What’s up, beautiful humans?

I know we’re always busy thinking about our next goal, 

or beating ourselves up over the things we did or didn’t do.

I want you to let all of that go.

All-a-dat, okay? 

This track is here to give you a little mental reset. 

Let’s just focus on us right now. 

The positive that’s going on in your life.

Your physical health. 

Your mental peace. 

Your protected energy. 

The people in your corner who truly see you. 

Breathe that in. 

Let it warm your soul.

I know things have been hard, but look at all you’ve lived through.

You’re here listening to this collection of pure, sonic magic! 

And that’s gotta count for something.

So no matter where you are,

Let’s acknowledge how far you’ve come, and imagine where you want to be. 

I want you to see how possible it is to get there. 

And if doing that seems scary, I got you.

Just breathe with me.    

[Inhale and exhale]

Now let’s smile real big together, 

And say this:

I’m doin it.  

I’m really doin it.

[pause]

One more time, so we can really let that sink in.

I’m doin it.  

I’m really doin it.

[pause]

Now let’s get it. 

Yeah, that’s what I'm talking ‘bout.
