| 0:05.5 | Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:10.3 | I'm Mary Megley, and I honor you for being here as you get ready to meditate. |
| 0:19.0 | In today's episode, you're going to discover how to stay motivated when you |
| 0:26.7 | begin to lose hope that you can actually achieve the goals and resolutions and the big dreams |
| 0:35.9 | you are pursuing this year. |
| 0:39.5 | You may find that your resolutions that started off with a bang are beginning to diminish. |

| 3:00.3 | project that's more task oriented, such as maybe you're going to run your first marathon or your |
| 3:07.2 | 10th marathon, then you know what |
