Today we’re going to talk about doing what you can do versus what you can’t.
Loving-kindness meditations are all about allowing ourselves to have the things like joy and happiness in our life.
If I was able to give advice to my adolescent self, this is what I would say.

What is your first memory have shame? Perhaps it is from childhood after being placed in your first time-out. Or maybe you remember it more clearly in your teenage years.
