10% Happier with Dan Harris

NOTE

Practice Without Pretense

Embrace the practice without fixation on performance or progress. Engage fully in the action of practicing, akin to simply sitting or walking, rather than becoming preoccupied with self-assessment. Trust in the long-standing efficacy of these practices, supported by scientific evidence, to foster positive change. Recognize that true liberation, as emphasized in Buddhist teachings, comes from letting go of the desire to climb or achieve, steering clear of craving. Focus on the experience of practice itself, which is vital for mental freedom.
