Congratulations on getting to the end of week three!
Together we have had such a powerful impact on the lives of thousands through the funds raised for clean water.
Can you believe there's just over one more week to go?
Just remember that even if you haven’t meditated as regularly as you planned, you can always revisit and reset your intention for doing this program and begin again.
“The greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little.”
~ Zig Ziglar
If you've been meditating most days (or even ALL DAYS), take a moment and give yourself a serious pat on the back!
MINDFULNESS FOR GREATER COURAGE
Week three is a good time to talk about living in a more authentic way, where our outer life and actions reflect what matters most to us on the inside. We’ve been practising focusing our attention on physical sensations in the body, the breath, the thoughts, and the feelings, and we’ve heard a lot about what makes our relationships flourish. Acting in alignment with our values can take quite a bit of courage.
Whether that’s speaking out when we feel scared; working on or ending a relationship that’s not serving us; leaving a job that's not right us; or following a longstanding dream.
Showing up in the world and living in a way that honours our true selves - our souls - is an important foundation for our happiness and wellbeing.
Mindfulness is a powerful tool to help us with this and teaches us that we don’t have to believe all of our thoughts. It allows us to step out of the prison of our old limiting beliefs and experience new possibilities. We liberate ourselves by becoming more aware of our thoughts and not being hijacked by unhelpful thinking.
As we become more experienced at mindfulness practice, we gain greater clarity and get better at being able to stay calm amidst the storm of difficult emotions.
Mindfulness helps us build greater confidence and get better at recovering from setbacks with more ease. We become less fearful of failure knowing that we are resilient and can face difficulties with greater strength.
Mindful Inquiry:
- What area of your life is asking for more courage?
- What is the smallest possible action you could take to move towards being more courageous in this area?
- How might your lack of courage in this area be unnecessarily protecting you?
Today is an integration day where you get a chance to catch up, so visit the meditation page and choose your favourite one from this week (or one that you might have missed).
What happens after May?
Whether you have meditated every day, every few days or you're in here feeling terrible because somehow, life has COMPLETELY knocked you around and you've not meditated one single day.... No problem.
Every moment is an opportunity to begin again - it's true.
This is the key to bringing meditation into your life in a long-lasting way.
So today - visit your meditation page and choose any meditation to get back on track.
