| 0:00.0 | Hello, how are you doing as you get ready to do one of the most important things you could |
| 0:06.7 | do for yourself all day? And that is to give yourself a little more peace, energy and |
| 0:13.6 | clarity as you meditate. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Mechley and this |
| 0:21.6 | is episode 2,918. This is day two of the series. We're exploring this week. You are being guided |
| 0:33.2 | with the insight and meditation techniques from your fellow meditator Andrea Nicolette Gonzales. |
| 0:42.2 | And she selected the theme, the art of not giving up. And you can listen to her interview in yesterday's |
| 0:51.6 | episode and get to know her a little better. Well today I'll share some insight prompted by the |
| 1:00.3 | interview with Andrea as well as an affirmation that Andrea selected. It is in fact an affirmation that |
| 1:11.1 | she repeats every day and she was a little hesitant to share it at first because this affirmation |
| 1:19.9 | means a lot to her. I like this affirmation because it's concise and that is the best way to |

| 2:05.0 | great time to repeat an affirmation. But really the best time to repeat an affirmation is when |
| 2:11.5 | you think about it. So this is a great affirmation for you to repeat, to feel confident and empowered. |
| 2:21.2 | And this affirmation certainly helped Andrea on her recent quest that she started during the |
| 2:30.4 | pandemic. I had issued the quest challenge during the pandemic and she took me up on it. But it |
| 2:38.6 | didn't happen overnight. Your quest is a journey and it could take some time for you to achieve |
| 2:48.8 | what you're questing for. Or it may happen more quickly. For Andrea during the pandemic, |
| 2:56.0 | like most of us, she had a lot of time to think. So when I issued the quest, she thought about |
| 3:05.7 | what is it that she really would like to do. And she realized that she wanted to resume her love and |
