Today's Meditation:

Find a quiet space, relax, and soften. Set a time for 10-20 minutes. Bring your attention into your breath and the vibration of your heart.

Silently to yourself, or out loud, repeat the mantra: "I am worthy. I deserve to be happy. I step into my power with love."

When your timer goes off, release your mantra and just be for as long as you can. Enjoy the way you feel. Make a choice to carry this feeling with you for as long as you can. Make a game out of it; see how long you can carry it. You have the power!
