Episode 3028

Dr. Kelly Flanagan's insightful article, "The 5-Minute New Year's Resolution That Will Make All Things New," challenges the conventional view of life as a linear progression, emphasizing instead its circular nature. Flanagan invites readers to embrace life's rhythms through a simple yet profound five-minute daily breathing exercise, illuminating how this practice can transform our perception of progress and fulfillment.

Quotes to ponder:

"Life isn’t a straight line. It’s a circle. If you can’t accept that, it can be pretty depressing."

"For five minutes a day, just breathe. Breathe in. Breathe out. [...] Each breath—while seemingly the same as the one before it—is different, unique, new."
