| 0:00.0 | This is episode 2,398 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.2 | I'm Mary Mechley, and welcome back to day two of our series this week. |
| 0:12.8 | We're exploring the theme of inner self-care for renewal. |
| 0:19.8 | We could all use a little self-care for renewal these days, and that is why I'm sharing this theme with you. |
| 0:27.8 | And you have a challenge this week, just as you do in every series, your weekly challenge is to every day |
| 0:37.8 | empower yourself in some way, tune into what your mind and your body and your soul are trying to tell you |
| 0:51.1 | what is it that you need for self-care. |
| 0:55.0 | And I am sharing with you a self-care step in each episode. |
| 1:03.0 | Your self-care step for today is to eat right for self-care. |

| 2:07.1 | As such, these deficiencies can lead to degenerative diseases. |
| 2:12.5 | Not only the United States experiences these deficiencies in food, but all around the world, food quality is diminishing. |
| 2:24.5 | So this week, as you do self-care, focus on the quality of food that you eat. |
| 2:32.5 | And if you could incorporate one habit, such as maybe eating organically, maybe you already eat organically, |
| 2:41.5 | or maybe you could eliminate something that you're currently eating that you know is not great for you, such as many of the packaged foods. |
| 2:52.5 | So think about this. |
