Hey, welcome back to
your Daily Mindfulness.
So recently I saw a quote on Instagram
and it said, "What do you want to do
every day for the rest of your life?
Do that."
Now it was part of a
personal development page.
And I appreciate the perspective
that this is coming from.
It's about being connected to
your passion, what you care about.
And there's some value to using it as a
guided, guiding question to explore what
you might want to commit to more deeply.
But my response to that question is how
could you possibly know what you want to
do every day for the rest of your life?
I hardly know what I want to eat for
lunch today, let alone what I want
to commit to for the rest of my life.
And maybe I'm being too critical of
this quote, but I think questions
like this put a tremendous amount
of pressure on us to have it all
figured out and to know our life path.
And even if the question is coming from
a pure place and it's meant to get you
in touch with what you love, I just
think it's too big and it can easily
be overwhelming, leading us to, to talk
ourselves out of trying new things that
maybe we're interested in, but fearful
of committing our entire life to.
So I don't believe you need to know what
you're going to do the rest of your life.
I don't believe you even need to know
what you'll do the next five years.
All you can do is try a bunch
of things out and make the best
decision at this point in time about
what feels right to you right now.
Passion for things,
life, it grows over time.
It grows from our interests.
And you always have a right to change your
passion and the path you want to take.
So my alternative question for you, if
you're struggling with this, if you're
trying to figure out what should I do.
Instead of what am I going to
do for the rest of my life?
Maybe ask, what do I feel
inspired to explore more deeply
at this point in my life?
Use mindfulness to connect to
that, to feel that more deeply.
And then trust, the first step you
need to take in that direction.
See how it unfolds.
Maybe it's something you'll
do for the rest of your life.
Maybe it's something you'll do
for a week and try something new.
You always have the right to change.
I'll talk to you in the meditation.
Thank you for your practice and take care.

Vidyamala’s tips on catching anger as it’s happening or about to happen are great - clear, practical, and doable.

The little talks before the meditations are priceless. It's like I've found my peeps. The topics, the quotes, the goals—it all makes so much sense to me, things I want to be thinking and learning about. Most importantly, the meditations are kindness-centered, which I love. It feels like a new way to approach meditation.

Incredible, easy to navigate app. I would highly recommend this app to anyone who wishes to reduce stress and anxiety or simply as an aid to improve overall mental health.
- Kirtus
I love how the app gives me pointers to new things to explore.
- Lydia
So calm and soothing. I love the new bundle with Kelly Boys, she’s brilliant!

Better than Headspace. I've had the paid version of both apps, and I must say I enjoy this one better.

I am very new to meditation, and am so happy that my first introduction to it has been through this app
The first session was fantastic. I feel safe. And supported. Almost like having someone helping me through my difficult time. I’m very grateful for this app.
- Babi
You get a lot of useful tips for handling stress and anxiety in 'real life'.
- Joy
Highly recommend.
- Humanfrst
Kelly Boys is hands down the best. Everytime I click on one of her guided meditations I get excited for the calmness that lies ahead.
