Hey everyone, it's K-Sunga here. I just want to let you know that we've launched a brand

new call and advice podcast called Dear Headspace. Each week the headspace teachers, along

with some amazing new friends, are answering your questions about relationships, work,

life, mindfulness, and just about everything else. It's so different from anything we've

ever created and we're so excited for you to hear it. Dear Headspace comes out every

Tuesday on the Headspace app and anywhere that you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

Hey, my name is Dora. Welcome to Radio Headspace and to Thursday. The other day I was listening

to a podcast on my morning walk and the topic was about living and being in the body. The

speaker was mentioning how the society that we live in now is so overstimulating and we tend

to spend more time in our minds and in our bodies. By being fully present within ourselves,

rebuilding that mind-body connection is how we can fully arrive in every moment. Later

on in the podcast, still on the topic of being present in the body, the speaker mentioned

that children's lives are heavily influenced by the unlive lives of their parents and this

is also a way that we can be disconnected from our own bodies and experiences by trying

to live vicariously through other people. And of course, this made me think of my relationship

with my parents and how much I was influenced by their unlived or unfulfilled lives. They

didn't have the choice to fulfill their dreams or even the access to such possibilities.

They were merely trying to survive as our most immigrant parents.

When you first open the Headspace app, there's usually a short video segment called The Wake

Up and these videos are there to help our members start their day on a mindful note. There

can be anything from learning about the lives of polar bears to learning about the history

of salsa. If you haven't watched yet, I highly recommend it.
