  Speaker 1: Hey everyone, welcome back to this week's Mojo Monday. So
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: life is always changing, even if it feels like one
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: day blends into the next, nothing is ever truly the same.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: So if you think about a sunset every evening, it
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: looks different, It's still a sunset, but there's all these differences.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: So the colors, the clouds, the light, no two are
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: ever identical. And we are just like that. So you
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: are not the same person that you were yesterday or
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: last week or last year. And our circumstances, our bodies,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: our minds are forever evolving. But while there is all
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: that change happening, it's worth asking the question what never changes?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: What truth sits so deep in your heart that no
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: matter what life throws at you, they remain steady. What
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: values or commitments ground you when everything else feels uncertain.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: So for me, one of those constants is my love
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: for my family. And as every parent knows, the love
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you feel for your kids is unconditional, So no matter
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: what happens, they will always have my love and support.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: So even on a day that is full of stress
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: or when I'm feeling exhausted, I'll always make time to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: check in with them and sometimes it's the last thing
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I feel like doing because I'm so wrapped up in
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: what's going on for me. But it's also something that's
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: bigger than how I'm feeling in that moment. And another
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: is a commitment to looking after my body, the health
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of my body and my mind. And that doesn't mean
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: things always look the same each day. That's an expectation
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that can't be met because we know life is forever changing.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So sometimes it's trained hard. Sometimes it's pulling back. Other
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: times it's having a rest day or nourishing myself well,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: or if I'm not well, it's ensuring my body gets
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: what it needs to recover. But I'll always do something
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to support my health within the circumstances that I'm in.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: So those are two of my guidings does So I'm
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: wondering what are yours? Can you name your top three?
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So with life forever shifting, what is it that anchors you?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Because without these solid foundations, it's really easy to get
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: swept away when life throws us curveballs. These are the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: things that keep us grounded and the things that we
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: can turn to when we're going through our challenges. So
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: as you go throughout this week, take a moment to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: reflect on your own constants, like even write them down,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: carry them with you because when life inevitably changes, and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: it always does, those are the values that are going
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to hold you steady and guide you forward. So thanks
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: for tuning in. I hope you all have a great
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: week everyone, and I will catch you next week. See ya,
