| 0:00.0 | This is episode 1,682. Welcome to the Daily Meditation podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and here you are getting ready to do one of the best things you could possibly do for yourself as you get ready to meditate. |
| 0:22.0 | In today's episode, you are going to celebrate all you have explored this week as you began a fresh start as you began a brand new year. |
| 0:46.7 | And we have explored six different ways you can become a better person as you begin a brand new year. |
| 1:08.5 | You've explored how to focus on a virtue rather than simply focusing on a goal or a resolution. |
| 1:23.6 | You are aiming for a deeper joy within you, rather than fleeting temporary happiness that goals bring to us, |
| 1:40.8 | such as maybe you want to improve your health, or maybe you want to achieve some success |
| 1:53.5 | at what you do for a living, or to improve a relationship. |
