Good morning. Today's opening reflection is this. Breathing in, I get curious about what I'm seeking.

Breathing out, I look beneath surface wants. What I think I want might point to something deeper.

Let me ask.

If I want something specific, then you get it,

and you realize it didn't quite satisfy

what you were actually hungry for.

Sometimes we are reaching for things

that we hope will give us what we really need,

reaching for achievement. we hope will give us what we really need. Reaching for achievement.

When we want is just to feel like we belong.

Reaching for control.

When what we want is safety.

Reaching for perfection.

When what we want is acceptance.

Getting clear on the deeper hunger, it helps.

So throughout your day, ask yourself this,

what am I reaching for?

And what am I actually hungry?

Or underneath it all?

Now with that, today's mantra is this.

I can seek what I truly need, not just what I think I want.

Breathing in, I get curious about what I am seeking.
