Allow your breath to renew your 

37
00:06:41,710 --> 00:06:47,830
spirit and connect you to your 
Creator who loves you. 

38
00:06:59,030 --> 00:07:06,390
Deep breath in through the nose 
and out through the mouth. 

39
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,840
Remember, this is a place of 
love. 

40
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,440
Let this practice be whatever 
you need it to be. 

41
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:35,320
God's calming presence is always
accessible to you. 

42
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:52,320
Let your awareness rest in the 
loving presence of God. 

43
00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:13,300
Take this verse with you. 
Fix your thoughts on what is 

44
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:34,760
true and good and right. 
Allow your awareness to slowly 

45
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:42,480
come back to your body and when 
it feels natural, begin to open 

46
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,000
your eyes. 
Sit back in your chair. 

47
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,240
Maybe you want to stretch a 
little bit. 

48
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:57,760
Do whatever feels good. 
Take a moment to notice how you 

49
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,600
feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

50
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,320
relaxed. 
We'll see you again tomorrow for

51
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,560
another day of hope.
