This is a companion podcast for this morning's mantra.
When we rush from one task to the next, we rarely pause to celebrate what we’ve just done. This meditation is your reminder to stop, breathe, and acknowledge your progress — no matter how big or small.
Jennifer Cray is a life coach, meditation teacher and yoga teacher for Living Lit Up, based in Brisbane. You can deepen your meditation practices with her on Insight Timer.

Approache production. Hi, I'm Jennifer Cray. Let's reflect on today's mantra.
I pause to acknowledge my progress. Close your eyes or
(00:30):
lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax
your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention
to your breath. Allow the events of your day to
(00:50):
run through your mind from when you woke up to
this very moment. Reflect on tasks that were completed, reflect
(01:26):
on pausing at acknowledging. Take this moment now to acknowledge
(01:53):
and celebrate the day's efforts. What can you learn from
(02:16):
this now? Think of three things that happened today that
you can be grateful for. Say thank you, and then
(02:39):
let go, releasing the day and all thoughts that came
with it. Calling your energy back to this moment, bringing
(03:03):
your attention to your breath, breathing in and out of
your nose, Drawing your breath down into your belly where
there are no thoughts at all. See you tomorrow for
(03:29):
your morning mantra. You can also deepen your practice with
me on Inside Timer. Find the link and the show
