I Don’t Need to Know What Comes Next

0:00A Poche Production Hey, it's Katie Matten here, your new host of Your Morning Mantra. Today's meditation is about becoming comfortable with not having the whole plan and focusing instead on the next step in front of you. Your Morning Mantra, I don't need to know what comes next. Ease into a comfortable position and take a deep breath. Slowly stretch your neck, moving your head from one side to the other, releasing the tension, and let your shoulders drop. Take a deep breath in and slowly let it go.

1:02Who decide what you need to do today and take a moment for yourself? You deserve it. We often want the whole map before we begin. We want to know where this decision will take us, whether the opportunity will work, whether the relationship will last, whether the risk will be worth it, we want certainty before we move. But life really gives us that kind of guarantee. Most of the time we can only see the next step and perhaps that is enough. Think about how many important moments in your life began without you knowing where they would lead. A conversation, an introduction, a new job, a decision, a chance.

2:08You simply took the next step, then another, and eventually a path appeared. You don't need to understand the whole journey to begin. Today instead of asking where will this lead, ask yourself what it feels like to take the right step, then trust yourself enough to take it. Today's mantra, I don't need to know what comes next. Repeat to yourself either out loud or in your mind, I don't need to know what comes next. Carry this calm with you throughout your day. You do not need to hold every worry. You do not need to predict every outcome. Just breathe and trust yourself. I'll see this afternoon for our reflection.
