  • Hi, welcome to Friday and to Radio Headspace.

  • It's Dora.

  • We've made it to the end of another week, friends.

  • Take a deep breath and let it all go.

  • Now, if you've ever meditated, you've probably noticed your mind wandering.

  • Honestly, even if you've never meditated, you've definitely experienced this.

  • You sit down to focus on something and suddenly you're thinking about what you had for lunch three days ago.

  • Wondering if you locked the door this morning or rehashing that awkward conversation from two years ago.

  • The mind has a way of taking little joy rides when we least expect it.

  • Now, what if I told you that this is what the mind has been designed to do?

  • One of the biggest misconceptions about meditation is that your mind is supposed to be completely still or empty.

  • Yet mind-wandering isn't a sign of failure.
