Hello and welcome to another episode of Mindfulness Plus. I'm your host, Thomas McConkey. Thank you for downloading us today. I'm a happy camper in my home studio. We just

got new carpet in. I'm barefoot and oh so cozy. So I imagine we have a good episode coming

our way given how cozy I am down here in my little nook. All right, for those of you who are

new to mindfulnessfulness Plus, what

are we? What do we do? Mindfulness Plus is a show that operates on a really basic premise,

which is that you can dramatically change your quality of life by changing the way you pay attention. That's it. This is not a new

idea. Human beings have been doing this for many thousands of years. In Mindfulness Plus, we draw

from ancient wisdom, we draw from modern science. We look at all of the of the tricks techniques neurohacks that are helpful

for creating a healthy growthful joyful life and again this all comes back to how we pay attention

to life moment to moment it It's an amazing thing.

I've been in this practice for 20 years. I love it more than ever, and I love to share it.

Also, we are a non-profit podcast privately owned, and we are raising funds for season three.

If you enjoy the show, if you get benefit out of it,

please support us. Go to mindfulness plus.org, throw us a few bucks. If we got a dollar per episode

for each listener who downloads us, I could retire, but we don't even need that much.

What we want you to do is show that you value the show by actually paying money for it.

It takes a lot of people to make this show happen, to maintain the website, to produce the audio,

and the time I put into writing the episodes and offering you support.

So that's my pitch.

We're going to be raising funds through the end of the year.

We really appreciate you.

I really appreciate that I get to do this show and get to teach mindfulness for a living. So thank you for hearing that.
