Children throw tantrums and we call them “naughty.” We say, “they’ll grow out of it,” and move on. But as adults, we don’t stop reacting — it just looks a little different. We may say or do something we regret. So the next time someone around you is reacting in a way that’s surprising, take a step back and create some space.Want more Andy? Try Headspace today.

A lot of us are cooped up much more than usual. You may not even be able to go outside for a walk where you live — and you may not want to. It can feel like there’s too much going on. But in every moment, we have the opportunity to pause and take a good look. See the colors of the world, the simplicity of a tree or flower, and appreciate that moment of calm. Want more Andy?

Ten years after we launched Headspace, we’re launching our first official podcast. Because now, more than ever, there’s so much noise in the world. Most of us don’t know how we approach our own minds, thoughts, or feelings. We can get so caught up in our individual circumstances that we don’t see that we’re all in this together — and that shared unity is a beautiful thing. Tune in to new episodes of Radio Headspace every weekday morning. Want more Andy? Try Headspace today. Learn more about your ad choices.

When we greet difficult thoughts and feelings with a sense of interest rather than shutting down, we are welcoming an opportunity to practice curiosity in a way that would lead us to a constructive outcome.

We all have our own definition of what love is. The feeling of love is a tangible, palpable emotion that is always evolving and changing to fit into the various spaces we allow for it. A trait of love is the presence of positivity that resonates throughout the experience.Want more Sam? Try Headspace today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Take a moment to think about what integration really means, as it is the opposite of feeling scattered or disassociated. When we accept our experiences for what they are rather than ignoring or rejecting them, this is when we integrate our experiences into the fabric of who we are as individuals.Want more Sam?

One of the biggest obstacles to meditation is the restlessness that we feel when we are attempting to do nothing. When we give in to every urge, it’s hard to reach deeper levels of concentration, or to give ourselves a chance to see how fleeting those feelings can be. Want more Sam? Try Headspace today.
