Summary
Be guided in a meditation to honor yourself for the choices you make as you strive to create more balance between work and life. You'll also discover how the herb ashwagandha may support stress relief as well as a whole host of other benefits.
This is part 6 of a 7-Part Work-Life Balance Series, Episodes 793-799.
As always, you don't have to do the meditation techniques -- they are simply there to help you transition from your busy day to a state of stillness. The techniques also help to calm "monkey mind," when your thoughts continuously interrupt your meditation.

| 0:05.0 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:09.0 | I congratulate you for giving yourself this time to meditate. Meditation is one of the best ways to relax your mind and body and to honor yourself as you do so. I'm Mary Meckley and I'm a meditation teacher who shares a different |
| 0:30.4 | meditation technique every day on the podcast. |
| 0:35.0 | Each technique is customized around a weekly theme, |
| 0:38.8 | and you get to experiment using different techniques that are customized especially for the |
| 0:46.0 | theme and this will give you a sense of what works best for you and you might surprise |
| 0:51.7 | yourself so I encourage you to be open-minded as you |
| 0:55.2 | explore different meditation techniques. The techniques work beautifully as you go |
| 1:01.6 | throughout your busy day because you can do them discreetly and these |

| 1:50.0 | Every single day this week we've explored a meditation technique to help you manage the often |
| 1:56.8 | elusive work life balance. It can be done. People are doing it, but it doesn't always come naturally. And the work life |

| 2:15.9 | where we seem to have it all together and then something happens and we kind of get off track with what we're doing and then we can feel as though |
