Happy New Year!
In the episode of the Podcast, I cover a varying array of topics including key lessons learned from the books 'The Experience of Insight' by Joseph Goldstein, and 'Waking Up' by Sam Harris. I talk about the mental factors known as Hindrances and how meditation can release you us them. I also update you on my 100 Day Gong and  I answer a question that's been bugging me - 'If I come up with me best ideas when I let my mind wander, what is the benefit of meditation'? 

In this third episode I talk more about The Urban Monk, and the 100 Day Gong Challenge that I will be starting, as we go into 2021 as part of an effort to control my stress levels, which in turn should help me become calmer, less reactive and ultimately, happier. (and nicer to be around)

In this second episode of The Inner Now podcast, I talk about Mind Journals and how they can be a really useful, but sometimes restrictive tool as I've experienced in the past couple of weeks. I also talk about the book The Urban Monk by Pedram Shojai, who name I probably mispronounce many times, the Waking Up with Sam Harris meditation app and also I talk openly about struggles with maintaining a work life balance and how that's impacted my ability to meditate.
