If you have been carrying too much, this episode is your invitation to set it down — just for a moment, or perhaps for good.

## Affirmations in This Episode

- I release what weighs me down.
- I release the weight of past mistakes.
- I release the weight of other people's opinions.

- I release tension from my body.
- I release the need to explain myself to everyone.
- I release with each breath.
