0:00.0	Well, hello there. My name is Morgan Harper-Nichols. I'm an artist and a writer, and this is a space where I share words that I hope can make a little room for you to slow down and take a few deep breaths as you prepare for whatever lies ahead. Thanks for being here today. And now on to today's episode.
0:32.3	Perhaps this is a way that you can feel your best this week, no matter what happens.
0:41.4	Slow down and take the time to notice something beautiful about yourself. Let us be a practice of recognizing the way light shines through right here where you are. May you know that you don't have to wait
0:50.2	to be acknowledged by others before you see what is beautiful about yourself.
0:56.5	As wonderful as it may be to receive kind and encouraging words from others,
1:02.4	you are beautiful and filled with light, whether or not you receive their words.
1:09.5	So let this be the day. You breathe deep and declare,
1:13.9	I am beautiful. Trust that it's okay to practice speaking it, even if you're struggling to feel

1:59.0	You don't have to wait for others to recognize your beauty
2:04.5	before you can say, I am beautiful. So as you carry on throughout this week, throughout the rest of
2:13.6	September, I hope that you can notice the beauty of every tree, every falling leaf,
2:21.6	every moment you feel a gentle breeze, and the way music feels as it finds your ears,
2:29.6	recognizing beauty in all of its many shapes, knowing that you are beautiful all the same.
2:38.3	And knowing that even the process of discovering or reconnecting with the wonderful reality that you are beautiful is beautiful too.
2:49.1	The fact that you're choosing to no longer rely on what other
2:54.4	people think about your appearance, about how you are perceived in the world, is an act of courage
3:02.7	that is beautiful and whole and worth being grateful for and celebrating on a daily basis.
3:10.3	So whether you find yourself to be someone who is affected by how others see you or how they
