Good morning. Today's opening reflection is this.

I'm breathing in. I noticed the scale I'm adding.

Breathing out, I let things be ordinary sized.

Not everything is as big as my story makes it.

Are you listening?

Well, let me ask,

how often do you make a regular moment enormous just by the way you narrate it?

We all do.

But a simple conversation becomes a defining moment in the relationship.

Or a minor setback becomes proof I always fail.

Or a nice day becomes the start of everything changing.

But maybe it's just, maybe it's just a conversation.

Maybe it's just a setback.

Maybe it is a nice day.

Your narration inflates it.

The moment itself is smaller.

So throughout your day, ask yourself this. what am I making bigger than it actually is?

Through my narration.

And with that, today's mantra is this.

I can let moments be the size they actually are.

Because it's true. Breathing in, I notice the scale I'm adding breathing out

and let things be ordinary sized not everything is as big as my story makes it so
