Calm it Down Podcast: Morning Affirmations - Let the Moment Be Smaller Than You Think

Good morning. Today's opening reflection is this.

Breathing in, I noticed a scale I'm adding. Breathing out, I let things be ordinary-sized.

Not everything is as big as my story makes it. Are you listening? Let me ask. How often

do you make a regular moment enormous just by the way you narrate it? We all do.

But a simple conversation becomes a defining moment in the relationship, or a minor setback

becomes proof I always fail. Or a nice day just becomes the start of everything changing.

Maybe it's just a conversation. Maybe it's just a setback. Maybe it is a nice day. Your

narration inflates it. The moment itself is smaller. So throughout your day, ask yourself

this. What am I making bigger than it actually is through my narration? And with that today's

mantra is this. I can let moments be the size they actually are, because it's true.

Breathing in, I notice the scale I'm adding. Breathing out, I let things be ordinary-sized.

Not everything is as big as my story makes it. So today, let this be enough to begin. One breath,

one step, one morning at a time. Have a most wonderful day.
