Hello, my friends! Welcome to the first edition of Mindful Life of 2021! Wow, what a ride 2020 was for us all, and most of the processes aren't even over. We can all still feel the heat, the energy build-up for great changes taking place even as we grapple with the new panorama laid out before us by the happenings of the past year. I don't think anyone can say this is an easy time. We're confronted with new world realities that we must now face as a species, not just as individuals. The ordering of the world is shifting greatly and we simply can't afford to be selfish or self-centered anymore, not if we're truly seeking to improve our existence and return our home planet to harmony. We have no choice but to face our collective demons and find it in ourselves to trust each other, to build bridges and connect in mutual strength. With this in mind, let's reconsider the value of the blockchain and of a platform such as Hive in the coming landscape. Is it really about recognition and money? Or is it about an essential need to construct effective networks of human knowledge and skill? With these questions, let's dive into today's curation!
Our Universe is made up of and filled with Magic. It is infinite and unknowable, composed of questions. Most people dread uncertainty and seek the certain as a saving grace, but the Universe is not certain, that is the essence of its beauty, and this is what this wonderful spell-bound prose by @trucklife-family reminds us: that life is a wonder that we must embrace, shedding all fears and doubts! ###

We all have hidden codes, things that are buried so deep into our being that they may be inaccessible even to us. The mystery of life can either be a burden or a wonder, depending on how we choose to approach it and whether we share it with others. In her reply to @ecotrain's question of the week, @marivic10 exposes her view on the topic of secrets and their value to us. ###

Encoded in every ancient philosophy and mystical tradition is the revelation of the illusory, transitory and cyclical nature of this material existence. The need for safety and certainty understandably leads many to reject this view. However, I can tell you from experience that the path to true freedom lies in accepting this knowledge, and @julescape shares his own vision of this in this amazing post. ###

Perhaps the key challenge that we encountered last year and continue to endure now, is the general mandatory social distancing rules imposed on most countries due to the pandemic emergency, without a clear idea of the consequences to mental health. In this contribution, @whitelightxpress discusses some of these consequences and what we can do to heal the rifts of isolation. ###

The most readily noticeable consequence of global lockdowns is the inability to personally engage with other people, which has increased feelings of helplessness and abandonment for millions. In this post, @rafabvr shares his own experience in this regard, as well as the methods and habits he's used to keep himself motivated and active, among them, the use of digital platforms like this one. ###

Speaking of habits, especially in the context of the new year, which is usually packed with personal resolutions, here's an interesting and simple method shared by @rebet, which she's used time and again to start new routines by setting easily achievable goals that can boost motivation to persevere in any task and activity. I've tried similar approaches and they're indeed extremely useful. ###

A popular resolution for every start of year is starting a practice for physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. If you're interested in this, I'm sure you'll find @perkysleen's insight on the principles that tie Karate and Yoga together quite useful and fascinating. Together with his companion @vicnzia, he's delved quite deeply into the history and applications of these ways of life. ###
