Today we’re talking about all things mindfulness and meditation. Specifically, we’re going to be talking about “dropping in,” being present, and not being anxious or stressed out about how things should have gone.
As our guest today, Jonathan Lehmann, talks about, that was the world he was in before — constantly worrying about the past and the future. Through his journey of practicing mindfulness and meditation, he was able to overcome these beliefs and begin living in the moment. His mission now is to help others also be able to live in the moment and connect with their present selves. So, he created the app 7Mind: Meditation Reinvented, which that takes you through guided meditations. You only need a few minutes every day to soon be on your own path to becoming healthier, happier, less stressed, and more productive throughout your day!
In this episode, Jonathan shares his insights on becoming present; everything he’s learned in his journey to connecting with the idea of becoming more present; his tips and tools on how you can also achieve this; and many of his other ideas on mindfulness, meditation, and living your truth.

Relationship Tip of the Week
Just like meditation, mindfulness, and paying attention are so useful in your own everyday life; they are incredibly useful in relationships as well. Often, we end up relegating our relationship to the side and falling into habits that maybe don’t serve us. We forget to take the time to pause and look at the relationship and say: Which of this do I want to keep and which do I not?
It is very important to have check-ins and mindfulness in your relationship. Give the same honor to your relationship as you do for yourself. Ultimately, it’s up to you and your partner to bring that attention and mindfulness to your relationship.
