## Key Takeaways
- Begin with three deep breaths to settle both body and mind before meditating
- Check in with yourself — noticing what's present in your body and mind with kind, curious awareness
- Rest your full attention on the breath, feeling each in-breath and out-breath as it happens
- When the mind wanders (and it will), gently bring it back — each return strengthens your muscle of mental attention
- Each breath is completely new and unique — your life is happening right here, right now
- Close the practice by bringing to mind a personal intention to carry into the rest of your day
- This meditation was recorded live at the Mindful FIRE Legends Community meeting — a community for people on the path to financial independence
