I Stop Saving the Good Things for Later

0:00A Poche Production Hey, it's Katie Matten here, your new host of Your Morning Mantra. Today's meditation is about enjoying the things you already have, instead of always saving them for a special occasion that may never arrive. Your Morning Mantra, I stop saving the good things for later. 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.

1:07Who decide what you need to do today and take a moment for yourself? You deserve it. Maybe you have the nice candle you never burn. The clothes you're saving for somewess special. The beautiful glasses that stay in the cupboard. The restaurant you keep saying you'll visit one day. Or the trip you keep promising you'll take when life comes down. We can spend so much time saving things for later, waiting for the perfect moment, the right occasion, or some future version of our lives.

2:08But ordinary days are your life too. Today can be the special occasion you don't need a reason to wear the nice outfit. Open the good bottle, use the beautiful things, or make the plan you've been talking about. It doesn't need to be earned, and the things you love were meant to be enjoyed. Not simply saved. Today choose something you've been keeping for later, and ask yourself why not now? Today's mantra, I stop saving the good things for later. Take to yourself either out loud or in your mind. I stop saving the good things for later.

3:20Carry 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 you this afternoon for our reflection.
