Good morning. Today's opening reflection is this. Breathing in, I honor my evolution.

Breathing out, I resist shrinking to fit old expectations. I can change even when others want me to stay the same. It's true. Well, let me ask,

have you noticed people getting uncomfortable as you change? They liked the old version,

the predictable one.

Now you're setting boundaries.

You're making different choices.

You're showing up differently.

And they're confused, maybe even hurt.

Definitely resistant.

But you're not responsible for making your growth comfortable for them. Did you hear that?

You're not responsible for making your growth comfortable for them. So throughout your day, ask yourself this.

Am I shrinking myself to ease someone else's discomfort with my growth?

And with that, today's mantra is this.

I can grow even when it makes others uncomfortable. I'm going to say that again.

I can grow even when it makes others uncomfortable. Breathing in, I honor my evolution.

Breathing out, I resist shrinking to fit old expectations.

I can change even when others want me to stay the same.

So today, let this be enough to begin. One breath, one step, one morning at a time.

Have a most wonder-filled day. Hey, by the way, if you into these morning information, guess what? You can get one
