| 0:00.4 | How are you doing? I hope you are enjoying this week's series. We just launched the series |
| 0:07.5 | with an interview from a fellow meditator, AB Wiler, who lives in Israel, and you can |
| 0:16.2 | listen to the interview with AB in yesterday's episode. Today, I welcome you to the Daily Meditation |
| 0:25.9 | podcast, and I'm Mary Meckley, and this is episode 2,932. You're going to be guided in a meditation |
| 0:37.6 | using an affirmation that AB wanted to share with you. So our theme he selected for the week is |
| 0:47.2 | to be less critical. So the affirmation is, I'm doing the best I can, and your best is enough. |
| 0:59.2 | I'm going to share a little insight with you and then guide you in this affirmation meditation. |
| 1:06.0 | If you listen to AB's interview, you may recall when he talks about how his partner is from South |
| 1:16.2 | America, and he shares how he feels she has this innate sense of compassion. She's very heart-centered. |
| 1:26.4 | He shared how he feels this has a lot to do with her culture, and he talks about how he is more |

| 1:58.6 | are much more heart-centered, and I've spent time in Latin America, and I can understand what he's |
| 2:05.1 | referring to, where it is very heart-centered. And then I spent five years living in Japan, |
| 2:16.1 | and it was more mental. Of course, you find many heart-centered people, but generally speaking, |
| 2:24.2 | people didn't express or share their emotions so much. To give you an example, I remember one time |
| 2:32.1 | I took a wrong bus ride. When I was in Mexico, I was going to see some pyramids, and I was completely |
| 2:42.6 | on the wrong bus, and the unfortunate part is that a bus was not available to take me back |
| 2:49.6 | to the city I was traveling from. But there was this Good Samaritan on the bus, who helped me |
| 2:59.6 | get back. He actually helped me to find a ride back to the city that I was from. He's the one who |
| 3:08.9 | actually told me that I was on the wrong bus, and he got off the bus with me. He made sure that I |
