this is just for you

Matt Rodin Radio

Use this to remind yourself. Use this to slow down. Use this to check in. Use this to check out. This is just for you.

it’s hard to find the words to say
the ones that will make you remember who, where, how, why, and what you are
that’s what this is
a reminder
that no matter what’s happening today or what happened yesterday or what you think will happen tomorrow
the only thing you need to do right now is just be here, in this moment

the present is always available to you
and your ticket back to here is your breath

it’s an anchor you can drop at anytime
if you can notice your breath, you don’t have to change it, just lend it some attention - that moment of quiet is pure nowness

instead of TRYING to calm down, can you just allow yourself to breath like your body knows how to

relaxation is not reserved for vacation or sleep or sitting on the couch watching Netflix - you can feel ease in anything and everything you do

by practicing awareness you’re giving your mind a break from all that noise - the worry the jealously the negative fear-based thoughts that wear on your spirit

that quiet place where your breath brings you back to - is love - and a return to love is a return to you

you are love. you are worthy of love and you are deserving of love simply because you are human.

you are human. you are going to fuck it up - you probably already have. but every experience is a learning opportunity. it’s growth that’s inching you closer to your truth. pain + reflection = progress and in those moments that feel like the ground is falling out from under you, remember that you have your breath and you can have gratitude.

and when you choose gratitude, you are choosing love, you are choosing you.

life is an illusion created by your perception - and it can be changed if you choose to change it - your entire experience in this time and this place is determined by how you choose to perceive your reality.

so if you can choose love over fear, and you CAN choose love over fear - you will find your life expanding in ways you could never have imagined

you can chose, right now, to just breathe. you can feel the air hitting your nostrils on the way in. you can notice what part of your body is expanding with each inhalation.

each of these small, easy check-ins are always available to you. just as love is always within you. and no matter where you go or what you do, you are always somewhere on the path back to love - right where you’re supposed to be.

this moment right now is just for you
