| 0:00.0 | Relax. Concentrate on your breathing, hanging in the cold air because your boil is broken, |
| 0:11.8 | but no need to worry. With British gas home care cover, you can get your boiler repaired |
| 0:18.2 | again and again. Repeat our mantra, home care. |
| 0:26.0 | Such British gas home care cover. See website for turns. |
| 0:56.1 | You've had a challenge. And I wonder how your challenge is coming along. Your challenge |
| 1:01.6 | has been to look for the ordinary miracles in everyday life. So as you've gone through |
| 1:11.4 | the series in each episode, I've shared with you a journal prompt. I know many of you |
| 1:19.4 | enjoy journaling and the journal prompt had the same theme that I would guide you through |
| 1:28.5 | in that day's meditation. So you have been exploring many aspects of ordinary miracles. |

| 2:39.9 | feeling yourself closed down or to feel stuck in regard to a particular situation or even a |
| 2:51.6 | situation with someone who may be really negative in your life. You'll also be guided as you |
| 3:00.2 | focus on this past week to celebrate your big wins as well as those moments that were difficult. |
| 3:09.3 | These are your lessons that can be just as valuable, sometimes even more so, than the times |
| 3:16.9 | when you felt as though you were able to feel positive despite a negative situation. So let's |
