Along the way,<br> I bumped up against real life and had moments of transformation. It was within these pockets of space that I was able to restructure my narrative of how life occurs to me: as happening to me versus being the change agent,<br> and how.\n\nIt wasn\u2019t a silver bullet of stress management,<br> as much as I initially hoped it would be,<br> just like I did with Vipassana meditation back in September (read that story here). Instead,<br> it is another set of tools by which I can create the life I want to live. The key is that it must be used. It does me no good sitting in the shed,<br> collecting dust. Meditation and mindfulness must be integrated into a consistent and daily practice.\n\nTo read about my experience and what I learned each week,<br> follow the links below to take you through the journey from orientation on January 29 to March 25.
