In this heartfelt return episode, Dr. Cindy Briggs opens up about stepping back from podcasting and the entrepreneurial world for a season of rest and reflection. She shares why it's okay—and necessary—for entrepreneurs to pause, reset, and protect their well-being. Now recharged and refocused, Cindy outlines her renewed vision for the podcast and how she plans to use her social media platforms to provide value, inspiration, and practical tools for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and leaders. Whether you've been a longtime listener or you're just tuning in, this episode is your inside look at what's next for The Business Professor brand.

In this Q&A episode, I answer real questions from interior designers covering the challenges we all face in building sustainable design businesses. From pricing confidence and marketing strategy to speaking opportunities and avoiding burnout, this episode tackles the practical issues that keep designers up at night. If you've ever wondered about charging what you're worth or felt stuck between beginner and expert, this conversation offers both validation and actionable guidance.Hope you enjoy the episodeBeth xxQuestion 1: Building Pricing ConfidenceA designer reached out feeling stuck between charging what she thinks her services are worth versus what she thinks clients will pay. This common struggle often comes down to confidence in your systems and processes. The first part of this is about mindset and about how you think of yourself as a designer and a business owner, but you can't really have good mindset around this without having strong systems and processes to have the business set up beneath you as a strong foundation.The key insight: There can be two designers who are equally talented, but the one who provides a seamless client experience is perceived as having greater value. Part of our role is creating a process that is stress-free, with clear communication and professionalism.Question 2: Marketing in the Right PlacesA Perth-based designer doing corporate work (office fit-outs, hair salons) was spending significant time on Instagram without seeing results. The disconnect? Her clients weren't finding her through Instagram—they were coming through word-of-mouth referrals within the industry. We got talking about thinking when it comes to marketing, am I talking to my potential clients in the space where they are at?The lesson: Consider how many leads you actually need per year and whether your current marketing efforts can realistically generate that number. Sometimes a targeted approach works better than trying to be everywhere.Question 3: Taking Speaking OpportunitiesWhen a designer was approached to speak at an expo but wasn't sure if it was the right fit, my advice was clear: unless it's obviously wrong for you, say yes.You never know who is listening and who is watching. If you get approached to do a speaking gig or maybe on a panel or on a podcast, I really encourage you to take it because it's a great opportunity to show your skill and build your authority in the space.Question 4: Moving to the Next LevelA designer feeling stuck between beginner and expert asked how to reach the next stage of running a confident business. The answer involves several key elements:Mindset: Having confidence that you're good enough and that opportunities will come your way for a business of that level.Mentorship: Finding someone who can help you build your business to the next step, whether through formal coaching or informal relationships.Investment: Putting money into business-building tools like better photography, branding, or systems that you couldn't afford when starting out.Systems and Processes: There is absolutely no business that can go to the next level if their systems and processes are not in place. Having bad systems and processes or no systems and processes in place is absolutely putting a ceiling on your business.Question 5: Growing Without Burning OutA Townsville designer whose business had grown significantly was feeling exhausted and starting to resent it. The solution involves several strategies:Define Success for You: Making sure that you're working towards what success is for you is super important. Success should be defined by your personal values, not external factors.Set Boundaries: Create clear boundaries between you and clients, and around your projects and how you work.Permission to Pause: It is okay to pause, to put the out of office on and say I'm just taking some time to catch up on some things. Sometimes stepping back is exactly what's needed.The Power of CommunityThroughout this Q&A, one theme emerges clearly: There's no one perfect way to run a design business, but there are shared experiences. There is wisdom in community, and there's so much power in hearing someone say, 'me too.'This episode demonstrates that the challenges you're facing aren't unique to you—they're part of the journey of building a design business. The key is having the right support, systems, and mindset to navigate them successfully. Want to work together?

