Welcome to episode 3,038 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to

day three of this week's series on living sustainably.

It's an art to create sustainability in your life.

And in this week's series,

you're going to be guided into D's episode with a breathing

technique and this is a powerful breathing technique that I'll start you off with and I'll have you

continue with because you'll be inhaling and exhaling to the count of 30 and I won't guide you through that entire

count so I'll allow you to take it from there after I get you started on the breathing technique.

Well, first is your insight about this week's theme.

Now, you are also on a quest or a challenge this week where you are thinking about one way you can create

harmony in your life by living more sustainably. So for you this might be your week where you

research your care products in your home, your personal care products, to make sure that there aren't

so many toxins that may harm yourself and the environment or you might find that this is your week to do something

to really sustain a relationship in your life that's important to you. Maybe you commit to calling a

parent every evening or even once a week or starting your day off with breakfast, maybe even a silent breakfast.

That's an amazing way to connect with your loved ones is when you have breakfast in silence.

It's incredible how your non-verbal communication can speak volumes. Well, whatever you decide to do to create

sustainability in your life, and by that I I mean a way to anchor or deepen some aspect of your life

this is what creates a sustainable lifestyle. This is what allows you to remain anchored

when the different stressors in your life pop up or distractions or whatever else might be occurring in the world.

There's a lot of uncertainty these days and that can in itself be very distracting and disruptive.

So sustainability can add a layer of protection when you feel this kind of disruption.
