Join me, Sonya Looney, in our first moving meditation of 2025. Today's journey is about harnessing patience and acceptance amidst life's unavoidable interruptions. I'm back on the bike after my longest training break, so it feels more relevant than ever to highlight the importance of emotional regulation, the power of naming our emotions, and the crucial role of acceptance in building resilience.

As we ride together, I'll guide you through mindfulness practices to help manage discomfort - both physical and emotional - and reinforce the value of optimism and social support. Whether you're sidelined by illness, facing personal setbacks, or just feeling overwhelmed, this meditation is a reminder to embrace the present, accept your circumstances, and find strength in your experiences.

Here's what we'll do:

1. Embrace patience and let go of control.

2. Practice acceptance and emotional regulation.

3. Zoom out and find broader context.

4. Leverage your inner strength.

5. Focus on the present moment.
