Feeling joy for others can be challenging. If we’re unsatisfied in certain areas of our lives, we may feel resentment or jealousy bubble up when we see others feeling happy. And that’s okay. In those moments, we can bring compassion to how we feel and send loving-kindness to that part of us that wishes to be joyful and at ease too. If you’d like to connect with Sam, follow her on Instagram at @anchored_samTry the Headspace app free for 30 days here!

We often see the pings of the day, the things we or others have said or that didn’t resonate with our values. With meditation, we can reconnect with our emotions, ask ourselves questions without pressure, and just see what feelings emerge. If you’d like to share how mindfulness has impacted your life, you can reach out to Sam on Instagram at @anchored_samTry the Headspace app free for 30 days here!

In many ways, mindfulness meditation inspires discipline and restraint. It helps us to be less reactive and impulsive and more thoughtful, slowing down to consider the potential impact of our impulses on others. If you’d like to share how mindfulness has impacted your life, you can reach out to Sam on Instagram at @anchored_samTry the Headspace app free for 30 days here!

Studies show that greeting our shortcomings with self-compassion has proven to be more effective than being critical. When we speak to ourselves as a supportive friend, we greet our mistakes with a deep sense of safety and acceptance, feeling empowered to learn and grow instead of giving up.If you’d like to connect with Sam, you can follow her on Instagram at @anchored_samTry the Headspace app free for 30 days here!

Everything is interconnected and our lives are an opportunity to practice the skills and qualities that we learn in meditation. Join Eve’s weekly live meditation on Instagram @meditatewitheve 

When we experience something that we enjoy, we want to hold onto it tightly and this can actually take us away from experiencing the joy of it. When we learn to let go of thoughts or feelings about things ending, we can be more present with the experience as it is.

Letting go of resentment is a journey. By learning to accept the pain we feel, we can begin to cultivate friendship towards ourselves and start to let go of the tight grip that resentment can have over us.

When we see suffering, our natural response is to want to do something about it. If we can apply that same logic to share in the joy of others, we can dramatically increase our ability to feel a sense of happiness.

When we practice mindfulness, we are cultivating more perspective. This extends outwards into our environment and can help us make more informed choices about the planet. Read Headspace’s article on climate anxiety here.

There really are so many moments in life that can go differently from what we expect. When we feel stuck in a difficult situation, mindfulness can help us cope with the way we react to the hardships in our lives.If you feel like talking to someone would help, consider reaching out or talking to a healthcare professional. If you are in a relationship that you feel you can’t get out of, a resource to also consider is thehotline.org. 

When the people around us seem difficult — especially those we don’t know — it can be easy to make judgments about them. But there is so much more than meets the eye. Remembering that we don’t know everyone’s story frees us from assumptions, and opens the door to accepting others as they are.If you feel like you are struggling, many people benefit from and find it healing to accept counseling or other formal support. If you think such support might be helpful for you, please reach out to a healthcare professional. There is no shame in seeking help. And of course, look to friends and family where you can, knowing there might be many others around you who are also struggling. 

Not knowing can feel deeply uncomfortable. But it can also open us up to new possibilities and discoveries. Thinking we know all the answers can really limit our perspectives. 

Ever heard of the saying “don’t cry over spilt milk?” Well today, Eve talks about how spilt chicken soup in her handbag could have derailed an important day, and how mindfulness helped her with a positive outlook.

Our thoughts are not always the truth, and sometimes, we can even distort what’s really happening. And if we are anxious about a situation, it can be easy to catastrophize.  Meditation can help us to approach our thoughts in a more skillful way.

How many times have you been in a situation where you had to try something new and thought, “I can’t do that”? The truth is, we don't actually know what we’re capable of until we are sometimes forced to try it out. 

The dialogue we have internally with ourselves can be the opposite of what happens in reality. And if our experience does not match our expectations, it can create a lot of shame, resentment, and anger. Sometimes having a communication strategy can be helpful to make expectations clear, and as a result, may bring us closer to our loved ones.

Practicing mindfulness while we cook and eat can bring the act of feeding ourselves a new sense of joy. Mindful cooking and eating is a true exploration of the senses, and an invitation to get curious about our lived experiences.

