A year ago, I began The Still Point Minute after the idea came to me during meditation: create one minute of stillness every day for an entire year.
At the time, it sounded simple. One minute—how difficult could that be?
As it turns out, one minute repeated every day for a year is quite a commitment. There were times when I became ill and lost my voice. There were days when motivation disappeared, the work felt overwhelming, and I honestly wondered, What the heck was I thinking?
But somewhere along the way, the project became about more than recording meditations. It became about keeping a promise I had made to myself.
We often work very hard to keep our promises to other people, yet we can be surprisingly quick to break the promises we make privately within ourselves. Completing The Still Point Minute taught me that honoring those private commitments is one of the ways we build trust in ourselves.
In this episode, I reflect on the imperfect, sometimes humorous, and deeply meaningful journey of completing the series. I also invite you into a closing meditation to recognize something you have completed—or something within you that is still asking you not to give up.
Because sometimes the accomplishment is not that everything went according to plan.
Sometimes the accomplishment is simply being able to say: I kept my word to myself.
Many Blessings.
