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,

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

projected into the world or that might have been projected onto us by others and when we take

hold of it, make it kind of who we are. It's really important that we dig into that and better

Let's say it's worry. We're someone who worries a lot or we're fearful a lot in some way.

Let's start actually looking for the anxiety and this person saying, I haven't got time for these

games. I'm too busy. Although it may sound like a game in the same way that if we had something wrong
