0:00.0	This is episode 2040 of the Daily Meditation Podcast.
0:06.0	I'm a Mary Mickley and I welcome you to a brand new week as we begin a new theme. Each week we launch into a brand new theme that we explore
0:18.6	for seven days and in each episode you explore a different meditation technique.
0:28.2	We are continuing along with the theme of brain health and this is part of a collection of brain health meditations.
0:37.0	And the focus for this week's series on brain health is concentration and as we begin this series I have a challenge
0:49.2	for you as I do in each week's series. Your challenge is to choose something to concentrate on this

2:13.2	That could be a way to concentrate.
2:16.2	Whatever it is you choose, choose something
2:20.8	that you've been wanting to do and that would be meaningful for you and this is
2:27.2	something I encourage you to do every single day this week as your challenge.
2:33.7	And I'll be checking in with you throughout the week
2:36.7	to help you keep on track and to cheer you on.
2:41.1	Now I want to share with you just how you will benefit as you meditate this week and as you
2:51.7	concentrate. and as you concentrate, meditation and concentration go hand and hand.
