Welcome to episode 3,248 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley, and I welcome you to a brand new

meditation series. And as I record this series, we are celebrating the very first month of a new year.

And if you've been following along in sequence with the different meditation series

that we've explored since the beginning of this year, you all notice that there's a theme.

And this is a theme to keep you motivated with your goals and your ambitions.

In last week's series, I shared with you how during week three or about at the 21 day mark,

most people give up on their goals and ambitions for how you want to live your life.

You may find yourself faltering and thinking, do I really need to be doing that? My life wasn't

so bad before or you encounter some challenge and it can be easy to give up. Well, in last week's series,

I also shared with you how important it is to have emotion behind your goals and your ambitions.

If you're not emotionally driven by what it is you aspire to, research shows, as I

shared in last week's series, that you're more likely to give up.

So really get behind your goals emotionally.

And I thought there was no better way to do this than by exploring

universal truths. For centuries, mystics, sages, and scientists have understood the transformative

power of repetition.

From chanting mantras to learning a new skill,

repeated actions and thoughts literally can rewire your brain

and shape your belief and influence your behaviors.

So in this series, you'll harness this power for yourself

to deeply internalize essential human truths.

This will help to fuel your goals and ambitions.
