| 0:00.0 | You are listening to episode 850. |
| 0:04.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:08.0 | I honor you for giving yourself this time today to slow down and connect to the best part of who you are. |
| 0:18.2 | That's the part that meditation brings out so beautifully. And in today's meditation |
| 0:25.0 | inspiration for your meditation ritual, |
| 0:29.0 | I am going to share with you a powerful affirmation. |
| 0:34.0 | And it is for a Monday. |
| 0:37.0 | I always share an affirmation every single Monday, |
| 0:40.0 | and I share a way for you to create a mindset and intention for the entire week. |
| 0:49.4 | So I'm Mary Meckley and I'm a meditation teacher who shares a different meditation technique every day on the podcast and each technique is customized around a weekly theme, so you get to explore a particular topic in depth and really master those qualities and bring them into your own life. |
| 1:12.0 | And I always share a way to make your meditation ritual a part of your everyday life. So you learn how to create a meditation lifestyle. |
| 1:29.2 | Well our theme this week is all about how to use meditation techniques to manage social anxiety. |
| 1:39.9 | And this is a very important topic because we all experience some amount of social anxiety. |

| 2:39.2 | our passions, and why many of us stay in our comfort zone. |
| 2:44.1 | I'm always amazed when I meet people who have never really traveled anywhere, |
| 2:51.0 | even though they have the means to do so, or they'll travel somewhere and they just stay in the hotel area. |
| 3:01.0 | They get an all-inclusive resort, and they just stay there. They eat there, they do all their |
| 3:06.3 | entertainment there, they might go on an excursion or two, but it's sponsored by the motel. They go into the hotel van and go somewhere and there's nothing wrong with that for sure, but I love to travel and live to have a real experience in different places. |
