  • Hey, it's Scott from Headspace.

  • You might not know my voice, but if you use Headspace, you definitely know my sounds.

  • I transport you to the local late-night laundromat or take you aboard a boat full of cats.

  • As the unofficial captain of the Headspace Dream Team, I want to invite you to enter our contest.

  • We're on the lookout for a voice to help our listeners fall asleep easy by guiding them on an all-new sleepcast.

  • Think you have what it takes?

  • Find all the details at headspace.com slash dreamteam or on social media at Headspace.

  • Happy Monday, my good people.

  • Welcome back to another episode of Radio Headspace.

  • I'm your host, Dora Kamau.

  • Okay, have you ever invested so much time into something or someone,

  • and because of how much time you invested,

  • you still stay committed to the cause,

  • even when it no longer served you or was no longer in your best interest?

  • Maybe it's a job or a friendship or even a personal project you decided to take on that turned out to be way more work than you thought without a lot of payoff.

  • This, my friend, is called the sunken cost fallacy.

  • And usually we have a tough time moving away from these situations

  • because we're looking back at what we've invested.

  • We get caught up in the past and we think about all the time that we've spent and the energy we've put into this thing.

  • and we aren't aware of the present moment.
