We very often get sucked into a desire for perfection, which is ultimately impossible and because of that, it only leads to disappointment and failure. Instead, seeking excelllence is a life-long journey towards constant improvement and has little built in successes along the way. Even in the pursuit of excellence and failure can actually be a success because we give ourselves permission to constantly improve over time. One breath at a time.

The trick is not to be perfect but to trend towards excelence. The standard is found nowhere else but inside of you. Nothing else, no one else matters. Your trajectory in our own life is where we are truly graded. There is no time stamp. It is a marathon and not a race. One breath at a time.

The busier we get, the older we get, the more distracted we get, the harder it becomes to feel like ourselves. We get pulled in so many directions every single waking minute, that is is ver easy to lose touch with ourselves, the moment, what matters most. This meditation aims to remind the meditator that the present moment is all around us and our perfect conscious awareness is always with us, deep down inside, waiting for us to reconnect with it. One breath at a time.

We are all living busy lives. It is hard not to feel yanked around by the endless distractions we have fighting for our attention. This makes it very difficult to find the stillness we have inside of us. This meditation uses quiet breath to help find some of that stillness and remember that stillness is inside of us at all times, just waiting for us to return to it. One breath at a time.

Our days are full of chaos. We are pulled in a million different directions at all times. If we are not careful, we can very easily find ourselves overworked, exhausted, burned out, and completely over "it" but if we cultivate mindfulness and try to see everything as an opportunity to practice mindfulness, then we can begin to see all the distractions and chaos in a different light. We can begin to see things as challenges, not nuisances. We can see them as ways to improve and be more present not as overwhelming obstacles to our happiness. One breath at a time.

It's impossible to be still and worried at the same time. It's impossible to listen while talking. It's impossible to be calm while everything inside of you is buzzing with worry, doubt, fear, anger, rage, so on and so forth. This meditation aims to help recenter the meditator into the moment by encouraging stillness while listening to the silence. To listen to the silence you need to be still, inside and out. One breath at a time.

It seems like we get so caught up in peace and quiet and calm surroundings that we tend to forget that only makes meditation easier. It's often hard to find perfect peace and quiet so this meditartion hopes to help the meditator remember that there is no such thing as a perfect meditation, there is only the meditation we are currently in. Noises and distractions only serve to help us practice being more present with ourselves. One breath at a time.

When meditating, we often concentrate on our breathing and when we get into that routine, we can sometimes forget that following your breath is really just one way to meditate. There are many other ways and when we change it up, very often we see things differently so much so that when we come back to our old ways of doing things, we can actually see them again, as if it is the first time, with a brand new perspective. This meditation hopes to help the meditator get to that place of seeing things again, for the first time. One breath at a time.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that we get so busy in our lives that we need to take a few moments to quiet down, re-connect to ourselves and the present moment, and heal from the day, week, month that has been happening. This meditation hopes to encourage you to take a few moments today and every day to just heal through the quiet persistent, never-ending present moment of our breath.

As we go through life, very often we can be critical of ourself for the mistakes of the past. We all have something we beat ourselves up over but it is only after we find a way to forgiveness that we can move on and find true happiness in our life. This meditation hopes to help with that process.
