We're making an interstate move this year. I'm focusing on doing what's in my control and letting everything else fall into place.

Big move! Have you explored the dichotomy of control guided meditations I've created?

I have the one on Insight Timer bookmarked and use it frequently. If you have others, I'd love to use them.

"Fortunately" the stoic gods provide a lot of challenges these year, and it has only been 13 days! The biggest challenge is of course staying true to the path. Looking forward to learning more

It seems that the Stoic gods want to see you rise to the challenge. 🙏

Biggest challenge will be managing my relationship with time, practicing a sort of "relaxed" discipline, as opposed to the relentlessly hard-charging type. A focus will be eliminating everything extraneous that I can, so that I cut down on the bandwidth required for focusing on what's really important to me.

Not seeing friends, we're in TOTAL LOCKDOWN here-! north Wales, UK. The future is very uncertain. I'm not sure if I will remember how to be social. I'm 70, but still enjoy the outdoors!

I didn't finish that - I meant that Gaia is getting a welcome break.
