In this episode, Matthew will explain why joining a meditation challenge can be useful for anyone, whether you're booting up, rebooting, or simply seeking to maintain a meditation practice. We also explore how incorporating simple phrases throughout the day can help us rewire our brains and reimagine our existence.
