Hi everyone,

This is a combined weekly insight for last week and this. Both insights are podcast episodes, and here is a short article explaining them.

### The mythical daily meditation practice

There is a small fraction of society that can add significant tasks to their schedule and integrate them into their lives through willpower. This is less than 5% of the population. Everyone else has to juggle many responsibilities and tasks and varying levels of time pressure. Adopting the mythical 30-minute daily meditation practice becomes increasingly impractical as time goes on.

*We need to find ways to integrate mindfulness and meditation practices into our lives rather than change our lives to fit around them.*

I find that committed meditators have integrated meditation into their lives. They have found a practice that works for them at a time and a place that benefits them.

It must be a frictionless practice as part of a strategy rather than an attempt to enforce a meditation schedule with a cast-iron will.

In this podcast, I discuss this and teach some frictionless meditations.

### Equanimity

Equanimity is a state of mental calmness and emotional stability, especially in adversity. It is the ability to remain composed and level-headed amid chaos. Many people strive to achieve equanimity because it allows them to handle difficult situations with grace and poise and to make clear-headed decisions.

There is a mountain of supporting research to provide evidence that mindfulness promotes equanimity for regular practitioners.

With equanimity, thoughts and emotions become less intense.  
Letting go of intense Thoughts and emotions is a crucial mindfulness and meditation practice. I discuss equanimity and teach letting go and releasing practices in this podcast.
