Welcome to episode 1,836 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I honor you for giving yourself this time today to slow down and connect to the best part of who you are.

In today's episode, I want to congratulate you.

You have reached the final episode of our week-long series to trust yourself.

This is part of a four-part series in a confidence collection.

Tomorrow we launch into a new confidence theme

and the theme is how others perceive you, how others can trust you.

So as you close out this week's series, I hope you will celebrate today.

I like to celebrate by meditating outside. I meditate outside as often as I can. I know it's not always

possible to meditate outside, but if you could meditate outside at least once a week you will take your

meditation to the next level. Also at the very final episode of a series, I encourage you to spend a little longer meditating.

For me, this is always on a Saturday because I record the final episode in a series on a

Saturday. A brand new series always starts on a Sunday as you launch into a new week and today may not be a

Saturday for you but if you could sit in stillness and celebrate.

Honor yourself for all the work you've been doing

all week long as you trusted yourself. I am going to share with you what I

always do in the final episode and that is a reflection back over your week. When you

reflect back over your week you gain awareness and this awareness is a treasure full of gems of how you

lived your life throughout the week.

And when you assess how you managed your emotions,

what worked for you, and what was difficult for you throughout the week, you begin to progress in life and in your meditation ritual and in managing

your emotions and you become happier and managing your

happier and more confident in life and you trust yourself more.
