Our Empowerment Comes From This Moment - Mindful Moment

Welcome friends to another Mindful Moment.
Let’s settle in.
Connect to our breath.
Relax into the body.

Your eyes can remain open if this is a mindful moment of pause and reflection,
or closed for a guided meditation.

Today we are going to acknowledge how far we’ve come in life.

Looking into the future, we forget to be in the moment.
We forget to recognize the progress we’ve made.


Even if you are in a challenging space, you’ve still come a long way.
It’s easy to think of what we haven’t done yet, or have yet to accomplish.
What we ‘should’ be doing or what things are ‘supposed’ to look like.

Our empowerment comes from this moment.
Embracing and accepting of this moment.

Can you allow yourself some credit for your work thus far?

Can you quiet the voice that says you should be in a different place?

Let’s look back briefly…. 6 months, a year, 5 years…
There is no doubt that you are a diff person today.

On your next inhale let’s offer gratitude and recognition for who we are in this moment.

We often fixate on the future and ruminate on the past…. neither of which exist. But we can use them briefly as a reference for our journey.

Imagine taking a moment to rest during a mountain hike. We pause to see how far we’ve come, enjoy the view and marvel at our progress. We can also look ahead and see the path before us, but let’s not stay there. Let’s appreciate the hard work, dedication, and all the learning thus far. Enjoy the view…. It’s spectacular.

You’ve come a long way baby.
You’ve experienced so much change.
So many transitions.
And still, you are growing.
You are doing the best you can.
There is even more expanding, exploring and evolving to come.
And it will happen in its aligned time.
You are exactly where you are and there is no mistake.

Let’s inhale some self appreciation and love.
Exhale all expectation.

One more time, inhale, self respect and acceptance.
Exhale pressure and judgement.

Feel your progress. Smile in recognition of all your work.
You are doing great.
You are doing so great…

We will continue our path up the mountain of life, one step at a time. And along the journey, may you remember to pause, and acknowledge your progress and also enjoy the view.

Walking with you and savoring this moment, from heart to yours!