When we’re busy, slowing down can seem like an impossible task. But mindfulness may help us connect to the present moment, so life doesn’t feel like a blur.

We’re living in times that feel extraordinarily heavy. It might feel strange to focus on ourselves, especially if we feel that we are not suffering in the same way as others. But truly the only way we can show compassion to others is if we first understand our own pain and suffering.

Modern life and stressors can keep us from resting when we need to. We can learn to work with the stressors in our lives so relaxation comes more easily when we need to tap into it.

Anxiety is a normal part of life. If we turn towards our anxiety and give it space to be there, we can see the root of where those feelings come from. This can give us clarity and perspective about our anxiety and help it to soften.

Our mind has a tendency to whisk us back to the past or catapult us into the future. Today, Eve explains how mindfulness can bring us back to the present moment and help us flourish. 

Communication can be loaded with our own agendas, and often it happens unconsciously. The next time someone needs to talk, see what happens when you actively engage the body and mind in open and kind listening, with no agenda.

The past two years have taken a huge toll on our mental and physical health. Practicing mindfulness makes us more aware of what we need as individuals. It also helps us to see that we all struggle, and are part of a shared human experience.

Mindfulness can help us suspend judgment and trust that things will unfold in their own way. When we live in the present moment, we can let go and accept things as they are.

How can we find meaning in moments when we don’t agree with someone? When we can learn to engage with our resistance, we’re also learning to find ways to communicate with compassion and skill. 

Letting go is a term that’s often used in mindfulness, but putting it into practice takes time. To let go means to be in the here and now, relinquishing any control of what happens next. So what are we holding on to when we’re afraid of letting go? 

So much in life is uncertain, and that becomes especially clear when our trust is broken by others. But we can use mindfulness to regain faith and trust in the world around us.

Practicing gratitude is something that’s often talked about. But forcing ourselves to be grateful can lead us to feel the complete opposite way. Today, Dora guides us through a mindfulness practice that can help us get in touch with feelings of gratitude, without the pressure.  

Today, John talks about how he went from working in business to being a musician, why doing what he loves has made his life better, and offers some ideas for how you can gently move your life in a more positive direction. 

Today, John Legend sheds light on how he keeps his marriage going strong, and the importance of recognizing and making time for what really matters in life. 

Today, John Legend tells us how he organizes his busy life, and the routines he has in place to make sure he “shows up” for work and his family. 

Today, John Legend talks about how music helped him deal with difficult moments in his life, how he stayed hopeful, and the importance of keeping our hearts open to love. 

Husband, father, and Grammy Award winning musician John Legend is here all week with insights about discovering, cultivating, and doing what you love. Today, John talks about uncovering what brings you joy in life. 

Contentment invites us to see things how they are, and be with them as they are. Instead of ignoring how we feel or trying to hold on to a particular feeling, contentment is the awareness and acceptance of life as it is.

When we listen to someone, we often hope they say the right thing or think about our response. By practicing deep listening, we can hear important details from others, and ourselves, that often go unnoticed. 

When we’re in conflict with someone, it’s easy for our emotions to take over and create a divide: Us vs. Them. But the more we hold on to that conflict, the stronger it grows and weighs us down. By remembering, “this person is like me,” we can begin to let go of negative feelings.

When we let go of some of the narratives we’ve created about our bodies, we make space for their magnificence, perfection, and brilliance. If you’re up for it, join Dora in a quick body scan meditation to practice gratitude for your body.

Whether we’re in nature, viewing beautiful artwork, or hearing our favorite song, we can use mindfulness to fully recognize “awe” and awaken a deeper sense of connection, curiosity, and compassion within ourselves. You can find “The Body: A guide for occupants” by Bill Bryson here.

Our bodies do so much for us. With mindfulness, we gain awareness of the body and can better connect to how we feel and experience life.

As humans, we’re wired for connection, so rejection can really sting. When rejections happen, we can use mindfulness to remember that we are not alone.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you think about a huge task that’s been put in front of you. But if you focus on the small things to get a big result, the road ahead looks much less daunting.You can find Will Smith’s memoir, “Will,” here. 