PAUSE There are days and weeks when you're overburdened, when there's just too much to do, and too little time to do it. PAUSE Keeping with the peace inside you, Imagine a clock on the wall ticking away, A clock telling you how much time you have for this and for that. PAUSE Draw a deep breath, and breathe into the clock. Breathe into it  until you see, The hands of the clock gently letting go, and sailing away. PAUSE Now, visualize yourself removing the clock from the wall,  Setting in a box, and closing the lid. PAUSE After you close the box, Feel yourself growing strong and taking charge. PAUSE Visualize yourself deciding when and how each thing on your to-do list will happen. And each time you decide, Take a deep breath, and hear: “I let all the stress go.” PAUSE  It's whispered in the air again: “I let all the stress go.” PAUSE It's all around you gently saying: “I let all the stress go.” PAUSE Now, visualize those words Sinking into you, Flowing like a river, and finding their way  to your heart. PAUSE Now, gently fold your hands as if in prayer. and as you do, Hear the words:   “I let all the stress go.” PAUSE NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL

I promise others are listening,  They're singing along with you. PAUSE… You matter so much, To others around you now.  You matter so much, To those you don't even know.

Become aware of the intricacies of your breath.  PAUSE… Feel the cool air on your nose as you breathe in, And the warm air on your nose as you breathe out.  PAUSE… Notice your belly rise with every inhale, And fall with every exhale.  PAUSE… See if you can expand your breath. Inhaling a little deeper each time you breathe in, And exhaling a little longer each time you breathe out.  PAUSE… Slow it all down, Sinking deeper and deeper, Releasing more and more, Feeling lighter and lighter, As you come into the quiet.  LONG PAUSE… There's magic that exists in your breath. Profound wisdom in the air that flows in, And out. PAUSE… It feels, It knows, It heals.  It flows.  PAUSE… It all exists right here within you, The ability to heal, The ability to nurture and love, The ability to glow.  LONG PAUSE… So find the rhythm of your breath, Honoring its journey in and out of your body. Witnessing the way it fills you, Refreshes you, And calms you. PAUSE… Become aware of the way it cleanses you, Clears you, Heals you.  LONG PAUSE… Breathe in blue, And invite the healing energy to ride the waves of your breath, Inching its way into every crevice of your body. Repairing,  Restoring,  Healing.  Breathing in blue.  LONG PAUSE… If there are parts of you that are broken, Hurting,  Or unsettled… In your mind or in your body… Let the blue energy find them, Embrace them, And heal them. LONG PAUSE… The healing breath covers you tonight, In her blankets of unconditional love.  Open yourself now, Inviting restoration, And healing.  LONG PAUSE… Namaste, Beautiful

Close your eyes and try to see, What could happen if you rearranged it. PAUSE… It's so incredibly easy, To walk the same footsteps day to day. To follow the path we've followed before, Because things are simpler that way. PAUSE… But is simple what you really want? Does ease set your soul on fire? Or might you wish for something more, If given the chance to aim much higher? PAUSE… Is there an idea tucked down deep in your soul, A picture of what could happen. If you let yourself step way out of your box, And lived what you imagine? PAUSE…   Where did that idea come from? Where you young and hopeful and brave? Did it spring to life before you knew How to just give in and behave?  LONG PAUSE… Take a breath and see yourself, so innocent and sweet. Release the breath and remind yourself the quest is incomplete. PAUSE… You wanted something way back when, And it seemed so right for you. Why should that desire have to disappear, Because the world demands its due? PAUSE… There must be a way to be who you must, While also living as you please. There must be a way to listen to your heart, While also serving life's needs. PAUSE… If you're looking to shift your perspective, To see things in a completely new way, The change can start with a single step, And the change can start today. PAUSE… Think about your usual window, The one you look out the most. What sort of view would you rather have? Should it be mountain, desert, or coast? LONG PAUSE… Inhale as you picture a magical scene, one that makes you glow inside. Exhale and promise to take yourself there, to be your own tour guide. PAUSE… Or maybe the change isn't a place. Maybe it's a calling instead. Perhaps you need to find your purpose, A goal to serve both heart and head. PAUSE… When our lives don't line up with our dreams, When we feel forced to choose, The choice can break us right in half, And leave us feeling abused. PAUSE… Instead we need to find the point, Where all our needs align. We need to find the authentic path, A life of our own design. PAUSE… So dig into your yearnings, Find the wisdom of your spirit. Learn what the universe has been planning for you, Let yourself finally hear it. LONG PAUSE… Breathe in and imagine that very first step, the one that starts the journey. Breathe out as you watch yourself take it, knowing you are worthy.   Namaste, Beautiful

Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player.  Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium When's the last time you sat in silence, Really felt it in your soul? How long has been since you sat with yourself, With no one else around? PAUSE… Take a deep breath and close your eyes, As we seek that quiet once again. It's time to see what's changed within, Since the last time you checked in. PAUSE… There's so much energy around us, From people and their devices and machines. And though we need these things a lot of the time, They're not necessary as much as we think. PAUSE… Once we let these distractions into our lives, It gets harder and harder to say no. And once we stop making space for the quiet, We forget that we need it at all. PAUSE…   It's so easy to get caught up in the hum of it all, To go with society's flow. But when we start to crave that hum over other things, It's a sign we might need to let go. LONG PAUSE… Inhale and pull peace deep into your body, hear only the sound of your breath. Exhale and assess how much calmer you feel, as the peace flows from cell to cell. PAUSE… The answers we seek from those around us, Can be both helpful and not. But the answers we seek from our spirit Are always on the mark. PAUSE… There's certainly value in connection. No one wants to figure out life all alone. There's another sort of connection, though, And it's older and wiser than most. PAUSE… This connection doesn't need wi-fi. It runs without battery or plug. It only requires your commitment, And a willingness to both listen and hear. PAUSE… And unlike so many other platforms, That tend to steal away pieces of you. Your silent connection to spirit Returns what's lost as it pays dividends. LONG PAUSE… Take a deeper breath this time, sink deeper into the quiet. Send your distractions away as you exhale, leaving your mind clear and ready. PAUSE… Ideally, we're looking for balance, A way to thrive inside and out. But until you know how much is too much, It's too hard to make the call. PAUSE… So take a little away from the world, A peaceful respite now and then. Pay attention as the feelings and thoughts bubble up, And look for the messages they hold. PAUSE… If you struggle to find their meaning, Sit with your questions for a while. Use the clear, quiet space to sort it all out, And lean into what makes it okay. PAUSE… Trust what your inner voice tells you, Now that you've given her a chance. She knows what you need before you do, And her signal is constantly strong. LONG PAUSE… Breathe in as you imagine a grounded new you, hopeful, inspired, and at peace. Breathe out with the knowledge that you know what to do, now that you've tuned the dial. Namaste, Beautiful

The thing that matters most? The thing that makes your life worthwhile, And encompasses all of your hopes? PAUSE… It's different for each one of us, Whether a concrete or intangible thing. It's the essence of what we hold sacred, The reason our hearts can sing. PAUSE… For some of us, it's our children, Those precious, angelic gifts. For others, it's our parents, The souls who allowed us to exist. PAUSE… Others live to love their pets, The animals who brighten their lives. And many more live for their art, Their creations helping humanity to survive. PAUSE…   So what is the thing that lights you up,  That makes your existence worthwhile? What eases your load and keeps you striving, No matter how challenging the trial? LONG PAUSE… Take a breath and picture it, the gem in your heart's crown. Release the breath with gratitude, giving thanks for what you've found. PAUSE… Think about the peace this gift gives you, The joy and satisfaction. Think about what it adds to your days, The way it guides the laws of attraction. PAUSE… We would likely do anything, To hold on to this gift. To keep it safe and well and strong, To protect and watch over it. PAUSE… What does it do to your body, When you give it your full focus? Does it warm your heart, or stir your mind, Or just give you something to trust? PAUSE… The things that make us joyful, Also give us strength. They remind us what to hold onto, And what to keep at length. LONG PAUSE… Inhale and pull the power of love inside. Exhale and vow to share the best you can provide. PAUSE… Whatever you choose to give the world, And whatever it gives you in return, The impact grows in both directions, Because of the love lessons you learn. PAUSE… So your vision is important,  The treasures you see have meaning. And the sights you end up holding most dear, Are proof the universe is intervening. PAUSE… It points us to our greatest good, To what we're meant to give. It rewards us when we zero in, And find purpose as we live. PAUSE… Acknowledge your blessings, dear one. Feel them with you at every step. Build your world around what you love, And know there's always more you can accept. LONG PAUSE… Breathe in and pull your priorities close, the gifts that shape your life. Release that breath on a wave of love, and prepare for more gifts to arrive.   Namaste, Beautiful

