00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.760
It's now 12 o'clock on Sunday afternoon and we're all looking forward to Sunday music.

00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:14.960
One or the other has shortened the time a bit and at the favorite streaming service,

00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:20.320
no matter if it's Amazon Music, Spotify or Apple, also at YouTube Music,

00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:33.640
we've been looking for Jockel & Friends, J-O-C-K-L, then the underline F-R-I-E-N-D-S, and listened to one or the other song that already

00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:37.480
played here in the Sunday music.

00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:46.960
And for all the others, there is now the next piece of Sunday music with self-written text.

00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.960
And I'm happy because it's something I like to do again.

00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:58.800
And some people always say, "Man, Jockel, when is the next country song coming?"

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:02.520
That sounds so awesome to you.

00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.640
Well, I'm happy if you like it.

00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:12.360
And today there is a really nice country song again, a ballad to be more precise.

00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:14.200
And what is it about?

00:01:14.440 --> 00:01:22.360
Well, who knows me knows, I am and will always be a great advocate of self-care.

00:01:22.360 --> 00:01:29.880
And it's exactly about this topic that we are going to talk about today, and that is exactly about Steady Me Time,

00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:36.440
something like a very personal time for ourselves.

00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:43.680
Have fun with it and if you recognize yourself in it, feel free to take this time just for yourself.

00:01:44.480 --> 00:02:03.760

00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:36.360
I was running on empty, barely making it home.

00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:43.000
Every promise I kept felt like breaking my bones.

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:49.560
Gave my hours, gave my heart, till there was nothing to show.

00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:57.000
Just a smile made of shadows and a soul running low.

00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:03.560
Then you told me lay your armor down, you're allowed to breathe.

00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:09.960
Held a mirror to the part of me, I never let me see.

00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:16.520
And now I'm learning how to listen, when my heartbeat calls my name.

00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:23.240
To say no without the guilt and walk right out of the shame.

00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.480
So I'll fight this exhaustion with a quiet kind of fire.

00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:36.040
Guard my little piece of heaven like a sacred soft empire.

00:03:36.040 --> 00:03:42.520
I'll be gentle with my limits, I'll defend this fragile mind.

00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:49.640
Turn my lonely hours into something special, something very kind.

00:03:49.640 --> 00:03:56.200
In the silence I remember, I belong to just myself.

00:03:56.200 --> 00:04:02.600
Every breath of steady me, time is my biggest gift for help.

00:04:02.600 --> 00:04:06.680

00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:13.320
I still hustle like thunder, but I live like the rain.

00:04:13.320 --> 00:04:19.720
I can pour when I'm ready, I won't drown in the pain.

00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:26.520
I'm not closing out my heart, I'm just locking the door.

00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:33.720
When the noise gets too loud and I can't hear me anymore.

00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:40.280
You said let me stand beside you while you learn to stand alone.

00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:47.080
So I sit with my own feelings like they're guests inside my home.

00:04:47.080 --> 00:04:53.640
Light a candle in the evening, let the world spin as it may.

00:04:53.640 --> 00:05:00.280
I don't have to save it all to make it through the day.

00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:06.440
So I'll fight this exhaustion with a quiet kind of fire.

00:05:06.440 --> 00:05:12.920
Guard my little piece of heaven like a sacred soft empire.

00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:19.560
I'll be gentle with my limits, I'll defend this fragile mind.

00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:26.600
Turn my lonely hours into something special, something very kind.

00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:33.160
In the silence I remember, I belong to just myself.

00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:39.560
Every breath of steady me, time is my biggest gift for help.

00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:51.160
There's a power in pausing that I never was taught.

00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:57.560
Now I'm stitching back the pieces that I never even thought.

00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:04.280
With your hand on my shoulder and my hand on my own heart.

00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:12.600
We are learning that protection can be just like a restart.

00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:19.160
I can disappear for hours, it's not pushing friends away.

00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:25.720
It's the way I keep the colors in my spirit far from gray.

00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:32.200
When I rise from all the quiet, I return with softer eyes.

00:06:32.200 --> 00:06:41.640
I can give the world my best, 'cause I kept myself the size.

00:06:41.640 --> 00:06:48.360
So I'll fight this exhaustion with a quiet kind of fire.

00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:54.920
Guard my little piece of heaven like a sacred soft empire.

00:06:54.920 --> 00:07:01.480
I'll be gentle with my limits, I'll defend this fragile mind.

00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:08.520
Turn my lonely hours into something special, something very kind.

00:07:08.520 --> 00:07:14.920
In the silence I remember, I belong to just myself.

00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:21.320
Every breath of steady me, time is my biggest gift for help.
