Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Clyde Lee Dennis. Here and today in our seven Good
Minutes extra segment, we're diving deeper into that beautiful truth.
The gentleness you show yourself in the morning becomes the
foundation upon which your entire day is built. Think about
the last time you built something meaningful, perhaps a relationship,
a skill, or even a simple garden. You understood intuitively

(00:22):
that the foundation mattered most. You wouldn't rush the groundwork
because you knew everything else depended on its strength and stability.
Your morning routine is no different. It's the emotional and
energetic foundation for everything that follows. When you choose gentleness
in those first precious moments of consciousness, you're not just

(00:43):
being kind to yourself. You're making an architectural decision about
the day ahead. You're choosing to build from a place
of stability rather than chaos, from fullness rather than depletion,
from love rather than fear. This gentleness ripples outward in
ways you might not even notice. The patience you show
yourself while slowly waking up becomes the patience you offer

(01:06):
your family when they're running late. The compassion you practice
during your morning routine becomes the compassion you extend to
a colleague who's struggling. The piece you cultivate in those
quiet moments becomes the calm presence you bring to unexpected challenges.
But here's what's truly profound. This foundation isn't just about
what you do. It's about who you become. Each gentle

(01:29):
morning is a practice in treating yourself as someone worthy
of care, someone deserving of kindness, someone whose well being
matters over time. This practice rewrites the story you tell
yourself about your own value. Take a moment to reflect
on this question. If you approached every morning as an
opportunity to lay a foundation of gentleness, how might your

(01:51):
relationship with yourself transform over the next month. Here's an
affirmation to carry with you. I am worthy of gentle beginnings,
and the kindness I show myself creates ripples of peace
throughout my entire day until next time. I'm Clyde Leie Dennis,
