Greetings, K-Sunga here.

Before we start the show, I just wanted to jump in to say that we have something a little

different for you.

Since the selection we had here in the US, to get you through the next several days,

and all the chatter that comes with that, we thought we'd replace some episodes with

some helpful tips from our founder Andy.

So if you're feeling stressed or anxious during this time, here's the first of five

episodes on how mindfulness can help you gain perspective and peace as we experience

a changing world.

Hi, my name's Andy and welcome to Radio Headspace and to Monday Morning.

And to Election Week, you may not live in America, but it's pretty hard to ignore.

But over the last, how many years is it? We've been building up to the next election here.

And I think understandably, a lot of people are feeling very stressed, very anxious, if

you look online, very angry, on all sides of the divide.

My hope was today, we could just look at some sort of practical tips for how to actually

make it through the week.

No matter how you're feeling, no matter who you're voting for, hopefully you're voting for

somebody.

I've come back to this idea and this set of teaching so many times on Radio Headspace

and there's a good reason for it.

It's really useful.

It works and I feel like it's got me through pretty much every situation in my life.
