Day 3
Meditation Fail
Today I deviated from the first two days of the journeying exercise in two ways:
I laid down to meditate and journey.

Challenge: Choose something new to learn, try or experience for 30 days in order to awaken and utilize the “beginner’s mind.”
Easy enough, right? The possibilities are only limited by the relatively few — speaking from a human experience perspective — things you’ve learned in your lifetime.
