MPDR Archives Blog Post #94 - November 1, 2014

In this moment
bring curious attention
to the sensations of breathing
for the next three breaths  

“As part of my “price of security” mind-set, I had long assumed that the only route to success was harsh self-criticism.  However, research shows that “firm but kind” is the smarter play.  People trained in self-compassion meditation are more likely to quit smoking and stick to a diet.  They are better able to bounce back from missteps.  All successful people fail.  If you can create an inner environment where your mistakes are forgiven and flaws are candidly confronted, your resilience expands exponentially”
 -Dan Harris (excerpt from 10 % Happier)
