We Don’t Know Everyone’s Story
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.

Radio Headspace Rewind: You Were Born With A Destiny
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.

Radio Headspace Rewind: Your Reticular Activating System
All of the sensory information we receive every single day is filtered by one part of the brain: the reticular activating system, or RAS.

Radio Headspace Rewind: Don’t Forget To Breathe
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.

Radio Headspace Rewind: Stay Strong
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.

1/31/2022 • 3 minutes, 27 seconds
Reacting vs Responding
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.
1/28/2022 • 4 minutes, 17 seconds
Noticing the Signs
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.

Mental Health and Racism
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.

The Pleasant Events Calendar
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.
1/25/2022 • 4 minutes, 57 seconds
Authentic Relationships
Sometimes making friends can be easy, and sometimes it’s hard.

Wellness in the Workplace
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?
1/20/2022 • 4 minutes, 30 seconds
A Dichotomous Situation
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.
1/19/2022 • 4 minutes, 47 seconds
It Takes Time
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.
1/18/2022 • 3 minutes, 56 seconds
Meditation is a Practice
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.
1/17/2022 • 4 minutes, 34 seconds
Everyone is Different
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.
1/14/2022 • 4 minutes, 1 second
Leading by Example
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.
1/13/2022 • 4 minutes, 53 seconds
The Healing Power of Laughter
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.
1/12/2022 • 5 minutes, 42 seconds
New Beginnings
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.
1/11/2022 • 4 minutes, 14 seconds
Lost in Thought
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.
1/10/2022 • 5 minutes, 8 seconds
Non-Striving Attitude
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.
1/7/2022 • 4 minutes, 10 seconds
Trust Yourself
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.
1/6/2022 • 4 minutes, 59 seconds
Accept Where You Are
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.
1/5/2022 • 3 minutes, 40 seconds
Patience Takes Practice
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.
1/4/2022 • 3 minutes, 58 seconds
New Year, New Me
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.

Radio Headspace Rewind: In Defense of Effort

Radio Headspace Rewind: Pics or It Didn’t Happen?
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.

Radio Headspace Rewind: The Weaponization Of Mindfulness
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.

Radio Headspace Rewind: You vs. You
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.

Radio Headspace Rewind: The End of a Feeling
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.

Radio Headspace Rewind: Light vs. Warmth
Mindfulness is good for many things, but we tend to look at it differently depending on where we’ve learned it.

Radio Headspace Rewind: Having Scary Thoughts
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.

The Vortex
Many of us have a drive to perfect everything. From work to social engagements, and even our loved ones, we strive to constantly improve. And of course, improvement is good, but sometimes we need to think of the cost. In this vortex of self-improvement, we can lose sight of how beautiful we, and those around us, already are.

Tolerating Distress
If you've listened to Radio Headspace regularly then you know that there are a lot of things that are out of our control.

Connection Means Community
There are studies that show humans are feeling lonelier and more isolated than ever before. And while it may feel like it's a great thing to "respect each other's Headspace" and privacy, someone may be waiting for you to reach out to connect. If you're feeling lonely, or suspect someone you know may be, send them a message or give them a call today. It may make you both feel a little more connected, and a little less lonely.

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

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.

Fight Club Rules Apply
The more we shout the benefits of meditating, very often the further we get from the actual experience of doing it.

Let Go of Great Expectations
How much time do you spend trying to anticipate what people are going to do next? Especially with young children, we can place pretty big expectations on who or what they’re going to be or do. But in doing that, we don’t allow people to be who they actually are. Today, instead of trying to anticipate, try experiencing someone as they are in that moment. Learn more about your ad choices.

Happiness Isn’t a Destination
We hear from a lot of people looking for “happiness” or “enlightenment” like it’s a status or level to achieve in our lives. But really, it’s a state of being. And whenever we are present in the moments of our life, that is enlightenment. Happiness isn’t waiting for you somewhere in the future — it’s here, right now. Learn more about your ad choices.

Take Your Practice With You
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. Haven’t Seen “Whole Foods Parking Lot”? Check it out here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What Story Are You Telling?
Humans are amazing storytellers. It allows us to connect with each other, entertain each other and empathize with each other. But problems arise when the stories that we create in our minds grow beyond our current reality. Today, look out for times when thoughts are spinning out and focus instead, on what is happening in this moment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What’s Real and What’s Not?
A lot of us walk around waiting for something to happen. We can carry that tension in our bodies and minds, constantly on alert, imagining an unpleasant experience. It’s an uncomfortable way to live. And if we walk through life waiting, or intentionally looking for those things, we will keep that story alive. This weekend, try to let go of what’s not real and focus on what is.

Being vs. Becoming
Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? How about what you want to be in 5 years? Maybe even in 5 minutes? So often, we’re so focused on becoming something or someone different, that we can forget to just be who we are right now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

How Do You See Yourself?
We all seem to have a fixed idea of who we think we are and who we’re not. And often, that can define how we live. We just might be shortchanging ourselves in the process. But if we can catch those ideas as they arise and explore them, we can see that anything and everything is possible. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
