  • Hey there, welcome to Radio Headspace.

  • It's Kaysunga here, and it's Tuesday.

  • Let's get right into it.

  • So this week I thought it'd be fun to revisit my segment called Mindful Music.

  • Remembering the mindful music segment is where I give a very small portion of lyrics from a song and then discuss the mindful inspirational meaning behind my choice.

  • Alright, today's lyrics go like this.

  • You're broken down and tired of living life on a merry-go-round.

  • And you can't find the fighter, but I see it in you, so we're gonna walk it out.

  • So the theme of hopefulness during stressful times immediately comes up for me when I read these lyrics.

  • The first two lines, you're broken and tired of living life on a merry-go-round,

  • speaks to the inevitable stress and the trials and tribulations that we all endure at some point in our lives.

  • And it's an ever-present cycle as a merry-go-round.

  • The image of my ancestors and what they had to endure in this country comes to mind here.

  • From slavery to Jim Crow to the Civil Rights Movement.

  • Having to face that brutality day in and day out, generation after generation.

  • And through it all, a sense of faith and hopefulness was maintained.

  • That's just so amazing to me.

  • And that's what comes up for me.

  • As I said, stress means something different for everyone.

  • It may be your present-day work situation that you hate, but have to face it day in and day out.
