0:00.0	This is episode 2,161 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:08.0	I'm Mary Meckley and I'm so excited to share with you today's breathing technique.
0:15.9	This week, our theme we're exploring for full seven days
0:21.1	is breathing. Simply breathe. We've gone through a lot recently. We're still in the
0:28.7	midst of a pandemic and so this is a week to allow yourself to slow down and breathe. In each episode
0:40.4	this week you're going to discover a different breathing technique to help
0:46.2	you in a unique way. You learned how to calm your body and you also learned in yesterday's episode how to do a full
0:57.2	diaphrag breath a full belly breath in today's episode you are going to discover how to give yourself a confidence breath.
1:10.8	Your breath and your emotional state are intertwined.
1:16.0	So when you breathe a particular way,
1:19.0	and when you combine your breath with an affirmation, as you did in yesterday's episode and will continue

1:38.7	weeks, but especially if they've had a regular consistent ritual over several months,
1:45.0	even if they're just meditating five or ten or fifteen minutes at a time.

1:57.1	And I have to say that this was a surprise to me as well after I had meditated for a while. I didn't expect to feel more empowered or more
2:07.8	confident. But when you think about it, when you show up for yourself day in and day out, you are honoring yourself.
2:18.1	And when you honor yourself, you can't help but respect yourself and feel as though you're worth slowing down for.
2:27.6	In fact I share that with you at the end of every episode because it's so meaningful to me that that's how I began to feel. I began to
2:37.2	feel as though I was worth taking time for. So I hope that you enjoy this week's series of breathing techniques
2:48.0	and I hope that you begin to notice that you feel more confident about yourself as well.
2:55.0	I thought I would share with you before I guide you into your breathing technique for today.