Psychologists have found that negative events or happenings have a greater impact on us than positive ones do. But it’s possible to change that by repeatedly looking out for the goodness in life.

We may not be able to change our external circumstances like the pandemic or a monotonous schedule, but we can change how we choose to face challenging situations.You can find “The Seven Levels of Intimacy: The Art of Loving and the Joy of Being Loved” by Matthew Kelly here..

Anger can be a messenger, revealing our intrinsic desires to be heard, seen, and understood. We can use meditation and mindfulness to allow anger to move through us, instead of being stuck in it.

Fear is an evolutionary process, designed to keep us safe. However, what we’ve learned to fear in modern times has changed immensely. We can look to mindfulness to help us work with our fear, instead of being shaken by its presence.

When we’re able to approach sadness with a sense of mindfulness and compassion, we can break free from its grips and learn to be in harmony with it, as if it’s a life-long friend.* *Please note: The story shared in this episode discusses child loss, so for those sensitive to this topic, please listen at your own discretion. If you are looking for support after experiencing child loss, here are some resources.

If we can remember how precious we are, and how precious each and every moment is, our sense of inadequacy begins to dissolve.

Sometimes we need to take a step back from difficult emotions like sadness, anger, and fear, and look at them from a different perspective. By doing that, we can witness them without becoming attached to their stories.

Is there a part of you that you’ve been previously shamed for? Your name, your heritage, and personal expression are something to be proud of, instead of something to run away from. Embracing these things can help lead us to our destinies in life.

The only constant in life is change. And some of us embrace it more than others — especially when we think about how we as people are changing all the time. Today, dig up some old photos, and appreciate the you that you used to be! 

All of the sensory information we receive every single day is filtered by one part of the brain: the reticular activating system, or RAS. We can encourage the RAS, and make new connections in our brain, by being more intentional with our focus. Today, focus on the good things to forge more positive connections.

How is your breathing? Very often, when we get stressed or overwhelmed, we can lose track of our breath. Our breath is what guides us. Focus on it to check in with yourself, and to return to the present moment. Each breath holds a sense of possibility.

When you express a negative emotion, how often are you told to “be positive” or “stay strong”? Today, we want to reframe how you think about strength. To be human is to experience the full range of the human experiences, so the next time you think to choose stoic strength over tears, consider allowing yourself to feel what comes natural to you.

What new thing have you always wanted to try? In today's podcast we challenge you to be curious and explore to uncover new talents and abilities.

As human beings, we are all connected to one another in our feelings, through nature, and so much more. Today, we are reminded how we are not alone and also not so different from one another.The book where trees talk to each other underground is called Underland by Robert Macfarlane

There are so many different ways in which music can move us. In today’s podcast, we learn how relaxing with music is fundamentally different from relaxing into meditation. 

 We are continually modifying behaviors based on the signals we are getting from outside influences. Through meditation, we are able to let go of the manufactured identities we build for ourselves and the identities that others place on us. Learn to reset the mind and let go of these unhealthy tendencies. 

Repetition is valuable in meditation. By repeating the same actions, we are able to train the mind and find comfort in the practice. Inversely, each moment and each breath is also different from the last, making each practice a new experience.Practice with Headspace.

Going into the weekend, we are challenged to bring more happiness and joy into our practices. 

Learn how to connect with the world to transform the ways in which we feel, think, act, and speak. 

In today’s podcast, we learn about a skillful approach rooted in love, patience, and acceptance. 

Today, we learn about this paradox and how to become comfortable with its relevance in our lives. 

In today’s podcast, we discuss why we avoid challenges and how facing them can be beneficial in our lives.

We are only humans, and humans experience strong emotions. No matter how long you’ve been practicing meditation, you will always experience strong feelings. Meditation simply helps us process these emotions and shift to a mindful space where we can better respond. 

When figuring out your life’s purpose, two concepts come to mind: patience and observation. By having patience, you’re allowing things to develop in their own time and learning to enjoy the journey. By observing life, you’re opening yourself to the present moment and noticing the signs that will guide you to your purpose. And what helps with patience and observation? Meditation.

