| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I honor you for showing up for yourself today. It takes |
| 0:10.4 | a lot of courage to sit down or even just to slow down. If you are listening to this as you go about your day, it's all good. We all start our slowdown journey in our own way. |
| 0:31.0 | I know for myself, I thought I could never meditate but when I started to sit and |
| 0:38.9 | sip tea when I lived in Japan and worked for a corporation there in Tokyo and there were built-in |
| 0:48.2 | tea breaks, I started to notice that I did so much better focusing and feeling more connected when I would slow down throughout my day, just take these |
