1
00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Us studious. Welcome back, Amaya, and to day. I want

2
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>to tell you something you might not hear enough, something

3
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>so simple that it might actually be hard to believe.

4
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>You are allowed to simply be, not to do, not

5
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>to achieve, not to prove, just to be. Take a

6
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:38.320
<v Speaker 1>moment to settle into your space, lay your body, relax,

7
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.479
<v Speaker 1>and as you close your eyes, notice if there's a

8
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 1>part of you that resists this idea, a part that says,

9
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 1>but I need to do something, I need to be useful,

10
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.679
<v Speaker 1>I need to err my place. If that part is there,

11
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:06.799
<v Speaker 1>I understand. I hear it too, and today we're going

12
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 1>to gently challenge it. From the moment we're born, we're

13
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>tought that our value comes from what we do. Good

14
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>grades mean a good child, Hard work means a good employee.

15
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Providing for your family means a good parent. Being productive

16
00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 1>means a good person. We internalize this so deeply that

17
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>we can't imagine our worth existing outside of our performance.

18
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 1>But here's the thing. A tree doesn't earn the right

19
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:54.959
<v Speaker 1>to exist by producing fruit. A river does improve its

20
00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 1>value by reaching the ocean. A sunset doesn't need to

21
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:06.200
<v Speaker 1>accomplish anything to be beautiful, and neither to you. I

22
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>remember growing up, my grandmother used to sit on the

23
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>porch for hours in the afternoon. She would just watch

24
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the street, the birds, the light changing on the trees.

25
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:27.879
<v Speaker 1>She wasn't resting so she could work later, she wasn't recharging.

26
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 1>She was simply being, and she seemed so at peace

27
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:39.479
<v Speaker 1>in those moments, so complete. As a child, I didn't

28
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 1>understand it. I thought she was doing nothing. Now I

29
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.479
<v Speaker 1>understand she was doing the most important thing a person

30
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>can do. She was living without agenda. She was giving

31
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>herself permission to exist without earning it, and there was

32
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>a kind of quiet beauty in that then I still

33
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>carry with me. I think about her sometimes when I'm

34
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>caught in the cycle of doing, when I'm checking things

35
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>off my list, when I'm measuring my day by what

36
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I accomplished, when I'm lying in bed at night trying

37
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 1>to remember everything I did so I can feel like

38
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 1>the day was worth it. And I think about her

39
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>on that porch, and I wonder did she measure her

40
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:36.439
<v Speaker 1>days that way? Did she lie away wandering if she'd

41
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>done enough. I don't think she did. I think she

42
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:47.479
<v Speaker 1>understood something. I'm still learning that a day spent simply

43
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:53.879
<v Speaker 1>being is not a day wasted, It's a day fully lived.

44
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:58.639
<v Speaker 1>And the people who sat on that porch with her,

45
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 1>they didn't remember what she accomplished that day. They remembered

46
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>how she made them feel. They remembered her presence, her warmed,

47
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 1>the way she listened, the way she made you feel

48
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:21.399
<v Speaker 1>like you were the most important person in the world.

49
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:27.079
<v Speaker 1>That was her gift, and it had nothing to do

50
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>with productivity. Your worth is not something you earn. It's

51
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.879
<v Speaker 1>something you are. It was there before your first achievement,

52
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 1>before your first grade, before your first paycheck. It will

53
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:52.839
<v Speaker 1>be there after your last. It's not conditional. It doesn't

54
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 1>go up when you succeed or down when you fail.

55
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>It simply is like your heart beat, like your breath,

56
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 1>like the fact that you're alive right now, reading these words,

57
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 1>existing in this moment. Think about the seasons. Winter doesn't

58
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:24.959
<v Speaker 1>apologize for not producing flowers. The barren field doesn't explain

59
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:30.519
<v Speaker 1>itself to the meadow next door that's full of wild flowers.

60
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 1>The ocean doesn't stop when the tide goes out, as

61
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 1>if it's done something wrong. It simply moves. It simply is,

62
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:49.319
<v Speaker 1>and we accept that. We accept the rhythm of nature

63
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:55.800
<v Speaker 1>without question. But when it comes to ourselves, we demand

64
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 1>constant output, constant proof that we deserve to take up space.

