Meditate Motivate & Movement

On this episode of the Meditate, Motivate, & Movement podcast we talk about striving and non-striving.

The concept comes from the mindfulness-based stress reduction course (MBSR). A program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. The idea of Non-striving is trying less and being more.

Non-striving doesn’t make sense if you’re immersed in a hyper-competitive, goal-obsessed culture like most of us are. But according to Kabat-Zinn...

"[Meditation] has no goal other than for you to be yourself. The irony is that you already are. This sounds paradoxical and a little crazy. Yet this paradox and craziness may be pointing you toward a new way of seeing yourself, one in which you are trying less and being more."
