| 0:00.0 | Good morning. Today's opening reflection is this. |
| 0:05.0 | Breathing in, I am without assessing. |
| 0:10.0 | Breathing out, I stop grading my performance. |
| 0:15.0 | I can just be here ungraded. |
| 0:19.0 | Let me ask, what if you went through today without constantly evaluating whether |
| 0:25.1 | you're doing it right? Every interaction gets graded, right? Every choice gets assessed. Well, that was |
| 0:34.3 | awkward. Or, ah, I handled that well. Or do we ever think, you know, I shouldn't have said that? |
| 0:44.2 | Constant performance reviews of your own life. |
| 0:48.0 | But what if you could just live it? |
| 0:51.1 | Without the running grade point average. |
| 0:57.7 | Here, ask yourself this throughout your day. |
| 1:07.5 | Can I exist without constantly evaluating my performance? And with that, today's mantra is this, |
| 1:19.2 | I can live ungraded. Breathing in, I am without assessing. Breathing out, I stop grading my performance. I can just be here ungraded. So today, let this be enough to begin. One breath, one step, one morning at a time. Have a most |
| 1:35.5 | wonder-filled day. Let's be real. Nobody asked to be a morning person, and yet here we are. |
| 1:46.0 | The good news is you can get one of these morning affirmations every weekday. |