65
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 1>There's something else I want you to consider. The moments

66
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:12.879
<v Speaker 1>that matter most to you, the ones you'll remember when

67
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:19.160
<v Speaker 1>you're old, are rarely moments of achievement. They are moments

68
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>of connection. A conversation with someone you love, a walk

69
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>in the rain, a quiet evening when nothing happened except

70
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>that you were alive and aware and present. Those moments

71
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:46.079
<v Speaker 1>didn't require productivity, they didn't require earning. They just required you,

72
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and they were enough. They were more than enough. But

73
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 1>we forget this. We forget it so completely that the

74
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>idea of being outdoing feels almost dangerous. What if I

75
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:10.439
<v Speaker 1>stop and everything falls apart? What if I'm not needed?

76
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:17.519
<v Speaker 1>What if I'm just taking up space? These fears run deep.

77
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:23.160
<v Speaker 1>They're not just thoughts, their survival patterns, because for most

78
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:28.439
<v Speaker 1>of us, being useful was how we stayed safe. Being

79
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>needed was how we earned love. And letting go of

80
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:38.439
<v Speaker 1>that feels like letting go of the ground. I know

81
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.600
<v Speaker 1>this feeling. There was a time in my own life

82
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>when I was so busy, so productive, so needed by

83
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>everyone around me, that I couldn't imagine what would happen

84
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>if I simply stopped. And then when I was forced

85
00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 1>to stop, when I got sick, when I burned out,

86
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 1>I realized that I had been running on a machine.

87
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know how to turn off. The machine kept

88
00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>asking what have you done today? What have you produced?

89
00:08:17.000 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>What evidence is there that you're worth keeping around? And

90
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:28.680
<v Speaker 1>I realized slowly that the machine was never mine. It

91
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 1>was given to me, It was taught to me, and

92
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I could, if I was brave enough, learn to put

93
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 1>it down. It wasn't easy. The first few days of

94
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>doing nothing felt like drowning. I kept reaching for tasks,

95
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>for things to check off, for evidence that I was

96
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:57.679
<v Speaker 1>still valuable. But slowly something shifted. I started to notice

97
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>things I hadn't noticed before. The way the light moved

98
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:06.679
<v Speaker 1>through my apartment, the sound of rain on the window,

99
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:12.639
<v Speaker 1>the feeling of my own breath. These things had always

100
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:16.759
<v Speaker 1>been there, I had just been too busy to see them.

101
00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 1>And when I finally slowed down, I realized that the

102
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>richness I've been searching for in achievement was actually in

103
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:35.960
<v Speaker 1>the pauses, in the spaces, in the moments when I

104
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 1>was simply quietly alive. Let's try something right now, in

105
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 1>this moment. You are not producing anything. You are not

106
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>helping anyone. You are not earning anything. You are not

107
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 1>answering emails or making plans or solving problems. You are

108
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>simply sitting here, breathing, being, and yet you exist. You matter.

109
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Your being here right now has value, not because of

110
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:24.080
<v Speaker 1>what you'll do later, not because of who you are

111
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:29.519
<v Speaker 1>to someone else, but because you are here, and that

112
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>is enough. You don't need to justify it. You don't

113
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:40.679
<v Speaker 1>need to prove it. You don't need anyone's permission. It

114
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 1>just is. The way the sky is blue, the way

115
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the earth holds you, the way your breath comes and

116
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>goes without effort, It just is. Breathe into that, let

117
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:05.840
<v Speaker 1>it land. You are enough, not because you did enough,

118
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:13.240
<v Speaker 1>just because you are. Let's do a body skin. Start

119
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:17.279
<v Speaker 1>at the top of your head and slowly move your

120
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 1>attention down. Feel the crown of your head soft and open.

121
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:30.559
<v Speaker 1>Let your forehead release any tension it's been holding. Maybe

122
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:35.480
<v Speaker 1>you didn't even know it was tight. Let it soften now.

