| 0:00.0 | Welcome to episode 3, 2021 of the daily meditation podcast. I'm Mary Meckley and I'm always |
| 0:10.3 | happy to welcome you here and I like to tell you that this meditation |
| 0:16.2 | that you're doing could just be the most important thing you do for yourself all day long, all year long, because you are culminating the very first week of this brand new year, and we've been exploring a series to launch you into this |
| 0:36.6 | brand new year as you navigate your goals and resolutions. |
| 0:44.0 | And you've had three challenges. |
| 0:46.0 | These challenges are important part of going through this year. |
| 0:52.0 | The first challenge is to come up with a word that can help define your year and place it around your meditation space. |
| 1:01.0 | You might put it in your car or where you work, and allow that word to anchor you. |

| 2:30.0 | So he did and he was phenomenally successful with it. So that was his turtle. I heard from |
| 2:36.8 | someone recently a fellow meditator who selected an eagle for their totem. |
| 2:44.0 | That's a powerful totem. |
| 2:46.0 | And I also heard from someone who selected a bunny for their totem |
| 2:51.0 | because they said that bunnies were really nice and cozy and they |
| 2:55.6 | wanted to just feel a little more cozy and like life was less hectic they |
