Sunday Scaries by Headspace

A relationship with daily anxiety may not be one that we want, but it’s one many of us have. How you relate to that anxiety, though, is up to you. When you feel those anxious thoughts ramp up on your Sunday afternoons, try catching them, acknowledging them, and releasing them back to where they came from. Don’t worry, Dora will walk you through it. Dora actually leads an entire course on general anxiety inside the Headspace app. Join her and deepen your practice with a month of free Headspace.

How often do you label your thoughts as a good thought or a bad thought? Well, thoughts are neither good nor bad. Thoughts are just thoughts. The work of mindfulness, though, is to learn to step back from those thoughts, and see them for what they are before we assign meaning. Easier said than done! But the more you practice letting thoughts pass by, the easier it becomes. You can start your practice with Headspace today. Use the code SUNDAY to get a month of Headspace for free.
