Hey friends, welcome to

your Daily Mindfulness.

Hey, so I just wanted

to check in with you.

How did you go with bringing the

beginner's mind into your day yesterday?

So don't worry if you forgot and if you

didn't see that session that's okay.

We can try this again today.

In this session, we're going to

explore this theme a little more.

So the beginner's mind refers

to this quality of meeting our

moments and our life with an

attitude of openness and curiosity.

You could say it's a way that we

can see the world with fresh eyes.

And that's important, you know,

because we can so easily view the

world around us through avail of

judgments, beliefs, and opinions.

And, you know, when we think we already

know something or someone, it really does

limit our capacity to truly see what is.

Importantly, when we think we

already know something, we often

stop paying true attention, you know.

Have you ever noticed, for example, that

if you traveled to a new place, you easily

find yourself in a state of wonderment,at

the sights and sounds and smells.

But when you're in your hometown, you

stop paying attention to what's there to

be seen, to be felt to be known because

you think you've already seen it before.

So often we just tune out and we also do

this to the people that are closest to us.

We're so prone to not seeing them with

fresh eyes and taking them for granted.

And when we lose this gift of seeing

things with a beginner's mind, so often

we ended up missing out on the fullness,

the richness and the connection that's

available to us really in our daily life.

So here's the invitation.

Today, see if you can bring in the

beginner's mind a little bit more.

Try to take in the sights,

the sounds, the people and the

places with fresh eyes and ears.

And when you reconnect with this fresh

way of being, it'll unlock your ability

to be truly present for the moments of

your life and the people that you love.