123
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Your eyes resting gently in their sockets, let them be heavy,

124
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 1>Let them close fully and rest your jaw. Release it

125
00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:56.759
<v Speaker 1>let your teeth part slightly. Feel the space that opens.

126
00:11:58.320 --> 00:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Your throat open and free. Let it be soft, without

127
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>forcing any words. Your shoulders. Feel them drop away from

128
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:18.159
<v Speaker 1>your ears. They've been carrying so much. Let them rest now.

129
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:25.639
<v Speaker 1>Your arms heavy and supported, your hands open, palms soft,

130
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>fingers gently curled, Your chest rising and falling with each breath.

131
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:41.519
<v Speaker 1>Notice the rhythm, the steadiness, your heart beating quietly underneath,

132
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:47.879
<v Speaker 1>doing its work without asking for praise. Your belly soft,

133
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Let it be round, Let it be held. Your hips

134
00:12:53.399 --> 00:13:00.759
<v Speaker 1>grounded and supported by whatever surface you're on. Your legs relaxed,

135
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker 1>your feet on the earth, connected to the ground beneath you.

136
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:14.279
<v Speaker 1>This body, this body that carries you through every day,

137
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:20.039
<v Speaker 1>This body that heals itself while you sleep, This body

138
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>that breathes without being asked, This body that is enough,

139
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.240
<v Speaker 1>exactly as it is. You don't need to change it.

140
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:34.960
<v Speaker 1>You don't need to fix it. You don't need to

141
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>make it more productive. You just need to let it

142
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:44.840
<v Speaker 1>be here, and it is, and you are, and that

143
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 1>is enough. Now, as you sit here, I want you

144
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to imagine that all the roles you play parent, partner, employee, friend,

145
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:08.559
<v Speaker 1>and caregiver, imagine them as coats you've been wearing, layer

146
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:14.720
<v Speaker 1>after layer, added over the years, until you can barely

147
00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:19.960
<v Speaker 1>see yourself underneath them. And for just this moment, imagine

148
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:28.600
<v Speaker 1>taking them off, one by one, setting them aside, not forever,

149
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:35.720
<v Speaker 1>not rejecting them, just setting them down for now. What's

150
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:40.440
<v Speaker 1>left when all those coats are off? Who are you

151
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:46.480
<v Speaker 1>underneath all the roles? Can you feel that person, that quiet,

152
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:51.399
<v Speaker 1>still enough person, that's the one we hear to meet today.

153
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:58.399
<v Speaker 1>You are allowed to rest without having earned it. You

154
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 1>are allowed to take up without apologizing for it. You

155
00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:11.159
<v Speaker 1>are allowed to exist without producing anything of value. These

156
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:14.879
<v Speaker 1>are not rewards for good behavior. They are your birthright.

157
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Think about the people you love most. Your children, your partner,

158
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.440
<v Speaker 1>your closest friends. Do you love them because of what

159
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>they do? Or do you love them because of who

160
00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>they are? When your child is sleeping, you don't love

161
00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:38.279
<v Speaker 1>them less because they're not being productive. When your friend

162
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:43.799
<v Speaker 1>is struggling, you don't love them less because they're not performing.

163
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:50.559
<v Speaker 1>Love is not contingent on output, and neither is your

164
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:56.039
<v Speaker 1>own worth. There's a beautiful concept in Japanese culture called MA.

165
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>It means the pause between notes, the space between things.

166
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:10.440
<v Speaker 1>Without MA, music would be a wall of sound without space,

167
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.799
<v Speaker 1>a painting would be a mass of color. It's the

168
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>emptiness that gives the form its meaning, and you in

169
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:25.879
<v Speaker 1>your life need that emptiness too. The spaces between your

170
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:31.039
<v Speaker 1>doing are not wasted time. They are the places where

171
00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:36.399
<v Speaker 1>meaning gathers. They are the places where you become yourself again.

