I'm not sure if you've heard that Headspace has a brand new TV show on Netflix.

Called the Headspace Guide to Meditation, launching January 1st.

They episodes in every episode introducing a new technique, a new way of training the mind.

My hope is that there will be something for everyone, no matter what's going on in your life right now.

If you enjoy Radio Headspace, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy Headspace Guide to Meditation too.

So I'll see you then, your living room, Jan 1st, only on Netflix.

Hi, it's Andy here and welcome to Radio Headspace and to Tuesday morning.

So ordinarily I'm sat here talking about the present moment, the importance of the present moment,

and how we can benefit from living a life being less distracted by the past, the future,

and spending more time in the present.

The danger of that is that it sounds as though the past and the future are being excluded in some way.

And they're really not.

It's essential sometimes that we sit and either reflect on the past or we look and plan for the future.

And it's possible to do both from this position of being present.

The risk is losing our consciousness, if you like, as we drift backwards or forward,

where we are no longer present thinking about the future.

We are simply in the future in our mind, in a time and a place that hasn't exist,

creating scenarios and thinking about those things as though they are actually happening.

That's the risk and that's the dangerous.

The past or the future is bad, it's just that there is a risk that we get lost in thinking

about these things that haven't even happened yet or remembering these things in a different

way than maybe that they happened at the time.