Though it may seem like they're past their use, In truth, their memory is a blessing. PAUSE… Close your eyes and see who's there, Which versions of you still linger. Ask yourself where you all stand, If there's anything you still wonder. PAUSE… Though we want to believe we shed those selves, When new understanding settles in, We actually move farther if we're willing to embrace The messy past hiding within us. PAUSE… It's not that we have to wallow there, Or relive what we'd rather not. But whatever they are, we are as well, And their scars have stories to tell. PAUSE…   If we don't listen when they speak, Our present life just gets harder. For they know better than anyone else, What it takes to make us smarter. LONG PAUSE… Picture a younger version of you, hold yourself close as you breathe in gently. Prepare to listen as you speak to you, breathing out to make space in your body. PAUSE… What did she need that she didn't find? What lessons did she teach you? Have you found what ‘that' you lacked, Or are you still searching for answers? PAUSE… It may be daunting to look back this way, To see how much work remains. But taking stock reveals successes too, Showing you where you shine. PAUSE… Think of these selves like rings of tree, Their number growing as you age. And like those rings, they're safely surrounded, By the growth you've toiled to achieve. PAUSE… They still exist like shadow selves, Appearing when circumstances demand it. But like the rings in the tree, or ghosts in the attic, They're only glimmers of what used to be. LONG PAUSE… Inhale and accept the process, the ever changing shifts. Exhale and accept the necessity of keeping watch as you advance. PAUSE… At some point, you will all be friends, You'll coexist gratefully. For they are pleased that you battle on, With the tools they crafted for you. PAUSE… The past is never quite what we think. Our memories let us down. But a sister-you never forgets a thing, And she's there to cheer you on. PAUSE… So look more fondly on your past. Don't fear what you have been. We all spend time in foolish places, Until we figure out where we belong. PAUSE… Even if you haven't found that place,  The one that's meant for you. Your early selves hold all the clues, And they believe in what you can do. LONG PAUSE… Breathe in as you take your ghosts by the hand, accepting what they offer. Breathe out and settle into their company, feeling more whole when you're together.   Namaste, Beautiful

PAUSE… But if you just practice, Separating yourself from their dance. You'll see that you don't have to, Succumb to their heavy trance. PAUSE… These feelings, these worries,  And the heaviness that they bring. They're all temporary, And soon won't mean a thing. PAUSE… The best thing you can do, The strategy that always works best. Is to connect with your deep self, And remember how you're blessed. LONG PAUSE… So bring your attention here, To the movement of your breath. Detach from those thoughts, And feel your body's depth. PAUSE… You are not your circumstances, You are not your thoughts. You are love embodied, One with the divine, magical source. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful

Breathe… And let go.

It's all in your head, So do the hard work,  Of creating thoughts that bring glee.  PAUSE… So what do you want, Apart from the scripts, That others have imparted on you? What do you want? It's all here, you see, Go within and discover what's true.  PAUSE… As you embrace,  The power of your thoughts, You know that you are the one,  Who gets to decide,  What stays and what goes, Oh, this life is quite fun.  Namaste, Beautiful

