Hey everyone, my name is Rosie and I'm one of the new hosts of Radio Headspace.

I'm an author and a yoga meditation teacher and my new episodes are debuting February of next year.

I can't wait to share them with you.

In the meantime, I'd like to let you know about a new show from Headspace Studios called Dear Headspace.

It's a call and advice show where Headspace teachers answer questions each week about anything and everything.

We talk about family, relationships, mindfulness and so much more.

You can find Dear Headspace on the Headspace app or wherever you listen to podcasts. Thanks for listening.

Headspace Studio.

Hi, I'm Sam and welcome to Radio Headspace and to Friday morning.

I've been binge watching a lot of shows and I notice how relaxing this can be for me, how much I look forward to it.

Getting absorbed in a good show feels like my brain is being coated in a soothing balm,

storytelling as powerful medicine.

There's a point however when I notice my body and mind starting to ping me,

telling me it's time to do something else, whether it's going for a walk or meeting a friend, completing a writing assignment or cook,

or having else that's more creative.

And when we hear the word creative, we may immediately think about painting or writing or cooking,

but integrating our experience is also a creative process.

I've been thinking about all of the stimuli of our lives, all of the sensory information that we consume from billboards to news on the radio,

to stories our family members share with us after a busy day.

If we don't take time to digest or process all of that stimuli, it starts to pile up, and we seek more ways to numb ourselves out or just to zone out from it all.

I remember a trip I took some years ago, walking on the beach with my friend, with whom I usually have wonderfully rich and transformative conversations.

We were talking about how we make peace with things, and this phrase make peace stop to center tracks.
