Skillful Means Podcast
#121 Beginning Anew
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.
