Worry isn't useful but we tell ourselves it is because it might prevent something bad from happening or at least we are doing something.

Incorrect! Worrying does nothing.

You know what does?! Action!

Take 6 minutes to see the benefits of what life is like without worry.

It's time to rest. You've done a lot today. You deserve the experience of deep sleep. Sweet dreams.

When you're in an expansive mood, open awareness is for you. Here we include experiences of sound, body and breathe in our sit. We welcome all experiences and when the awareness moves to thoughts we gently guide it back to whichever experience is most present for us.

By practicing you're making the world a more pleasant place. Thank you.

Love you USA, Slovakia, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, Indonesia, Sweden, the UK, Ireland, Italy, Estonia, Puerto Rico, Kazakstan, Thailand, India, South Africa, Spain, and Australia!

Sounds simply arise and pass away, making them excellent anchors in meditation. We'll use soft mental notes such as "hearing" to acknowledge when we notice sounds. 

Sound meditation is a fan fav, so see if it's good for you!

"Sit and know you're sitting"

P.S. Keep subscribing, reviewing, listening and sharing this podcast! We are almost at 1000 listens!

Thanks for your practice.

Meditation is really simple, I promise. We aren't trying to DO anything. We are just practicing choosing our awareness. Today we continually point awareness back to the breath. Try it with me ;)

You did it! You practiced cultivating and exploring joy for ten days which is simply incredible.

On our final day together we take it easy. We practice simply being here. Sitting and knowing we are sitting. Breathing and knowing we are breathing. Life's really simple (surprisingly). Since we tend to make it harder for ourselves, we finish up our joy practice by just loving the moment for what it is.

Thank you for taking time to learn about joy. Let me know what you liked by writing a review and rating the show so more people can find joy!

Practicing meditation is important AND taking action after reflecting can be equally critical. Here we will come to terms with what matters with us and bring to mind small steps we can take today to bring us closer to our goals.

I can't wait to hear what you want YOUR local and global contribution to be. You can do anything you aspire to!!

Almost done with the 10 day challenge! I am so proud of you!

"Little by little, little becomes a lot"

Life can be hard. It can suck. Relationships are messy. This is all true AND everything changes. Using soft mental notes in meditation such as "anxiety arising" or "anxiousness feels like this" VS the detrimental rumination that goes something like "I'm the most anxious person in the world and that means I'm a bad person" reduce the attachment to a state of mind. We are not responsible for our thoughts and we don't need to identify as a particular type of state of mind because it's all subject to change.

When we can better deal with difficulties in meditation, our whole world can open up and become much less scary.

Thanks for listening today, you're nailing it.

We feel better when we are seen, heard, appreciated, happy and healthy. In this mindfulness meditation we experience universal feelings and we connection with others ... even if they aren't near us.

When we see how similar we all are, it opens our hearts to treating each other with respect. 

Take good care!
