Acknowledge the present moment and start anew each day: Use the morning to let go of the past, reflect on the new day's possibilities, and approach it with a renewed mindset
Every day presents an opportunity for a fresh start. Meditation expert Oren J. Soffer, who has practiced meditation since 1997, encourages listeners to use the morning as a time to let go of the past and start anew. This simple practice involves acknowledging the present moment, feeling the body, and taking a few deep breaths. By reflecting silently on the new day and its possibilities, we can clean the slate and approach the day with a renewed mindset. This practice, as shared by Oren on the 10% Happier podcast, can make a significant difference in our daily lives and mindset. So, instead of waiting for a new year to begin anew, take advantage of the fresh start that each day brings.
