1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,600
Everything depends on your 
perspective. 

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,600
Your perspective is created by 
what you're focusing on. 

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,080
If you focus on the world, your 
heart will be distressed. 

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,160
If you focus on yourself, your 
heart will be depressed. 

5
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,200
But if you focus on God, your 
heart will be at rest. 

6
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:36,120
OK, go ahead and get comfortable
in your position, really 

7
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:45,640
allowing the body to relax, and 
when you feel ready, let your 

8
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:56,160
eyes slowly close. 
Now take a moment to consider 

9
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:02,120
this verse. 
Those who wait on the Lord get 

10
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:08,320
fresh strength, they spread 
their wings and soar like 

11
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:20,900
eagles. 
And again, those who wait on the

12
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:28,780
Lord get fresh strength. 
They spread their wings and soar

13
00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:48,680
like eagles. 
Now bring your awareness to the 

14
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:57,760
feeling of the body. 
Maybe there's some muscle 

15
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,000
tightness or stress lingering in
the body. 

16
00:02:08,340 --> 00:02:15,780
Slowly bring your attention to 
those areas of tightness and 

17
00:02:15,780 --> 00:02:31,120
relax them piece by piece. 
Feel the weight of your body in 

18
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:42,900
the chair. 
As your body begins to relax, 

19
00:02:44,260 --> 00:02:54,500
allow your mind to let go. 
Give yourself permission to 

20
00:02:54,500 --> 00:03:06,640
start fresh. 
What is done is done. 

21
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:22,490
All you have is this moment. 
This is a safe place. 

22
00:03:24,410 --> 00:03:44,040
Release your thoughts to God. 
When it feels comfortable, take 

23
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:59,680
a few nice deep breaths, inhale,
feel the chest rise, and exhale,

24
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:12,400
feel the chest fall. 
There's no way to do this wrong.

25
00:04:17,930 --> 00:04:22,450
If the thoughts take you away, 
that's OK. 

26
00:04:23,770 --> 00:04:30,090
When it feels comfortable, bring
your awareness back to the 

27
00:04:30,090 --> 00:04:51,600
feeling of the breath. 
Let's take a few nice deep 

28
00:04:51,600 --> 00:05:04,810
breaths. 
Allow your breath to fill the 

29
00:05:04,810 --> 00:05:13,170
body up and then relax with each
out breath. 

30
00:05:22,260 --> 00:05:28,620
With each new breath, allow the 
chest to open and the body to 

31
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:45,640
relax. 
Let go of any tension in your 

32
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:53,440
body. 
Just focus your attention on the

33
00:05:53,440 --> 00:06:01,400
breath. 
Deep breaths in through the nose

34
00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:15,960
and out through the mouth. 
And when it feels comfortable, 

35
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:27,000
begin to count the breath. 
One on the inhale and two on the

36
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:39,280
exhale, three on the next inhale
and four on the next exhale, 

37
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,200
counting up to 10 and then 
starting over again. 

38
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:13,360
Now let go of the counting and 
bring your attention to the 

39
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:26,620
sound of your breathing. 
Just a nice soft focus on the 

40
00:07:26,660 --> 00:07:30,620
air coming in and the air going 
out. 

41
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:59,650
Just relaxing and releasing. 
Allow your awareness to rest 

42
00:07:59,850 --> 00:08:16,030
with the breath. 
Take this verse with you. 

43
00:08:18,310 --> 00:08:22,750
Those who wait on the Lord get 
fresh strength. 

44
00:08:24,390 --> 00:08:28,670
They spread their wings and soar
like eagles. 

45
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:47,880
Softly begin to bring your 
awareness back to the body, back

46
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,160
to that feeling of weight in the
body. 

47
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:58,520
And when you're ready, slowly 
open your eyes and take a big 

48
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:03,520
deep breath in. 
Take a moment to check in and 

49
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,680
notice how you feel. 
I hope you feel a little more 

50
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:13,680
present. 
We'll see you again tomorrow for

51
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:17,040
another day of hope. 
Take care.
