| 0:04.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:08.0 | And welcome to day two of our seven-part journey this week as we explore a theme. Many of you can relate to, in fact |
| 0:18.2 | this is by request, many times over, and the theme is getting unstuck. So your meditation technique |
| 0:29.1 | today will be an affirmation you can repeat to help you along your journey, whatever that journey is for you, as you think about a goal you want to accomplish or maybe a |
| 0:47.7 | relationship you want to initiate or a relationship you want to end or a new job or a move or relocation, whatever is making you feel a little stuck, honor your journey. So there is a book by Pima Chodron, who is an American female Buddhist monk. |
| 1:15.7 | And she wrote a book called Getting Unstuck |
| 1:20.4 | and she discusses in this book how it's important to be gentle with yourself and to accept feeling irritable or |
| 1:37.0 | feeling insecure and other feelings you may be experiencing and she discusses how it's important not to be too |
| 1:47.6 | harsh with yourself. Don't judge yourself if you feel you're stuck and you may feel as though you're procrastinating. |

| 2:18.6 | right now to work on it. And this is especially true if you think of people with young children, because young children involve so much focus and energy and they need you tremendously. |
| 2:39.2 | So I often see parents with young children or especially with new babies feeling like they're stuck, |
| 2:48.4 | but the time goes so quickly as children grow up and the best time you can spend is this time |
| 3:00.7 | giving this gift of your presence to your children and you can focus on your other big |
| 3:08.8 | goals later. In fact you'll have so much more incredible insight just from having raised children |
| 3:20.0 | when you do focus. At that time, when you have the capacity to fully be present and pursue a new goal. |
| 3:30.0 | So this is important because so many people feel lousy. You may feel like you see so many other people accomplishing their goals and |
| 3:48.8 | what's wrong with you? Why can't you move forward on this project or this move or this |
| 3:58.0 | relationship? But keep in mind that whatever you think about repeatedly you reinforce. So be gentle with |
