We’re excited to launch a new three-part series on the Moonshots Podcast, exploring the timeless teachings of Jon Kabat-Zinn, founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and a pioneer in bringing mindfulness into mainstream medicine, education, and leadership.
In Episode 280: “Attitudes of Mindfulness (Part 1),” hosts Mike Parsons and Mark Pearson Freeland dive into the first three of Kabat-Zinn’s seven core attitudes—principles that can transform how we think, feel, and show up in the world.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode
1. Beginner’s Mind
Let go of your assumptions and see the world with fresh eyes. This mindset opens the door to curiosity, creativity, and learning in every moment.
2. Non-Judging
Stop labeling your thoughts and experiences as good or bad. This reduces stress and helps you become more aware of your inner narrative.
3. Acceptance
Acceptance is not resignation—it’s the powerful act of meeting reality as it is, so you can respond with clarity and strength.
These three attitudes form the bedrock of any mindfulness practice—and they’re incredibly relevant for managing stress, staying focused, and navigating change.