Close your eyes and focus on you, On the rest you truly need. PAUSE… Imagine a healthy, perfect leaf, Floating on the breeze. Any type, any shape, any size will do, Its beauty yours to define. PAUSE… Perhaps it's a lovely maple leaf, Its shape reminiscent of a star. Or a gorgeous oak leaf, wide and graceful, With curves like river bends.  PAUSE… Perhaps your leaf is young and tender, Green and vibrant, silky to the touch. Or maybe you're seeing a vivid fall leaf, A flash of dazzling color.  PAUSE… Think about where your leaf has been, The sights it may have seen. Imagine the view of life from the air, The feel of gliding on the wind. PAUSE… Your leaf may be one of many, Part of a soaring team. Or it may be drifting on its own, Happy to follow the breeze's whim. PAUSE… Your leaf is like no other, Even though it resembles the rest. If you look closely at its edges and arcs, You see its special quirks. Use your breath to sink deeper into peace, to feel as free as that leaf. Imagine yourself with no restrictions or worries, the breeze your only guide. LONG PAUSE… Now that you have a leaf in mind, Let your thoughts turn to its tree. Even when floating on the wind, It's tied to where it began. PAUSE… Whether that tree is near or far, The connection always remains. The leaf is part of a family, A history rising up from a common seed. PAUSE… From small beginnings, a vast tree grows, Adding branches throughout the years. The leaf is proof of the tree's dedication, Its determination to survive. PAUSE… No matter which branch it stems from, The leaf is part of the whole. It may not be sure where it's heading, But it always knows where it belongs. PAUSE… Think about how you're like that leaf, Singular and yet one of many. A beautiful, strong free spirit, Carrying the potential of countless others. PAUSE… Or perhaps you're still attached to your tree, Fluttering softly on your branch. Providing shade and oxygen, To take care of all those below. PAUSE… It's easy to feel like leaves are too small, To do much on their own, But when energies align for the greater good, Each piece of the whole has meaning. PAUSE… So whether you're off making your own way, Or you're sticking closer to the tree, You'll always be part of where you started, Always tied to your true home. As you inhale, try to feel your connections, the ties that make you who you are. As you exhale, think of what your spirit adds, how your strength supports those bonds. LONG PAUSE… Let those thoughts add to your peace, Let them fill you with confidence and grace. Just like the tree you come from, Your life has purpose and power. PAUSE… Long before you came into being, Nature's plan was set. You are a part of that intention, And when the time is right, you'll act. PAUSE… For now, accept that you matter, That your existence was by design. Let the weight of that knowledge make your heart smile, Let it make your spirits rise.  PAUSE… Each of us has a destiny, A path we're meant to follow. But like the leaf set upon the wind, Only our beginnings are pre-determined.  PAUSE… We're given an origin story, A history to which we're tethered. Then, either by choice or chance, We're free to plot our own course. PAUSE… No one decision is better than another. Each one offers new possibilities. The key is to choose what's right for you, And to ignore what others demand. PAUSE…

You may think your presence, Isn't missed by your peers.  PAUSE… You may not be aware, Of how much you mean, To others all around you, Some even unseen.  PAUSE… It's easy to get lost, In your own busy life. And forget that you matter, There's light in your eyes. PAUSE… You matter so much, To others around you now.  You matter so much, To those you don't even know.  LONG PAUSE… When darkness starts to call, And tells you you're alone, Whispers you're unlovable, And slows your lively tone.  PAUSE… Take a deep breath, And remind your weary soul, That you are deeply loved, And you are beautifully whole.  LONG PAUSE… Come now,  Deep in the center of you. Who you are is magic, Who you are shines true.  PAUSE… Allow those thick layers, Of expectations and norms, Peel away one by one, And settle all your storms.  PAUSE… You're allowed to be you, You're allowed to be free, To live life your way, To enjoy and just be.  LONG PAUSE… Perhaps you've raised your voice, You began to really sing.

I promise others are listening,  They're singing along with you. PAUSE… You matter so much, To others around you now.  You matter so much, To those you don't even know.

