Change Your Thoughts

"When you have an unpleasant feeling, don't grab hold of it and turn it over and over."

~ Haemin Sunim, "The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down"

When someone believes in you, it can make you feel as though you could soar above the challenges that come your way. It often takes just one person to believe in you to help you achieve great things. This week you are introduced to your fellow meditator, Sarah Royale, a dance teacher, and owner of a dance studio in Liverpool, UK. During the first episode, you'll hear Sarah describe how she helps to empower young people to believe in themselves. This week you'll be guided to believe in yourself.

This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, Improve Your Confidence, episodes 2467-2473.
