As American Author Anne Dilliard famously stated: How we spend our days is of course, how we spend our lives. It's the daily practices we commit to, that build habits and transform our lives for the better.

This month, pay particular attention to the moments when you have time to meditate but that inner voice of resistance tries to convince you not to,  with thoughts like, "I don't feel like it" ..."I'll do it later" , or "I'm too busy".

At these times, just commit to sitting for one minute and rest your awareness on the breath, as a way of overcoming that initial resistance that can sabotage your practice. Keep the habit alive this month!

Your private Facebook community is there to support you in staying connected to your meditation practice. As a way of creating a warm space of friendship with your fellow meditators, go ahead and introduce yourself in the Facebook group and reflect on the questions in the post at the top of the page (use #hello so we can find you and share what #city you're in).

Use the group to share what you notice in your meditation practice and share mindful moments from your daily life to anchor you to more presence and gratitude.

If you're joining the Mind Life Project and haven't done Mindful in May before you can find some of my guided meditations to use between the live guided calls by selecting 'meditations' in the Wisdom Vault. Use these guided practices between the live guided meditation calls (which start in July!) to support a regular practice. See if you can meditate every day even if it's just for one mindful minute.
