About this episode
A no isn't the end of the road. Today's meditation reframes rejection as a question rather than a verdict — an invitation to keep listening, keep asking and keep moving toward the yeses that lie ahead.

0:00A poche production. Good morning, I'm Jennifer Cray, host of Your Morning Mountain Tra. Today's meditation explores receiving a no, and how we can use this for fuel rather than letting it get the better of us. Your morning mantra, rejection is just a question. Let's begin. If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax your jaw,
1:06relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention to your breath. Drawing your breath down into your belly. When we gain the courage to ask for something, and we receive a no, we may feel deflated, rejected. But we can take heart. For the no, is really just asking us a question. Are we sure we want to continue to pursue this path?
2:08Are we willing to keep going? To see what lies beyond the no. Maybe we learn something through the no. Gentle, constructive feedback that we can grow from. We will receive many opportunities, and we won't be able to say yes to all of them. Much the same as others won't always be able to say yes to us. No's aren't personal. No's make sure we are still listening.
3:12We are still willing to follow our hearts. To push through the negativity, pass the no, and to all the yeses that lie beyond. Today's mantra, rejection is just a question. Or in your mind, rejection is just a question. Bringing your awareness back to your breath, breathing in and out of your heart space. May you be happy. May you be well.
4:14May you be free from stress, worry, fear, and anxiety. And may your life be truly blessed. Bring your awareness back to the space around you. Slowly open your eyes. You are creating a life you love. To increase self-awareness and growth, I invite you to listen to this evening's reflection. You can also deepen your practice with me on Insight Timer.
