Let's take a moment to appreciate
the things that have been
happening in your life recently.
Today's theme is appreciating
the gift of patience.
As always, if you'd like to journal along,
you can pause after each prompt to give
yourself more time to write and reflect.
First, let's take a deep breath in.
And out.
In our busy lives, with so many
places to be and things to do,
it's easy to become impatient.
When we intentionally recognize the
small interruptions or delays in
our days as an opportunity to pause
and slow down, we can begin to build
up our capacity to be more patient,
flexible, and present in our daily life.
Think of something that
happened today that took longer
than you thought it should.
This could be something like your commute
to work, a meeting, or a daily task.
What was your initial reaction?
How can you show compassion for
yourself in a moment like that?
Looking back on this moment, was there
something unexpected that brought
you happiness while waiting - like
a favorite song on the radio, an
unexpected connection, or a sense of
satisfaction from a job well done?
Now with this in mind,
repeat the following phrases:
Thank you for unplanned pauses.
Thank you for the chance
to stop and notice beauty.
Thank you for my growing
ability to be with uncertainty.
Thank you for pleasant surprises
that find me in challenging moments.
To end this session, let's
take a deep breath in.
And out.
We'll see you back here tomorrow
for another gratitude practice.

Just a small sample of the life-changing 5-star reviews we get on a daily basis.
Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.

I love how the app gives me pointers to new things to explore.

So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.
- Gina, Plus+ Member
I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
- Babi
You get a lot of useful tips for handling stress and anxiety in 'real life'.

Highly recommend.

Kelly Boys is hands down the best. Everytime I click on one of her guided meditations I get excited for the calmness that lies ahead.
