We all have those moments of overwhelm. The ones in which we feel like we're deep in a tunnel with no way out. Decision fatigue takes over and we fervently seek answers to our questions from outside sources, sometimes dangerously relying on whichever one comes our way first. By using these external sources as band-aides to our discomfort, it may help in the moment, but we inevitably find ourselves back here again once faced with our next challenge. What if instead we quieted the outside noise and looked within for the guidance and roadmap that was there all along. Planting instead the seed of surrender in order to make the most succinct decision direct from our soul.

Hello my friend,

This is Hanna-Marie Todd,

And I'm here to sit with you in a few moments of surrender.

Maybe you are landing here now because there is much chaos outside of you,

And you are seeking some calm.

And right here,

Right now,

I can tell you,

This is exactly where you are meant to be.

Take a deep inhale breath through your nose.

Exhale out your mouth,

Let that go.

Another breath,

Inhale,

Fill up from the bottom of your belly,

Expand,

Expand,

Inhale.

Exhale out your mouth,

Let that go.

One final breath here,

My friend,

Inhale from the bottoms of your feet,

Up your legs,

Your torso,

Expand,

Inhale,

Inhale.

Hold at the top,

Inhale 5% more.

Exhale let something go.

We are so busy in our minds,

So busy in our lives,

We become disconnected.

We become disconnected from self,

From ourselves,

From who we truly are.

And we stop trusting.

We stopped trusting ourselves because the voices outside of us have become so loud that ours has become intertwined with them.

And we've become confused on which voice is our own.

And so in this moment,

This my friend is your opportunity to quiet,

To quiet the outside,

To come back within.

Because this home is here for you.

This deeper knowing of who you are,

Of the decisions you need to make,

They are here.

They are underneath the layers of the voices of everyone else outside of you.

And in order to tap in,

You must come back to your self.

Take a deep inhale breath through your nose,

Exhale,

Full breath in,

Inhale,

Exhale.

Last one here my friend,

Inhale,

Fill up,

Exhale.

Imagine now sinking a little bit deeper into your body,

Into your heart space now.

This heart that beats for you,

That shows up for you every single day without you giving it much thought.

It is here for you.

This own unique rhythm reminding you that you are here,

That you my friend are alive.

And in this knowing,

There is no failure.

There are only learnings because you are still here.

This beating heart is here to remind you,

You are still here and you are human.

And in order to be here and experience all that we can experience,

All that we are meant to experience,

We must sometimes navigate big challenges,

Navigate struggles and difficulties that sometimes we don't know if we will make it to the other side.

But I'm here to tell you my friend that you will,

That you will,

That you have before and you will again.

If you are here listening to this right now,

Let this be a reminder to you that you have survived 100% of your hardest days and you will continue to do so.

Take a deep inhale breath,

Exhale.

Another breath in,

Inhale,

Exhale.

Last one here,

Fill up,

Inhale,

Exhale.

And as we sink deeper into our gut,

Into this place of knowing who we are,

What is something here my friend that you need to hear right now?

What is it that you need to hear?

Fill up with that answer,

Inhale that answer,

Inhale,

Exhale.

Another breath my friend here,

Inhale.

Last one,

Stay with that answer,

Inhale.

Remember that this feeling my friend,

This knowing,

This strength is here for you,

Available to you at any moment in time.

And that life,

Through life,

There will be chaos,

There will be challenges,

There will be struggle,

But you,

You have this strength within you.

This internal navigation system to come back to.

This deeper knowing of who you are,

This bigger picture map of where you are going.

Do not forget,

It is here.

And so my friend,

Surrender to the rest,

Surrender,

Surrender,

Surrender.