Close your eyes and take a breath, And clear all thoughts from your mind. PAUSE… You've been working so very hard, For hours and likely days. You go and go and go some more, Toiling in so many different ways. PAUSE… It's easy to fall into a pattern, With no room for checking in. You see to the needs of so many others, And then forget to look within. PAUSE… Your heart is in the right place, Your intentions are the best. You don't mean to neglect yourself, As you do so much work without rest. PAUSE… But the time has come to make a change, To turn your attention inward. Use this time, this twilight time, To recoup what's been deferred. PAUSE… Start by being still and quiet, Let your body slow its pace. From mind to heart to muscles and cells, Give yourself some space. PAUSE… Listen to sound of your breathing, Tune into the gentle beat of your heart. Hear your body's music, As you let the background noise depart. PAUSE… When you feel in touch with your rhythm, When you feel calm and serene, Let your mind drift where it wants, See what secrets are begging to be seen. PAUSE… Look at the things you've held out of sight, As you've rushed to keep up with the world. Look for what needs your attention, For the thoughts that have gone unheard. LONG PAUSE… Think about what's been missing for you, In recent days and weeks. Think about what fell to the bottom of the list, As the squeaky wheel got its grease. PAUSE… It's only human nature, To respond to what calls your name. But when those calls never seem to cease, It's your spirit that feels the pain. PAUSE… There's a special kind of exhaustion, That results from over-serving. Once it starts, it's tough to stop, And even harder to feel deserving. PAUSE… Though it may seem scary to make a change, It doesn't have to be drastic. Instead of throwing things out of your life, You can try a softer tactic. PAUSE… Use this time at the end of each day, To bring your thoughts back to you. Choose a yearning that went unseen, And make a promise to see it through. PAUSE… Tune in to what your soul is whispering. Listen to what it's prompting you to do. Imagine how it would feel to take a leap, To explore something exciting and new. PAUSE… Even more than the novelty, What matters is the choice. To hear what your spirit needs from you, Is the first step toward hearing your voice. PAUSE… It takes quite a bit of practice, To make yourself a priority. But each tiny step has massive power, Each one gives more authority. PAUSE… Though life would have us ignore these clues, To do so takes a toll. Once you learn to consult yourself, You're on the path to being whole. LONG PAUSE… It's all about getting started, About taking the time for yourself. To learn what you need and embrace it, Even when the world demands something else. PAUSE… If you're truly honest with yourself, Much of what you need comes as no surprise. Whether a longtime yearning or a recent must, You've likely been ignoring the signs. PAUSE… Time just feels so limited, Growing shorter each day and year. It's a difficult job to prioritize tasks, And your desire to do it all is sincere. PAUSE… Sometimes, however, the answer we seek, Flies in the face of what we expect. We're better equipped to make it all work, When we give our own needs respect. PAUSE…

PAUSE… Picture your favorite place on earth, The outdoor space you love the most. Use your mind to take you there, Feel your body grow lighter as you approach.  PAUSE… Perhaps you're seeing waterfalls, Or rocky cliffs with snow. Maybe you're sitting on the beach, Watching dolphins swim to and fro. PAUSE… Perhaps you're in a forest glen, Or a meadow full of flowers. It might even be your hometown park, Where you and your friends once played for hours. PAUSE… Focus on the feelings this place inspires, The deep reaction in your soul. There's likely joy and peace and awe, But even sadness could play a role. PAUSE… Ask yourself what this place gives you, Ask what makes it so special in your mind. Then ask what you might need from it today, What wound or break must be realigned. PAUSE… Once you know what needs attention, Then shift your thoughts toward the cure. Your remedy will soon reveal itself, Nature knows best, even when you're unsure. PAUSE… Whatever defines your special place, Be it water, trees, or sand. Pull its magic into your core, Taking healing by the hand.   Take a breath and feel the pain ebb, feel what you need returned. Exhale and hold onto your peaceful state, let your vitality seep back in. LONG PAUSE… Even if you weren't aware Of what, if anything, could be wrong. Life takes its toll, and wears us out, And drowns out our cheerful song. PAUSE… Nature gives that song back to you, You need only make the time. Visit often, with sincere intent, And your soul will feel sublime. PAUSE… Choose a number of special places, Destinations for your awareness. Choose one whenever your spirit's out of sorts, And let earth's gifts lead you back to wellness. PAUSE… Let Nature's power activate the power in you, Make use of the beauty it offers. You're stronger when you let loving energy in, And that strength cycles back to help others. PAUSE… It's true what they say, that Nature knows best, And its circular healing touches all. Never forget that you are part of web, That it's there for you whenever you call.   Namaste, Beautiful

