Summary
"Knowing our minds is just as important as trying to change the world."
~ Haemin Sunim, "The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down"
When someone believes in you, it can make you feel as though you could soar above the challenges that come your way. It often takes just one person to believe in you to help you achieve great things. This week you are introduced to your fellow meditator, Sarah Royale, a dance teacher, and owner of a dance studio in Liverpool, UK. During the first episode, you'll hear Sarah describe how she helps to empower young people to believe in themselves. This week you'll be guided to believe in yourself.
This is day 3 of a 7-day meditation series, Improve Your Confidence, episodes 2467-2473.

| 0:00.0 | This is episode 2469 of Your Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.3 | I'm Mary Mechley and I welcome you to day three of our series this week. |
| 0:13.7 | This week our theme is all about improving confidence and in day one of this week's series, |
| 0:24.8 | you met a fellow meditator Sarah Royale and she shared with you how she struggled with anxiety |
| 0:33.3 | when she was younger and she didn't know what to do about it. There wasn't a lot of conversation |
| 0:40.7 | happening about how to reduce stress, how to relax and manage anxiety and so she suffered |
| 0:48.8 | through her anxious moments. Now that she owns her own dance studio in Wellington |
| 0:57.5 | in the UK, she's able to help young people manage their own anxiety. |
| 1:05.4 | Many of the meditation techniques you're exploring this week are selected by Sarah and you can |
| 1:14.4 | reach out to Sarah by going to her Instagram at Sarah Royale School of Dance and that is S-A-R-A-H-R-O-Y-A-L-E |
| 1:30.4 | School of Dance. In today's episode, you're going to be guided using Sarah's favorite breathing |
| 1:38.6 | technique and this is a simple breathing technique that you are likely able to remember to do |
| 1:46.3 | when you're feeling your own anxiety. Simple is always the best. One reason why I like to share |
| 1:56.0 | simple meditation techniques is because when you're at your most stressed, you're not likely to |
| 2:03.5 | remember a complex breathing technique. The only thing you need to remember about today's |
| 2:11.1 | breathing technique is the number four and that's because you will be inhaling to the count of four, |
| 2:20.9 | holding your breath in a pause to the count of four, exhaling to the count of four and you can |
| 2:29.6 | repeat this breathing technique four times. Now you can also do this technique to any count |
| 2:37.9 | that feels best for you. You can lengthen the count maybe to the count of six or eight |
| 2:45.2 | or you could do it to the count of two or even three. Always honor where you are and I'm sharing |
| 2:54.6 | a little insight from one of Sarah's favorite authors and that is Heyman Sunim from his book |
| 3:02.9 | How to Be Calm and Mindful in a Fast Paced World. So I invite you to settle yourself down |