172
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 1>There's a freedom in this that might feel unfamiliar. Freedom

173
00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>from the need to justify your existence. Freedom from the

174
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:57.159
<v Speaker 1>endless performance review you've been conducting on yourself. Freedom from

175
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the belief that you must always be useful, always be productive,

176
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:08.960
<v Speaker 1>always be earning your keep in the world. What would

177
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:12.880
<v Speaker 1>it feel like to put that down, just for an hour,

178
00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:21.920
<v Speaker 1>just for an afternoon, and simply exist, No agenda, no

179
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:28.559
<v Speaker 1>to do list, no measuring of worth, just you in

180
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:39.200
<v Speaker 1>a room, breathing being. That's not laziness. That's liberation, and

181
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:42.599
<v Speaker 1>you dessert it. What if you could look at yourself

182
00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:46.759
<v Speaker 1>the way you look at someone you love. What if

183
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you could see your own face tired, hopeful, imperfect and

184
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.519
<v Speaker 1>feel the same tenderness you feel when you hold a

185
00:17:57.559 --> 00:18:02.160
<v Speaker 1>sleeping child. What if you could say to yourself, you

186
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:06.720
<v Speaker 1>don't have to do anything right now. You don't have

187
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:15.640
<v Speaker 1>to be anything, just be here, just breathe, just exist,

188
00:18:17.400 --> 00:18:23.079
<v Speaker 1>and that is enough. Can you feel the relief in

189
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.839
<v Speaker 1>those words? Can you feel how different it is from

190
00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the voice that says you need to err your place

191
00:18:31.880 --> 00:18:36.440
<v Speaker 1>your journaling prompt today? When was the last time you

192
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:41.599
<v Speaker 1>allowed yourself to simply be, Not resting so you can

193
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.960
<v Speaker 1>work later, not taking a break so you can come

194
00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:52.240
<v Speaker 1>back stronger, just being. What does that feel like? And

195
00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.200
<v Speaker 1>what are you afraid might happen if you let yourself

196
00:18:56.279 --> 00:19:01.920
<v Speaker 1>do it more? What would change your life if you

197
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:08.519
<v Speaker 1>stopped earning and simply started existing. What would you do

198
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:13.319
<v Speaker 1>with a whole afternoon that had no purpose? What might

199
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:19.799
<v Speaker 1>you discover about yourself in that open, unstructured space. What

200
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.119
<v Speaker 1>is the cost of your busyness, not to your productivity,

201
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:30.440
<v Speaker 1>but to your soul? And what if, starting today, you

202
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>gave yourself permission to be enough? Not someday, but right now.

203
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:40.880
<v Speaker 1>You are not what you produce, You are not what

204
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:47.200
<v Speaker 1>you achieve. You are not your resume, your bank account,

205
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:54.960
<v Speaker 1>your productivity score. You are a human being, a being,

206
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:04.079
<v Speaker 1>not a doing, And you are enough exactly as you are,

207
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:12.000
<v Speaker 1>right now, in this moment. Always, if you hear that

208
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:16.319
<v Speaker 1>voice that says you need to do more, produce more,

209
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:21.440
<v Speaker 1>earn more. You can gently remind it that you've spent

210
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:27.839
<v Speaker 1>a lifetime proving yourself and that was enough. It was

211
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:32.880
<v Speaker 1>always enough, And now you can rest in the knowledge

212
00:20:33.359 --> 00:20:36.720
<v Speaker 1>that you don't have to earn the right to exist.

213
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:43.079
<v Speaker 1>You were born with it. It was yours before your

214
00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:48.880
<v Speaker 1>first breath, and it will be yours after your last.

215
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:53.160
<v Speaker 1>And when you step back out into the world, when

216
00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:59.079
<v Speaker 1>the demands come, when the list grows, when the voice

217
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:09.759
<v Speaker 1>starts again, remember this moment. Remember the stillness. Remember that

218
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:14.640
<v Speaker 1>you can return to it any time, that the porch

219
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:20.440
<v Speaker 1>is always there, that the light is always changing, and

220
00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 1>that you are always enough. Thank you for being here

221
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:29.000
<v Speaker 1>with me today. I'll see you again in the stillness,

222
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and until then, remember you are allowed to simply be.

224

00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:48.480
<v Speaker 1>your productivity.