It's time to rest and rejuvenate, Time to bid the day farewell. PAUSE… Close your eyes and take a breath, Give your imagination a canvas. Paint it with the colors of the setting sun, As it glows on the distant horizon. PAUSE… Think about all the sunsets you've seen, The images you've collected for years. See the pinks and the oranges and the purples, Lighting up like they've been set on fire. PAUSE… Let your thoughts wander back to your travels, To the many places you've watched the sun set. Try to remember your favorite, The one that also lit you up within. PAUSE… Think about who you were with that day, Loved ones and friends alike. Or maybe you were watching all on your own, A moment of solitude to soothe your soul. PAUSE… Call up the feelings that beauty inspired, The wonder, the joy, the awe. Let those emotions infuse your body, Experience the bliss once again. PAUSE… Memories are meant to come back to us, To illuminate our lives anew. And with beauty as arresting as the sunset, Why not enjoy it as often as you can.   Take a deep breath and let your mind float, let it ride on a wave of color. Exhale and feel like part of the splendor, aware of the sun's power in you. LONG PAUSE… In addition the magnificence, Lessons linger in the sunset. There's more to see than a painted sky, More to consider than a stunning show.   PAUSE… The sun tells you when to power down, When to literally call it a day. You've made one more trip through your busy world, And you deserve to tuck in and rest.   PAUSE… You likely did your best to shine, To warm everyone in your circle. When night comes, it's time to recoup All that you shared with others.   PAUSE… The sun is fortunate to have a friend, A partner in its daily cycle. The moon is there to do its part, To step in and support the natural order. PAUSE… Think about who does the same for you, The person who steps in when you're tired. Whether that's you or somebody else, Give thanks for the respite they provide.   PAUSE… It's no small gift to be part of a team, Even if that team ends up being small. Protecting your boundaries is important work, And it matters when someone answers the call.   PAUSE… There's a rhythm to everything under the sun, Even for the sun itself. Just like the dance between night and day, There's a method to keeping yourself in balance.   PAUSE… It's all about listening to that inner voice, To the intuition that won't lead you astray. Follow the path that feels right for you, And honor the spirit's need to shut down.   Inhale and feel the rightness in all, in the patterns and cadence that guide you. Exhale and know that you're on the right track, that even the sun and moon support you. LONG PAUSE… Sink deeper into self as you picture the moon, The way it waits in the sky for its cue. Perfectly choreographed by nature itself, The changing of the guard is seamless.   PAUSE… Transitions can happen that way for you too. You can slide from one state to another. Just trust in the process and accept when it's time, And you'll find yourself gracefully changing. PAUSE… When you accept the way of things, You, too, can shine like the sunset. You can glow like the moon, and burn bright in the morning, As you celebrate your unique tempo.   PAUSE… Many aspects of you are easy to change, And others must be accepted. Some needs of mind and body are predetermined, Fixed like the cycle of the sun. PAUSE…

You don't have to play, With someone who treats you bad.  PAUSE… You don't have to feel, Like you're not allowed to be, Wholly and completely you, Wild and magical and free. PAUSE… You don't have to do, What someone says is best. You don't have to say, Words when you feel pressed.  PAUSE… You should never feel, Like you can only play, When you follow certain rules, And act a certain way. Before you join the club, And follow others' lead. Make sure you know your heart, And can speak up should you need.  PAUSE… It takes a lot of strength, To speak when things get mean. To walk away when others, Act rudely and demean.  PAUSE… As long as you know your worth, As long as you are true. You'll know when it's not okay, You'll know what's not for you. PAUSE… Remember that you're special, And kind and beautiful too. Your soul burns like stars, There's no one quite like you. PAUSE… If you find yourself worried, That you'll be all alone. That others won't accept you, If you're not their little clone. PAUSE… Close your eyes and breathe, And bring your hand to heart. Know that you are incredible, And perfect just as you are. PAUSE… You don't need to be, Anything other than you. You don't need to do, You have nothing to prove.  PAUSE… Stand tall within yourself, And be proud of who you are. The right people will come, From near and from far. PAUSE… And when you laugh with them, When you've danced and twirled, You'll understand that meanness, Isn't welcome in your world.  PAUSE… You don't have to play, With someone who makes you sad. You don't have to play, With someone who treats you bad.  PAUSE… You don't have to feel, Like you're not allowed to be, Wholly and completely you, Wild and magical and free. Sweet Dreams, Beautiful.
