The Chain You Can Break: Meditation as Mental Training


Listen Later

“If you only take what the world gives you, you’ll be stressed, angry, and stuck. Meditation is how we change the input.”

From Habit to Liberation: A Guided Meditation

This week on Sit, Walk, Work, I guide you through a meditation designed to help you reconnect with your breath, your body, and your mind — and gently challenge the unconscious conditioning we all carry.

We start by asking: What habits are holding you back?

And then we sit with it. We breathe.

We observe the breath, the body, the stories — and invite space to begin again.

This practice is for anyone who’s ever said:

“I tried that once and it didn’t work.”

Let this be your invitation to try again, with kindness and curiosity.