Racist encounters, directly or indirectly, can cause strong emotions and trauma. Daily meditation can help lessen the intensity of these feelings and help build stress resilience, but if you’re just beginning your meditation journey, you may need more support. Pay attention to your body if you’re holding onto racial trauma, and seek out a therapist or counselor if you need to.

In life, we encounter certain people, places, or things that bring us joy. Maybe it’s a person who raises your mood with their positive energy, or a daily activity that makes you feel good. We encourage you to intentionally give attention to all the pleasant things around you and reflect on how they make you feel. Try it out! You’ll start to notice all the positive things in your life.

Sometimes making friends can be easy, and sometimes it’s hard. Desiring connection and deep interpersonal relationships makes us human, but remember to avoid compromising our authentic self for someone else. Forcing relationships rarely work, so take time to learn when potential connections can be made and cultivate them. 

There’s been a tremendous amount of loss during the pandemic. Loss of loved ones and the way we live our lives. It’s okay to feel what you’re feeling. The pandemic has taken a toll on us all, so remember to be gentle with yourself. 

Not all workplaces are the same. Some work environments can be toxic, leading workers to feel pressure or anxiety. A way to counter an unhealthy workplace is by promoting wellness at your job. We all have to work, but wouldn’t it be nice if we could do so in a happy and healthy environment?

We’d like to believe that things are always either black or white, but that’s simply not the case with emotions. Having conflicting emotions all at once can be confusing, but it’s perfectly okay to sit with our different emotions and find ourselves within that gray space. 

It’s common to feel like you aren’t making visible progress in your meditation practice. We often like to see results right away, but meditation is actually something you grow with over time. When you hit this learning plateau, take time to reflect on why you started meditating in the first place and what progress looks to you.

We can’t avoid hard times. In moments of stress, you can always lean on your meditation practice and use intention-setting to guide your decisions on how to respond to challenging situations. Hardships are inevitable, but we can equip ourselves with the awareness to find solutions in the present moment. 

Everyone deals with issues differently and in their own way. A particular solution might work for one person, but it might not be appropriate for another. And that’s totally okay. Mindfulness encourages us to notice what is happening in the present moment and adapt to our needs. Try to reflect on what works for you and what doesn’t.

We can sometimes underestimate our influence on the people around us — positive and negative. As you begin your meditation journey, think about how your mindfulness practice will affect your nearest and dearest. You might notice a shift in your personal relationships. 

There are moments in life that require serious attention. But sometimes we get so caught up in this attitude that we forget to enjoy the present. Try not to take life so seriously and learn how to make space for laughter. You might be surprised at how good it can feel to smile.

Practicing a “beginner’s mind” asks us to drop expectations and other assumptions we formed through past experiences. Essentially, approach every moment as if we’re experiencing it for the very first time. Try it out and apply a “beginner’s mind” to every area of your life. 

Holding on to negative or even positive experiences can often lead us to feel stuck. When ruminating on these thoughts or experiences, we’re closing ourselves off from the present moment. In situations like these, it’s best to practice mindfulness and gently let go of the thoughts we’re holding onto and bring ourselves back to the present moment. 

When fixated on the end goal, we often lose sight of the present moment. We can easily get wrapped up in our ambitions, which can cause stress, anxiety, and depression in our lives. How about we appreciate the present and the journey we’re on? As we wrap up this week, remember that all of the concepts we learned so far are interrelated: non-judging, patience, acceptance, trust, and non-striving.

Learn to listen and trust your inner voice. It’s easy to fall into a space of judgment when deciding if you should follow your intuition or not. Fears of making mistakes arise, but remember that mistakes are just lessons learned. It takes time to learn to trust yourself, and you can cultivate this trust through meditation. 

When deciding to make a change in your life, it’s best to first accept where you're at in the present moment. You don't have to like where you are, but there's a difference between not liking something and harshly judging something. Learning this distinction is crucial when trying to make meaningful changes in your life.

In today’s world, we expect everything in an instant, including accomplishing our New Year’s resolutions. We’re so used to immediate gratification that practicing patience can feel uneasy. Don’t be afraid to let things unfold in their own time. 

Sticking to New Year’s resolutions is tough. Oftentimes we set unrealistic expectations and then judge ourselves for not meeting them. But what if we used mindfulness to help us accomplish our goals? For the next eight days, Kessonga will focus on one of eight concepts of mindfulness and discuss how incorporating these practices can help us successfully execute our goals. 

