#121 Beginning Anew
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We're kicking off the new year with an exploration of the ways in which we can capture the energy and freshness of a new calendar year to every day moments, creating new beginnings whenever we need them. Topics include:
- how temporal landmarks, like a new year, pull us out of the ordinary
- how walking meditation teaches us how to start over in the present moment
- and we can train up the capacity to let go in order to embrace a fresh moment in mindfulness of breathing meditation
We'll also go through ways to reaffirm your values, not only as a ritual way of starting over, but also because following your values will capacitate you for the challenges head.
