0:00.0	This is episode 1,771. Welcome to the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you as you get ready to give yourself permission to slow down. In today's episode, I'll share with you a meditation technique you can do as you meditate.
0:26.9	And this is a technique that will help you to sleep better. Know that the full 30-minute
0:34.1	guided meditations are on the SIP and Ome meditation app. You can try it and receive
0:41.9	free access for two weeks to over 1,700 guided meditations. So if you would like to go a little
0:51.8	more deeply into this week's series, that's where you can
0:55.3	find the half-hour guided meditations at the Sipanome Meditation app. For today, as you consider

2:37.9	Also, when you wake up in the morning,
2:42.0	if you could spend a few moments in silence,
2:48.0	maybe before you even get up out of bed
2:50.5	and reflect over your day and think about
2:54.8	what points of the day, maybe things you have planned or people you'll meet, may cause you
3:04.3	challenges or stress and think about how you could manage your stress.
3:14.3	Maybe by doing a meditation technique.
3:18.3	Maybe by doing something that you really enjoy before or after the moments you know will be difficult.
3:31.0	The other day, I had a doctor's appointment that I was dreading, and the appointment was
