Equanimity refers to a state of being where we are able to maintain a balanced and steady state of mind regardless of what’s happening in our lives, whether it’s on a small scale or a large scale. I felt inspired to offer this talk for the new year because I think it's a good time to be reminded that we have the capacity to relate to our experiences differently. On any given day, and especially within an entire year, there are so many things that happen to us—big and small—that are out of our control and can throw us off center. But through cultivating equanimity we can stay rooted regardless what comes our way.
