Even if they aren't particularly into making resolutions, for many people the New Year still feels like a fresh start: a time for taking stock, for reviewing what's passed, for turning the page on one chapter and starting another.

In today’s meditation, teacher Frank Ostaseski asks: How do you meet endings?

We can learn a lot about how we face the new by looking at how we let go of the old, and here Ostaseski offers a practice to surrender with curiosity and gratitude.

By drawing our attention to endings and our developed habits about the way we meet endings, we can learn how to step fully into our lives with appreciation and gratitude, says Frank Ostaseski.

👺 Most of us have an Inner Critic — and that interior voice can be loud ... & mean.

🌠 Shifting how we speak & respond to ourselves can dramatically shape our whole experience of the world.

🦁 We get braver when it’s okay to make mistakes.
💜 We get kinder when imperfection doesn’t mean we’re bad.
🦉 We get wiser when we spend less time criticizing ourselves & more time learning.

🙏 Research shows that gratitude contributes substantially to individual well-being—and learning gratitude early in life is a major boon for resilience and strong relationships.

This week, Giselle Shardlow from Kids Yoga Stories shares 7 family gratitude practices you can use to help your kids notice and appreciate what's around them. 🦋🌼🍲

If you’ve grown weary of traditional resolutions, but you still carry a glimmer of hope that positive change is possible for us imperfect humans—then you’ll love mindful intention-setting.

In this practice from his mini-course, mindful leadership trainer Rich Fernandez shows us how to vividly envision the “imagine if” possibilities. When we tap into meaning, passion, and a felt sense of welcoming what we long for, it’s easier to get clear on the purpose behind our pursuits.

This is a 13-minute mindfulness practice from Rich Fernandez that guides us through setting an intention for our future lives.