The freedom to express and be creative is often challenged by the restrictions we place on ourselves. It is important to nurture our childlike ability to  freely express our creativity. 

Everyone has a legacy. It may not be one that impacts the masses, but you are impacting someone, whether you realize it or not. How will you be remembered? How do you show up in the world? 

Experiences, sights, sounds, and emotions are all things our brain consciously and unconsciously processes. The more information we consume, the more energy we use. 

We move through life making choices with anticipation for an expected result. Sometimes, this can lead to disappointment that stops us from living in the moment and letting life just be what it is. Learn to feel comfortable with letting go of your anticipations. 

There may be someone who is capable of making something you love look effortless. And when we’re beginning to learn something new, we can get discouraged by the amount of effort we have to put in. This is common in learning. Don’t judge your progress by someone else’s mastery.

Think of the last event you went to. Now recall if everyone had their phones out. How much of our experiences are actually being experienced in the moment, and how often are we trying to capture moments to share at some future date? It’s the tension of all great photography — moments can only be captured when we are fully present, but by capturing them we disrupt the present. 

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. 

What happens when you want to go off the Headspace app and be more spiritual in the world? This was a new one for us. But the essence of the mind is the same in all scenarios, spiritual or not. The goal is to be present. That’s it. 

Entering a flow state through physical activity is meditative and focusing on our physical well-being is essential for living a long and happy life, but these things cannot replace the quality of mind cultivated by formal meditation training. 

If you were to line a bunch of babies up, you’d notice that there’s a difference in their nature. We’re born with these qualities. But our personalities develop over time, with our experiences. Don’t get so caught up in these surface-level traits that you don’t notice who you really are. 

Part 5 of “The Funtervention”. Today is the last day of our amazing “Funtervention” with Catherine Price. Look, adulting is hard. We have bills, work, kids, relationships, and somewhere in all of that we’re supposed to look after ourselves! Well we need to put it on the calendar!

This week on Radio Headspace we have a very special guest host, Catherine Price. Catherine is an award winning science journalist and author of the new book The Power of Fun. Over the last few years Catherine has been researching and writing about our relationship to fun. She wants to know what it is, why we need it, and why it’s often elusive. Her conclusions were so fascinating we decided it would be perfect for our listeners. For the next 5 days, Catherine is staging a, “Funtervention”. Each day she’ll break down what she’s learned and share how we can all live a happier, healthier, and more enjoyable life. You can learn more about Catherine’s work at HowtoHaveFun.com

Life can be really serious. And those serious issues demand serious attention. But for a lot of the everyday stuff, why not try to smile instead? Life is a lot more fun if you can laugh at it. This weekend try to play, and see what happens.

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. 

Mindfulness is good for many things, but we tend to look at it differently depending on where we’ve learned it. Western mindfulness centers around awareness and Eastern mindfulness is more about compassion. But like the sun, both emit light and warmth, we need both awareness and compassion to truly live mindfully.

Sometimes, thoughts that really scare us can arise. And if there is the chance of immediate harm for you or someone around you, please seek medical attention as quickly as possible. But for other scary thoughts, we tend to push them down. We judge them and judge ourselves from having them. But we don’t have to. It’s our job to just witness the mind as it is. 

Itches have a way of taking over the body. It can be all we think about and we often scratch and scratch with little relief. This is common with physical discomfort. Whenever we notice a twinge, we immediately go to change it. But what if you sat with it for a moment instead? Explore sitting with discomfort and see what happens.

The entire planet is a living, breathing organism. It changes every day. The air we breathe could have been created thousands of miles away. And when we sit and notice the breath, we notice that each one is different, as is each moment. This weekend, pause and try to notice life as it unfolds. Learn more about your ad choices.

 Humans have a tendency to focus on the future. We tend to get so caught up in the future, concentrating on what we don’t have or what’s to come, that we don’t see what’s right in front of us.

The next time you catch yourself asking, are we there yet, pull yourself back to the present and notice what is happening right now.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Stress isn’t inherently good or bad, it’s simply a natural response to something that feels threatening.
