We're back with all new-episodes of Radio Headspace. Meditation does not mean that we are repeating the same task over and over. Though we are repeating an action, we can have new experiences by reframing our minds, changing our moods, and thinking new thoughts. For more on meditation, try out Headspace for free.

Blue Zones are regions of the world where people live longer and happier than anywhere else. There are lots of reasons for this — what they eat, how much they move.

We’re excellent at noticing when we start to feel angry, or sad, or happy, but when’s the last time you noticed when a mood ended or changed? Remember, emotion is temporary, and feeling is finite. The more often we notice the end of a feeling that challenges us, the easier we can find a place of peace and a calm mind.

The more we shout the benefits of meditating, very often the further we get from the actual experience of doing it. If you have someone in your life that you want to try something you love, rather than talking it up, encourage them to experience it for themselves.

We’ve heard a lot of questions about happiness lately. Mostly, “Is it bad if I’m feeling happy?” That assumes there is a choice in how we feel. That question also forgets that there is enough space in the mind for compassion for someone else’s suffering, and enjoyment of your own life. Today, give yourself the freedom to embrace whatever feeling arises for you.  Be sure to share, download, and subscribe to catch new episodes of Radio Headspace starting Monday, October 12, 2020.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We’ve heard from a few people that during this time, their work feels unessential. Maybe you feel this way. If you do, remember that you always have the opportunity to be of service.

The weekend gives you the opportunity to relax and let go — but some things stick in your mind, nagging at it, weighing you down. It may be an unfinished task or an unforgiven incident. We suffer when we hold onto things, but if you can find a way to let go, to retell your story, forgiveness will set you free.

Mindfulness is a non-judgmental state, but when we have an intellectual understanding of mindfulness, but not the experiential knowledge, we can use it to judge others. Today, focus on your experiences to empathize and be a source of compassion, not judgment.  Be sure to share, download & subscribe to catch new episodes of Radio Headspace starting Monday, October 12, 2020.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We place a lot of value on our physical and mental health. You may even meditate or do yoga. But if you’re present and embracing loving kindness during your meditation or in a yoga class, but driving away screaming at someone in traffic, you’re not fully embracing the philosophies of those practices. Today, focus on aligning your attitude with your actions.  Be sure to share, download & subscribe to catch new episodes of Radio Headspace starting Monday, October 12, 2020.  Learn more about your ad choices.

If you’re re-examining your life right now, you’re not alone. We’re taking stock of what we like and what we would like to change. But with change, no matter how positive, can often come fear. Fear of not knowing what the end result will be. This week, try to maintain a spirit of exploration. Try something new for the sake of doing it, not to reach a final outcome.  Be sure to share, download & subscribe to catch new episodes of Radio Headspace starting Monday, October 12, 2020.  Learn more about your ad choices.
