This is episode 2, 211 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you to Day

0:11.9

4 of our series we're exploring this week.

0:15.0

This week you are exploring 10 minutes of happiness every single day. In each episode you are presented with a question

0:29.2

that will help you as you focus on happiness.

0:36.0

And you are encouraged as part of your challenge this week

0:41.8

to journal about the question that I share with you each day. So as you

0:49.5

reflect on the question when you meditate you are able to go a little more deeply into

0:57.1

different aspects of happiness and then when you journal for 10 minutes or longer, you begin to process what happiness means to you and anything that might come up as you meditate.

2:30.0

So the Madra for today you can find a photo of it on my SIP and Ohm, Instagram account. You will find a photo of me holding my hand in the
