0:00.0	This is episode 2015 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you as you give
0:10.3	yourself permission to slow down today. Here you are. Getting ready to do one of the
0:19.2	best things you could possibly do for yourself as you cultivate a little more peace, energy, and clarity.
0:30.0	How are you doing? I challenge you this week. We are exploring the theme of joy and I
0:40.3	challenge you to give yourself a minute of joy.
0:46.3	Some of you are already doing that
0:49.0	and have let me know that.
0:51.6	Sometimes it's hard to do and some of the things you thought were going to be joyful

2:21.2	to give yourself some more joy. And here you are doing just exactly that. I also
2:28.5	want to mention another way that came up again and again to give yourself more joy.
2:38.0	And that was to feel more compassion and so I would like you to do something right now as you're
2:50.0	seated or maybe you're walking around doing errands as you listen to this.
2:55.0	Stop what you're doing for a moment and focus right at your heart and feel your heart begin to soften as you begin to relax.
3:20.0	And now send out compassion to our world right now. Send out compassion to those people who are struggling.
