Hello, friends! In this episode, I take you through a guided meditation designed to help you unhook from your thoughts, acknowledging them without fully giving in to them. With everyone still in such a state of uncertainty, I thought this would be a really good meditation to do for this period of time.

This is a meditation that I have adapted and added to, but the original source material is from Mindfulness Exercises. In a time full of compromise, change and uncertainty, I really hope this helps you get through and allows you to calm your mind and start to be on better terms with your thoughts.

In this episode, I give you a few of my thoughts about how to best get through this time and then guide you through some visualization and breathing to help you let go and get some much needed rest. I truly hope that it helps a bit.

This was an episode that was supposed to air a while back. I postponed it due to a shooting at my alma mater’s college night at the Borderline night club in Thousand Oaks. I felt that the topic just wouldn’t be appropriate for that day. However, now that we are in a new year, it’s the perfect time to think about your values, your goals, your aspirations, and how to live better in the now. That’s exactly what we talk about in this interview. In this episode, I interview Kate Manser from You Might Die Tomorrow about the concept or mortality awareness and how that can be used to help you make decisions and appreciate the present.
