Hey everyone, it's Dora 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 you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

thinking about exercising. Now for me, I try and get out my stuff the night before so

I'm more likely to just be able to kind of use it first thing in the morning. But let's

say the alarm goes off. I wake up, I open my eyes and a thought arises in my mind. I don't
