Self discipline is the only way to form new habits and achieve new goals. Keeping your word with yourself is the first step towards being able to keep your word with others. Many times we can get swept away by the daily struggle and days, weeks, months can go by in between steps towards progress.

In the ebb and flow of life, it can be difficult to remind ourselves that the ups and downs are what define us. They create us. Good, bad, ugly. We are who we are because of all the things that have happened in our life. With perspective, we can always look back and be thankful for everything because we are who we are because of them. In the moment, it's not quite as easy. This meditation hopes to remind the meditator to take a moment and ride the wave of life, one breath at a time.

In our daily lives it can be very easy to put insurmountable amounts of pressure on ourselves to achieve, achieve, achieve and lose sight of the importance of little victories. Some days, just getting up in the morning and giving it another shot is, in fact, a victory because it could be easier to quit and never try again. This meditation hopes to help the meditator remember that life is a marathon and not a race and the way forward is one breath at a time.

We are predisposed to negative and unproductive thoughts. We spend so much of our time focusing on what is going wrong and all the things we don't have but that way of thinking only keeps us miserable. That is why it is important to remind ourselves to be grateful for the things we do have. This meditation hopes to help remind the meditator that the only way to finding joy in our life is through gratitude. One breath and a time.

In life, we often pick up baggage along the way. Sometimes this baggage consists of big things like childhood and relationship trauma but we also pick up numerous little things along the way and those little things may not seem like much but they add up over time and just weight us down. This meditation hopes to help you be more mindful of the baggage we pick up and consider handling those little things as they arise so we don't carry them with us for years.

It is easy to forget how easy things are in modern times. It's easy to forget how slow things used to be. But somehow, the faster things get, the less patient we become. There is a wisdom in patience that says "I know things will happen in their own time". It take s a lot of practice. This meditation hopes to remind the meditator to be mindful that things will happen when they happen, no sooner, no later. One breath at a time.

Over time we find ourselves in certain agreements with the people in our lives and sometimes those relationships fall into patterns where we are expected to give all of ourselves and put ourselves last in the list of priorities. These are arrangements that we have agreed to over time but may not leave us feeling appreciated or fulfilled. This meditation hopes to remind the meditator that we all deserve better and change only comes from within ourselves. One breath at a time.

We get attached. We all do. The trick to life though, is to become deeply involved in our life all while being less attached to it. This meditation hopes to help the meditator to deal with attachment through our breath. Breathe in, detach and breathe out. Over and over again.

Life gets hectic and it is often hard to find a way into relaxation. Even when we purposefully take a few minutes to meditate, we are often met with a busy mind that makes it very hard to unplug from the chaos. This meditation aims to help the meditator with a simple tip to hyper-focus the breath into your body, all while doing a complete relaxing body scan.

Sometimes we allow ourselves to get too busy or overwhelmed to give time for meditation. The thing is that meditation is good for us, even as a one time thing but the real benefits come from a daily routine and practice. This meditation hopes to assist the meditator some space to deepen the practice of daily meditation.
