In so many aspects of our lives, we tend to think of the completion of a process from which we move on.
\\nWhen we \\u2018learn\\u2019 something, for example, we feel like the process of learning is done and we can move on to the next thing.
\\nAnd this is something, I think, people associate with mindfulness and meditation as well.
\\nBut even though there is a terminal point to learning about mindfulness - we have learned the practices, so we\\u2019re done, right? - there is also an aspect of ongoing practice that is very important to understand and embrace.
\\nJust as life is a moment-to-moment experience, our practice becomes an effortless moment-to-moment course correction.
\\nIn today\\u2019s episode, I explain this in detail:
\\nAnd I also talk about how this concept applies to forgiveness!
\\nBecause, like the example above, there is an intuitive feeling that forgiveness is like learning: once we\\u2019ve forgiven someone, they stay forgiven.
\\nAnd while this may work at some levels of forgiveness, it most certainly does not work at all levels of forgiveness.
\\nConsider this: someone who cuts in front of us in traffic needs only to be forgiven once because we\\u2019ll probably never even see them again.
\\nBut what about a more significant figure in our lives?
\\nLike a parent?
\\nOr a child?
\\nOr a spouse or a friend?
\\nForgiving these people will take more effort; will take more practice.
\\nI have found it very helpful to consider forgiveness as this kind of moment-to-moment course correction.
\\nAnd I hope you find it helpful, too.
