Summary

We often spend our lives chasing unattainable goals. Let go of the need to be perfect or to achieve everything.

Meditation: Focus on a goal you've been pursuing. Release the pressure to achieve it. Imagine letting go of the outcome and simply enjoying the process.

0:00.0	Welcome to episode 3,158 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I'm honored you are here.
0:11.0	And I have to say that for me I say the same intro every single time I share
0:19.3	a meditation with you but the reason I do so is because many of you are following along with the number of the series and also this is an easier way for me to chronicle and organize the different meditations.
0:35.4	So I haven't strayed from my original introduction from when I very first started recording
0:42.1	over 10 years ago. Well today you are going to be
0:48.2	guided in a meditation where you are using a breathing technique and this is a powerful
0:59.5	breathing technique you know that I always share with you how breathing techniques are considered to be

2:00.0	So you're exploring some concepts this week that at first may seem like this is not the track you're on.
2:10.0	You want to maximize, you want to play full out and embrace every opportunity that comes your way.
2:18.0	Well, in yesterday's episode I shared with you from the book the concept of finitude and it has to do with the finite
2:29.2	nature of time, how our lives are limited and this realization can be sobering, but it can also be
2:42.0	a powerful motivator to actually go out there and live fully
2:48.4	aligned with what matters most to you. So as you're guided through this series and this week's theme,
