The Reboot Podcast
One gentle exhale before the blank page of a new year unfolds. Take a moment to settle, reflect, and set intentions with this guided meditation recorded by Reboot Coach Marty Janowitz. You may find this centering practice valuable as you reflect on all that has happened in the past year and set intentions for the year to come. At Reboot, we often use meditation to sit with thoughts, feelings, and other parts of our experience that we so seldom make time for in our busy work lives. Find a quiet place to spend some time surfacing and working through whatever issue is present.
